Creamy Pesto Alfredo With Shrimp and Linguini

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Boil large pot of lightly salted water. Add pasta and cook 8-10 minutes or to preferred texture.
- 2
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in cream and season with pepper. Cook 6-8 minutes, stirring constantly.
- 3
Stir in Parmesan cheese into cream sauce (if you grate the cheese yourself, a half cup is plenty, if you use pre-grated cheese you may want to use a cup. It can be added later). Stir until thoroughly mixed. Blend in pesto and cook 3-5 minutes, until thickened. If it needs thickening add the cornstarch and some more cheese. The sauce will thicken some when added to pasta so aim for a thickened liquid (like agave syrup).
- 4
Stir in shrimp and cook until pink, about 5 minutes. Serve over hot linguine

This couldn't be much easier. I actually had some leftover fettuccini and leftover chicken (which made it even more quick) from last night and simply mixed some jarred alfredo sauce and some jarred basil pesto. #worldonaplate #myitalian

Tortellini Pesto Alfredo Tortellini Pesto Alfredo
The soul purpose if this recipe was because I wanted to mix pesto and alfredo together. I used zucchini but am writing the recipe with spinach as I believe it would have meshed better. I used jar sauce because working mom and all, but would be just as delicious with homemade!

Mike's EZ Garlic Clam Linguine Alfredo Mike's EZ Garlic Clam Linguine Alfredo
So easy to make, know that 7 and 8 year olds made this delectably rich, creamy, garlicy, clamy pasta dish in 30 minutes flat! With a side bread dish!To save time, the kiddos employed pre-steamed hard shell clams and canned baby clams. You can make your own homemade garlic alfredo sauce but, why when Bertolli makes one of the best tasting sauces out there? It's definitely restaurant quality so, why not save yourself some valuable time tonight?
