Shrimp Pasta

I did take pictures this time. Here is the update with pictures. It was so quick and semi-homemade I was impressed by me, lol.


Ingredients

Ragu home-style alfredo sauce
2 teaspoons of finely chopped garlic
olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
any size shrimp 1lb peeled ready to eat
linguini pasta
1/2 cup grape tomatoes halved
1 bunch baby spinach ( add more if you like)
pepper to taste.

1. cook pasta according to directions and serving you will need. I used the whole box since I made this for 5!
2. in a sauté pan add your butter with just a little olive oil. The olive oil keeps the butter from browning too quickly have your heat on med-high. To your heated butter/oil add your garlic and then your shrimp. cook for about 5 minutes just long enough for the garlic and butter flavor the shrimp. Now add your tomatoes and spinach. cook until wilted.
3. add your jar of alfredo sauce and stir until the butter and olive oil blend in.
4. as it warms through add pepper to taste.
5. once it warms through drain pasta and add the sauce to the pasta and mix through. Its ready to serve.


Enjoy.

            It sounds odd and probably unappealing, but it is actually great tasting. You can make your own or buy it already prepared powdered to which you just add to water. Its cheaper like most things to make it yourself and you know what is going into it, bonus. This "milk" contains protein, fiber and antioxidants and amino acids. All of these things are great for your body especially when working out. Alpiste offers as much as 10g of protein per serving , which is about 1/2 cup.

Almost that Time of the Year! When the yarn Comes out...

Image
    I have been waiting all summer for the right time to start playing with my yarn. Last fall/winter and part of the spring I was a pretty busy bee on my Ultimate Sweater Machine. If you don't know what it is , it is a home hobby knitting machine. It is easy to assemble and does not need electricity, you put in the muscle. I make some great beanies on it. I can honestly say I have mastered the striped beanie pattern in the book and was comfortable enough to make my own alterations to the pattern. Here are some of the things I was able to do on this machine. These are just a few of what I did on the machine. If you would like a tutorial on how I make them please let me know in the comments. Thanks again and have a great evening. Sandy
