Silky Shrimp Linguine in Cream Sauce
  1. 1

    Assemble all the ingredients.

  2. 2

    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta in the boiling water, stirring now and then, until tender but still slightly firm, about 12 minutes.

  3. 3

    While the spaghetti cooks, warm the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the garlic until soft but not browned, about 1 minute. Add the shrimp and cook until opaque, about 3 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the wine, lower the heat, and pour in the cream. Let it simmer until the sauce begins to thicken, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the basil and season with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Drain the spaghetti and spoon the creamy shrimp on top. Serve with Parmesan cheese.
