Ingredients

Scale

Fettuccine:

  • 8 ounces fettuccine (whole wheat or regular)

Shrimp:

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 12 ounces large uncooked shrimp (peeled, tails removed, and deveined)
  • salt and fresh ground black pepper (to taste)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced, divided)

Sauce:

  • ½ tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
  • ¼ cup low-sodium fat-free chicken broth
  • ⅓ cup reduced-fat cream cheese (softened)
  • ½ cup skim milk
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 bag (6 ounces) baby spinach
  • fresh chopped parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta. Prepare the fettuccine according to the instructions on the package.
  2. Sauté the shrimp. In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add shrimp, salt, pepper, and 1 clove of minced garlic. Cook until shrimp is pink and cooked through, about 1-2 minutes. Set aside.
  3. Sauté the tomatoes. Heat olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add cherry tomatoes; cook until beginning to soften. Add remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, about 20 seconds.
  4. Make the sauce. Add chicken broth, cream cheese, milk, seasonings, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Combine. Add spinach to the sauce; cook for 1 minute. Toss in the cooked shrimp and fettuccine, coating everything evenly.
  6. Serve. Remove from heat, stir in parsley, and serve hot. Enjoy!
