This Creamy fettuccine should be cooked al dente so the strands remain intact and maintain their slightly firm texture. A wonderful dish for seafood lovers.

Ingredients
  • 1 pound uncooked fettuccine
  • 2 bacon slices (uncooked)
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen green peas, thawed
  • 1 cup shredded carrot
  • 2 cups 2% reduced-fat milk
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 cup (4 ounces) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, divided

Directions
  1. Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain well; keep warm.
  2. Cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat 6 minutes or until crisp. Remove bacon from the pan, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings in pan. Crumble bacon; set aside.
  3. Add shrimp and garlic to pan; sauté over medium-high heat 2 minutes. Add peas and carrot; cook 2 minutes or just until shrimp are done. Transfer shrimp mixture to a large bowl; keep warm.
  4. Combine milk, flour, salt, and pepper, stirring with a whisk. Add milk mixture to pan; cook over medium heat 3 minutes or until thickened and bubbly, stirring constantly with a whisk. Remove pan from heat; add cheese, stirring until blended. Add milk mixture to shrimp mixture; stir until combined. Add pasta and 1/4 cup parsley, tossing gently to coat. Transfer pasta mixture to a platter, or divide evenly among each of 8 plates; sprinkle evenly with remaining 1/4 cup parsley and crumbled bacon. Serve immediately.

This looks very nice. Like the idea of the carrot with this combination. Hmmm.


High Five for this great Pasta dish!!! :)


Wow I could really get my kids(and myself) to eat carrots if I sneak them in here... As for the frozen peas I might have to leave those out. I think I will be making this one soon :) Thanks
