Garlic Shrimp & Mushroom Pasta

This is a great quick meal if you are traveling in an RV or at home and looking for a great meal in a short time, allow about 30 minutes from start to finish. It serves 5 or 2 people with second helpings!

List of Ingredients are:

8 oz uncooked angel hair pasta or your favorite pasta, I prefer Mezze Penne. (Al Dente) Cooks in 9-10 minutes

1/2 lb. sliced fresh mushrooms.

1 medium onion, finely chopped

1/3 cup olive oil

4 garlic cloves, minced

I lb. uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

1/2 cup of chicken broth

1 tbsp. Italian seasoning

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

2 Plum tomatoes, finely chopped, or any small yet firm variety will do as well

1/2 cup grated Romano cheese, divided. ( you use half now, half later)

1 Tbsp. butter

Directions:

1. Cook  pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, saute mushrooms and onions in olive oil in a large pan  until tender. Add garlic, cook 1 minute longer just enough time to warm it up.

2. Add the shrimp, broth and seasonings. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook and stir for 4-5 minutes or until sauce is slightly thickened and shrimp turns pink.

3. Stir in the tomatoes, 1/4 cup cheese and butter. Drain paste; toss with shrimp mixture. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.

Extra’s:

Toasted garlic bread sticks and any Italian dipping sauce. I prefer the white truffle infused Olive Oil with Garlic and Tomato dipping sauce seasoning. Serve with a tossed salad for a complete meal.

There was a time in my childhood that I thought nothing of duck fat or quail eggs. That’s because they were plentiful where I was raised.  Now that all the Iron Chefs, etc. have discovered our family heritage, lol’s, it now cost us much more for these old familier flavors. So be it! I’ll pay the price! Gladly…
