Ingredients
- 8 ounces linguini, uncooked
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1-3/4 cups asparagus
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 garlic cloves
- 3 ounces cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 3/4 teaspoon dried basil
- 2/3 cup dry white wine
- 1/2 pound peeled, cooked shrimp
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Cook linguini as directed, in boiling water until tender but omit the salt. Drain.
- Place asparagus on a baking sheet. Dribble 2 tablespoons of olive oil over asparagus and bake for 7 to 8 minutes, until tender.
- Remove from oven and transfer to a plate. Once cool, cut asparagus into medium-sized pieces.
- Mince garlic and chop parsley.
- In a large skillet melt 1/2-cup butter with minced garlic.
- Stir in cream cheese and mix as it melts.
- Stir in parsley and basil. Simmer for 5 minutes. Mix in boiling water or dry white wine and stir until sauce is smooth.
- Add cooked shrimp and asparagus. Stir and heat until evenly warm.
- Toss cooked pasta with sauce and serve.
Helpful hints
- Pasta can be prepared with low-fat or fat-free cream cheese and butter can be reduced to 1/4 cup to reduce fat and calories.
- Most grocery stores have cooked and peeled frozen shrimp that work great in this pasta.
- Dry white wine in place of water adds extra flavor, but you can use water instead.
- 1/2-pound asparagus yields approximately 1-3/4 cups.
