photo by:kraft

Fresh tomatoes and basil are available year-round. That's good news, because this creamy shrimp pasta shouldn’t be enjoyed only in summer.

This is an excellent recipe for your family or company. I have passed this recipe on to many of my friends with all the same result. It's Great!!!! I doubled the amount of cr. cheese used and also the shrimp. At the very end I added half and half to make it creamier and richer,did not feel it needed and kind of cheese at all.

It was very simple to make but there was barely any flavor. I was bored while eating it.

This is so tasty! May want to double the sauce maybe, just to give the noodles more flavor, but it was delish as is too!

Bleh - I was really disappointed with this. I made this for my boyfriend last night for Valenitne's Day and it was not very good. I even took the recommendations and added a little more. I used italian dressing and old bay to season the shrimp and sauteed them in garlic, olive oil, and onions, which was the only good part of the dish. I added milk to the cream cheese sauce, but it still wasn't much of a sauce. It was just gross, and I absolutely LOVe cream cheese. Would not make this again.
