I pinned this recipe on Pinterest and decided it would be the perfect thing to make for my wonderful in-laws when they came to visit our new house (and help put up a cabinet). This is an easy, yet impressive dinner for your guests. It is creamy and cheesy (but not too cheesy) with just the right amount of tomatoes blended in. I served it with a spinach salad and Cheesy Biscuit Bombs.
1 to 1 1/2 pounds uncooked pasta (I used rotini, but you can use linguine or whatever you choose)
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cloves garlic - optional
1 can (14.5 ounces) Italian style tomatoes, do not drain
6 ounces fresh spinach leaves
1 pound frozen cooked, peeled, deveined shrimp
1/2 cup whipping cream (I used more like 3/4 to 1 cup for 1 1/2 pounds pasta)
Salt and pepper
1 cup Italian three cheese blend
3 tablespoons fresh shredded Parmesan cheese
Cook pasta as directed. Heat oil in a large skillet. Add garlic and cook (optional). Add tomatoes and simmer for 4 minutes. Add spinach and cook until wilted (about 1 minute). Add shrimp and cream, cook 4 minutes or until heated through. Season with fresh ground pepper and some salt.
Add drained pasta to the skillet (I had too much pasta to fit, so I added the cream mixture to the pasta). Toss to combine. Add Italian cheese blend, stir once. Top with Parmesan cheese.
