linguine noodles

On her dinner rotation night, my sister made this simple creamy linguine and shrimp. And miracle of all the big family miracles: dinner was served and the table fell silent except for forks twisting noodles and carrying them up to hungry open mouths. Twist, eat, repeat. After three hundred hours of eating these creamy noodles with fresh herbs and delicate and buttery shrimp, we all entered the Post-Food Happy Zone.

And could she please please please make it again for all the remaining cabin dinners? Like yum.

So good news for everyone who wishes they were at the cabin but is actually just here in their normal life right now (meeeeee).

This recipe is BOTH a quick weeknight meal and something that you might feel like you’d order at a restaurant. That’s a one-two punch, friends. It’s my favorite thing ever.

Whole wheat linguine noodles cook up in a pot of hot broth for a really extra yummy flavor, and then they get tossed with a generous handful of Parmesan, parsley, and shrimp that has been sautéed in a garlic butter sage white wine bath of delicious. You heard me. You’re tossing the shrimp with the noodles, herbs, and cheese, and pouring a bit of cream over the whole thing to make it almost resemble an Alfredo, except more delicately light and creamy in a way that lets all of the cheese, herbs, garlic, and white wine shine through in each bite.
