Shrimp Alfredo with spinach is a low-effort, high-reward dish that will make you feel like a dinner party legend—even if you're eating it in front of the TV.
Ingredients
1 package (9 ounces) refrigerated fettuccine
1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon butter
1 jar (15 ounces) Alfredo sauce
1 package (10 ounces) fresh baby spinach, chopped
1 pound peeled and deveined cooked shrimp (31-40 per pound)
Instructions
1Cook the pasta
2Cook the fettuccine according to the package directions. Editor's Tip: Don't skip salting your pasta water—it's your only shot at seasoning the noodles!
3Make the sauce
4Saute the mushrooms and onion in butter in a large skillet until they're tender. Stir in the Alfredo sauce.
5Add spinach and shrimp
6Add the spinach and shrimp and cook them until they're just heated through. Editor's Tip: Cooked shrimp can turn rubbery fast. Just give them a gentle warm-up.
7Combine with pasta
8Drain the fettuccine and add it to the sauce. Toss to coat the pasta in the sauce. Editor's Tip: Finish with freshly grated Parmesan and cracked pepper for a touch of extra seasoning.
