Creamy Shrimp Pasta

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is lower in fat and adds a cheesy flavor

Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high flame and add olive oil.

Add chopped mushrooms and onions to the pan and sauté until soft.

Crush garlic and add it to the pan last to avoid burning it.

Once the mushrooms and onions are soft, add half a cup of the cooked linguini to the pan.

Increase the heat and add shrimp, paprika, red chili flakes, and salt to the pan.

Mix everything together and cook for about 2 minutes, ensuring shrimp are not overcooked.

Lower the heat and gradually add milk to the pan, stirring continuously.

Add cream cheese to the mixture and allow it to melt down, thickening the sauce.

Add freshly grated mozzarella, asiago, and parmesan cheeses to the sauce and stir until melted and creamy.

Add the remaining cooked linguini to the sauce and mix well to combine everything.

Finish the dish with a drizzle of garlic butter on top.
