Shrimp with Ricotta Sauce on Pasta
This is an easy kid-friendly pasta and shrimp recipe.
- 1 tsp butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes
- 3/4 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3/4 pound of shrimp
- 1/2 cup frozen peas (optional)
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 pinch nutmeg
- 1/4 cup grated cheese (Jack, Cheddar, or Parmesan)
Start a large pot of water to boil and add the pasta (spaghetti, fettuccini, whatever) at some point during the below process so it's all done at the same time. If you're unsure, cook the sauce and leave it on low to keep warm while you cook the pasta.
Heat the butter in a saucepan and cook the garlic and red pepper flakes a few minutes, until the garlic is softened. In a small bowl whisk together the ricotta and milk, then add to the pan and stir until warmed. Mix in the other ingredients. If the shrimp is raw, heat at a very low simmer until cooked through. If the shrimp is cooked, just heat through.
