Ingredients

Uncooked Penney Pasta 350g 

Mushrooms 225g

Shrimp (peeled & deveined) 450g

Alfredo sauce 340g

Butter 60g

Grated Parmesan Cheese 60 g

Method

·         Add the pasta to a large pot of boiling salted water and cook for 8-10 minutes.

·         

    On a parallel stove (why waste time? :)), melt butter and olive oil on medium heat.

·         

    Stir in the onions and cook for about 2 minutes followed by garlic, red pepper and mushroom and let them cook for another 2-4 minutes.

·        

    Toss in the shrimps into the mix and cook until they turn firm and pink. Pour in the Alfredo sauce (which you could easily make at home or (if you’re as lazy as me) buy from any decent supermarket) followed by the Parmesan and the cream. Stir until it thickens and simmers.

·         

    The pasta! Take it off the heat and drain the excess water.
