Ingredients


Preparation

Put the rigatoni on to boil. Ours was dry and took 12 minutes to al dente. We used frozen shrimp that was cooked and peeled with the tails removed. Defrost shrimp in colander with hot water from faucet and leave in colander.

Sauce: Saut the onions and garlic for about 6 minutes in the olive oil in a large coated frying pan over medium heat. At this point add the cream, basil, oregano, salt and pepper and butter. Cook until the pasta is done and lower heat by half.

Pour the pasta with the hot water into the colander on top of the shrimp in order to heat the shrimp. Drain. Transfer the shrimp and pasta mixture into the pan of sauce and mix. When heated through, start mixing in the freshly grated parmesan cheese, until melted. Transfer to serving dish and add the parsley on top for color. Viola! Add more parmesan and enjoy.

The exact amount of each ingredient is approximate, so use your own judgment. You may also add the salt and pepper (or exclude entirely) after the dish is prepared.

Bit silly to have the wrong dish photo up!

Easy and quick to do. Fresh shrimp always better than frozen and fresh pasta!

Where is the Rigatoni and shrimp, looks to me like its scallops and chopped up sphagetti? Is this the correct picture for this dish?

I didn't have rigatoni on hand so I used capalini. Some nice big scallops took the place of the shrimp and I added a few vegetables for color. But the sauce is the main thing with this dish and it was absolutely terrific.

For people that are allergic to shrimp, substitute it with imitation crab. It's really good!

This recipe was so easy. The kids absolutely loved it. I doubled the recipe and added extra cream and I also used fresh shrimp, which makes such a big difference.

was a big hit with everyone. We used fresh shrimp that we sauted in butter, pepper, and lemon juice, then added it to the sauce once done. We also used a touch more cream. Next time, I would make the sauce a little thicker and use angel hair pasta instead.

I simply loved this because it is so versatile.I added some summer squash, mushrooms and chilie flakes for an extra kick. Very tasty and very easy!
