Shrimp Pasta with a Garlic White Wine Alfredo Sauce


A few weeks ago, Josh and I bought some fresh pasta from Central Market. The sole I had been planning on making was not available, so we decided to improvise and make a shrimp pasta. We also picked up some of their alfredo sauce made on-site.



We made a sauce with roasted, minced garlic, white wine, a few tablespoons of alfredo sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and crushed red pepper. We cooked the shrimp, some cherry tomatoes, arugula and basil, adding in the cooked pasta and some freshly grated parmigiano reggiano cheese.

It was a great dinner. We tried making it again with most of the items on hand, but added peas instead of basil. It was definitely missing the basil, but some lemon juice we added to the sauce added a nice touch.
