Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz fettuccine pasta

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • ½ cup chicken broth

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste


Instructions

  • Cook fettuccine according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook until pink, about 3 minutes per side. Remove shrimp and set aside.

  • In the same skillet, add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  • Stir in heavy cream, chicken broth, Parmesan, sun-dried tomatoes, and Italian seasoning. Simmer until slightly thickened, 4–5 minutes.

  • Add spinach and stir until wilted.

  • Return shrimp to the skillet, then toss in cooked fettuccine. Mix well until coated.

 

  • Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan and black pepper.


Notes

Substitute shrimp with chicken or scallops for variety

For a lighter version, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream

Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick
