Delicious Creamy Shrimp Bowtie Pasta Recipe
Hey, Welcome to Kenya’s Kitchen88!
Today I will be sharing a simple creamy pasta recipe for you to cook. This recipe is a little untraditional but is a definite game changer. This is a great shrimp pasta recipe to make for a nice romantic dinner for two. Or for when you’re in the mood to turn it up a notch in the kitchen.
This creamy pasta recipe is packed with flavor and is so delicious. My recipe is a slight twist on the classic Alfredo fettuccine. For this recipe I switched out the fettuccine with bow-tie pasta instead.
One of the great things about this recipe is the sauce. The sauce is so amazing! It’s a rich velvety sauce that comes together so easy with Parmesan, mozzarella cheese, whipping cream, butter, garlic, and a few other special ingredients.
The shrimp is well-seasoned and sautéed in some melted butter, then tossed in a creamy rich sauce with bow-tie pasta.
