A note about serious food allergies

Does a weeknight pasta need to be complicated? No, it does not. (We answered our own question here. We often do that. We also often talk to ourselves during these meal descriptions. Is that weird?) This pasta comes together right quick, with tons of flavor and delicious yummies, like shrimp, mushrooms, juicy tomatoes, a hint of heat (red pepper flakes), and a bunch of cheese (nutty Parmesan.) Is this weeknight pasta the one of your dreams? That's a question only you can answer.

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using 16 oz. shrimp, follow same instructions as 8 oz. shrimp, working in batches if necessary.

  • If using steak strips, separate into a single layer and pat dry. Follow same instructions as shrimp in Step 3, stirring occasionally until no pink remains and steak reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes. Rest, 3 minutes.

  • If using whole chicken breasts, pat dry and, on a separate cutting board, cut into 1” dice. Follow same instructions as shrimp in Step 3, stirring occasionally until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes.

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    Once water in medium pot is boiling, add pasta and cook until al dente, 8-10 minutes.

    Reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooking water. Drain in a colander. Set aside.

    While pasta boils, prepare ingredients.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Core tomatoes and cut into 1/4" dice.

    Thinly slice mushrooms.

    Pat shrimp dry.

  3. 3

    Cook the Shrimp

    Heat 1 tsp. olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.

    Add shrimp to hot pan and cook until opaque and shrimp reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 2-3 minutes per side.

    Remove from burner. Transfer shrimp to a plate. Wipe pan clean and reserve.

  4. 4

    Cook the Mushrooms

    Return pan used to cook shrimp to medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add mushrooms to hot pan and stir occasionally until browned, 4-6 minutes.

  5. 5

    Make Sauce and Finish Dish

    Return pan used to cook mushrooms to medium heat. Add wine to hot pan. Bring to a simmer. Once simmering, stir in butter until melted.

    Add shrimp, mushrooms, pasta, half the pasta cooking water, crème fraîche, half the cheese (reserve remaining for garnish), tomatoes, and garlic salt. Stir until combined, 1-2 minutes.

    If too thick, add additional pasta cooking water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Remove from burner.
