COPYCAT APPLEBEES CREAMY PENNE PASTA WITH SLICED PRIME RIB

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Season both sides of the steak with salt and pepper.
• Place a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat with 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon oil. Once very hot, place the steak in and cook for 5 minutes on the first side. Flip over and transfer to the oven and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest.
• Add the remaining butter and oil to another large skillet and set over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shallot and garlic and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until they've browned, about 8 minutes.
• Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
• Add the cream, lower the heat and simmer until reduced and thickened, about 10 minutes. Stir in ¾ cup of the parmesan and the sun dried tomatoes. Stir in the cooked pasta and parsley and stir until evenly combined.
• Slice the steak into thin slices on an angle and then add to the pasta. Stir until just combined. Serve with parsley and parmesan on top.

APPLEBEE'S COPYCAT CAJUN SHRIMP PASTA - (7 WW PTS) RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Prepare the fettuccine 1 minute shy of the package instructions. If you drop the pasta into the salted boiling water just after starting the sauce they will both be done at roughly the same time. In a small bowl, mix the shrimp with the Cajun seasoning. In a large sauté pan over a medium high heat, add the peppers, onions and olive oil with some salt and pepper to taste and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes or until they begin to soften. Push all of the veggies to one side of the pan and add the butter, garlic, lemon zest and shrimp to the empty part of the pan then sauté the shrimp for 2 minutes on the first side and an additional minute on the second side. If your pasta in not done yet you'll need to remove the shrimp from the pan so they won't overcook. Continue sautéing the peppers and onions using the whole surface of the pan now and once the fettuccine is done add it to the pan but reserve some of the pasta cooking water in case it is needed to loosen the dish. Add the shrimp back into the pan then squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the skillet and continue to toss the pasta until everything is well combined then serve.
