Bring to a boil, cook and stir for 1-2 minutes until thickened. Drain pasta. Add to sausage mixture, toss to coat. sprinkle with parmesan.

Shrimp Tortellini

This is just what I throw together sometimes for a quick dinner. Riley LOVES shrimp so he gets so excited when I make this. Sorry not really any measurements…

Cook cheese filled tortellini pasta

In the meantime, saute fresh mushrooms & onion. Add a bottle of alfredo sauce (or make your own, I did find a good recipe for one, I’ll have to find it again) and the shrimp. Add the tortellini once it’s cooked. So fast, easy & yummy!

Linguine with Shrimp or Chicken Scampi

Another one from Erin. We haven’t had this in forever, but we do love it. Especially with shrimp, this is great!

Salt

1 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic

1/3 cup chopped parsley

1 small zucchini

1/2 lemons, zest grated

1/4 c lemon juice (2 lemons)

1/4 lemon, thinly sliced in half rounds

1/8 tsp Red pepper flakes (Those red pepper flakes are too hot for me, so I usually omit them)

Directions:

Drizzle some oil in a large pot of boiling salted water. Add linguine and cook for 7-10 minutes, tests done.

Meanwhile, in another large pot, melt butter and olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the garlic. Saute for 1 minute. Be careful, the garlic burns easily! Add the shrimp or chicken, zucchini 1 1/2 tsp salt and the pepper and saute until the shrimp have just turned pink, about 5 minutes, stirring often. Remove from the heat; add the parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, lemon slices, and red pepper flakes. Toss to combine.
