Nothing beats a delicious meal that you can make in 30 minutes or less!! That is what you can do with this Easy Creamy Shrimp Pasta!
So I asked on Facebook last week what did my fans want to see more of on my site. One of them said pasta! So lucky for her I already had this pasta dish in mind.
.
Around the holidays I know in some Italian families it is traditional to have some sort of dish that includes fish or shrimp or salmon. We normally do a salmon pasta on New Years Eve but I was having a hard time finding the right kind of salmon for that dish, so I thought to myself “why not shrimp?”
This is one of those meals that you can throw together super fast but it seems like a high class type of dish. It includes garlic shrimp, a white béchamel sauce with nutmeg and of course spaghetti! You can pretty much get all of the other ingredients prepared while your pasta water is coming to a boil and while the pasta is cooking as well. ENJOY!
