Creamy Tuscan Shrimp Fusilli

Creamy Tuscan Shrimp Fusilli

Creamy Tuscan Shrimp Fusilli is one of those wonderful recipes that is delicious, easy and quick to put together. Once you have all of your ingredients prepped for the dish, the sauce comes together in just a few minutes. You can put on a large pot of water for the pasta on at the same time that you begin preparing the sauce. By the time your water boils and you cook the fusilli, the sauce will be finished.

What I really like about this Creamy Tuscan Shrimp Fusilli  recipe is the flexibility. Last night I wanted to have a fresh tortellini dish for dinner. I took this recipe and switched out the shrimp for sliced boneless chicken breast and used 8 ounces of tortellini in place of the fusilli. It was so good! You could really play around with this basic cream sauce and have some fun.

I made this and it was delicious. I need to make the sauce thicker.

The key here is in the simmering and the time can change due to conditions like humidity.Simmer until it looks fairly thick. The parmesan addition should really thicken it at that point. Thanks for your comment and for following along.
