CREAMY SHRIMP AND MUSHROOM PASTA

Steps:

• Boil and salt a large pot of water and cook your pasta. I usually only use about half of an 8 oz box, preferring fewer noodles.
• While your pasta is cooking, cook your shrimp if necessary and reserve. If your shrimp are pre-cooked and frozen, quickly thaw them under running water.
• In a large skillet melt 2 tbsp of butter over medium heat and saute mushrooms until soft and brown. Season with salt and pepper.
• Reserve cooked mushrooms and melt remaining butter in the skillet. Add minced garlic, cream cheese, and herbs. At this point, I generally feel like something has gone terribly wrong. The cream cheese doesn't really melt and starts to look almost curdled, don't worry about it! It will all smooth out and be wonderful when we add the water. I promise.
• Simmer cream cheese mixture until well blended. Get a scoop of boiling pasta water from your noodle pot and mix it in, stirring quickly to smooth out the sauce.
• Keep sauce hot and add shrimp and mushrooms, mix well and simmer (stirring often) until everything is hot and thickened, about 10 minutes-you wont ruin this sauce by accidentally boiling it so don't worry.
• Toss sauce with cooked noodles and serve.
• Sprinkle with Parmesan Cheese & salt, to taste.

• Remove shrimp mixture from the skillet. Add mushrooms to the same skillet. Cook and stir, seasoning with salt, until juicy, about 5 minutes. Add the shrimp; immediately pour in half-and-half, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, constantly stirring, until cheese melts, 5 to 8 minutes. Cover with a lid and remove from heat.
• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. If cream sauce is too thick, add some pasta water in small amounts. Drain pasta and rinse with cold water. Add to the cream sauce.

CREAMY 'SHROOMS PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package directions until al dente. Do not drain.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms in an even layer and season with salt and pepper. Allow the shrooms to brown on one side, 1 to 2 minutes, then flip to crisp the other side, 1 to 2 minutes more. Remove to a plate and set aside.
• Add 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet and add the shallots and garlic if using. Season with salt and pepper and cook, slightly caramelizing to light golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the lemon juice and scrape up the brown bits (suc) on the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Return the mushrooms to the skillet, add the cream and bring to a simmer.
• Turn off the heat and stir in the cheese. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, remove the cooked pasta from the water and add it directly to the skillet. Toss to coat, adding pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
