Equipment
Ingredients
- 250 g Fettucine Pasta
- 2 Teaspoons Salt
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- ½ Small Yellow Onion chopped
- 4-5 Cloves Garlic crushed
- ¼ Cup Fresh Parsley chopped
- 1 Stick ½ Cup Butter, unsalted
- 4 oz Cream Cheese
- 1 Cup Heavy Cream
- ¼ Teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
- Kosher Salt and Black pepper to taste
- ½ - 1 lb Peeled Large Shrimp cooked or raw
- 1 Cup Mozzarella
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to boil, with 2 teaspoons salt.
- Add the Fettucine Noodles and cook until Al Dente per the package instructions (about 8-9 Minutes). Drain and set aside. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water in case you need it later.
- In a large ovenproof skillet - a cast iron skillet if you have one - heat the olive oil over a medium to medium high heat. If you are using raw shrimp add them now for a few minutes either side, then remove to the side.
- Add the chopped onions, garlic and parsley and cook a few minutes until the onions are soft and the garlic is fragrant.
- Add the butter, cream cheese, cream, red pepper flakes and salt and pepper. Continue stirring until all has melted.
- Stir in the parmesan until melted.
- Add the noodles back, along with the shrimp and stir to combine.
- Top with the grated mozzarella and place under a broiler for a few minutes until the cheese on top has melted and turned a golden brown.
Notes
Feel free to change up the amount of butter - I usually play it by ear mostly but add anywhere from 6-8 tablespoon butter.
Sprinkle a few tablespoons parsley for garnish if you want to pretty it up.
Have a few tablespoons parmesan handy to serve with, in case anyone wants extra to sprinkle on top.
When reheating this dish you may need a splash of milk to thin it a little.
For a little extra texture try sprinkling some bread crumbs on top with the mozzarella.
