Fettuccine with shrimp in cream sauce

Ingredients

Fettuccine Pasta - 14.1 oz
Peeled Cooked Shrimp - 10.6 oz
Cream 22% - 7 fl oz
Olive Oil - 2 spoons
Butter - 0.9 oz
Wheat Flour - 1 tablespoon
Grated Pecorino Pepato Cheese - 3 spoons
Chopped Sage Leaves - 1 tablespoon
Fresh basil leaves - a pinch

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Bring the water to a boil, add salt, toss in the shrimp, and cook for 5-6 minutes. At the same time, sauté the flour in butter in a skillet, then add cream, chopped parsley, and reduce the mixture by one third.

Step 2

Transfer the cooked shrimp to a bowl and let them cool. In the same water in which they were cooked, add the fettuccine and cook for the time recommended on the package until al dente (for me, this takes 6 minutes). Drain in a colander.

Step 3

Peel the shrimp (if necessary), then transfer most of them to a skillet with the sauce, along with the fettuccine. Add dried basil, heat for a minute, and serve on plates.
