Heaven on a Plate

For dinner tonight, we made homemade shrimp Alfredo on spinach pasta. It was better than I remember it being. We also made some garlic bread to go with it.

Alfredo Sauce

1 pint of heavy whipping cream
1/2 stick of butter
1 cup of Parmesan cheese (grated)
2-3 cloves of garlic (chopped)
1 teaspoon salt

Over low/medium heat, pour the heavy whipping cream in a medium saucepan. Melt in the butter. Stir in the garlic and salt. Stir in the Parmesan cheese very slowly. You want to make sure the cheese melts and you get a smoother sauce.

We sauteed 1 lb of shrimp with a little butter, garlic,and salt on the stove (we are a garlic loving family). We also boiled some spinach pasta nests (though they never stay in the nest form cause we stir it up in the pot with a little of the sauce to keep it from sticking).

Next time we are going to try it with a block of Parmesan and grate it ourselves as opposed to using the plastic jar stuff from Publix. In the pictures, you can barely see the sauce which really doesn't do it justice.

This is a very rich meal but it is also VERY good (well worth it).
