I got this off the back of some store-brand fettucine noodles and gave it a try. Dh said to make sure I kept the recipe! It is very rich and I usually decrease the salt and dried basil to help that a bit, and I thinned it down just a bit with milk, but otherwise it's a fancy-looking dish with very little effort.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon salt
3 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
2 teaspoons dried basil, crushed
8 ounces fettuccine pasta, uncooked
1 (10 ounce) package frozen spinach, thawed
12 ounces medium shrimp (uncooked, peeled, & deveined)

Directions

1
Combine sour cream, feta, red pepper, salt, garlic, and basil.
2
Set aside.
3
Cook fettucine according to pkg directions, but after first 8 minutes, add spinach and shrimp to boiling water/pasta.
4
Boil 2 more minutes.
5
Drain thoroughly.
6
Add hot pasta/shrimp mixture to sour cream mixture; toss lightly.
7
Serve immediately.

Good and easy! I was unsure if you needed to squeeze the water out of the spinach but did it anyway. IMO, the feta makes this dish. Changes-used pre cooked shrimp. Sauteed with garlic for 1-2 minutes then threw them in the mixture. I also increased the garlic. Next time I will decrease the sour cream and bump up the red pepper flakes(alot).

This dish is amazing! I took some liberties for dietary reasons. I used low fat cream cheese, low fat feta and Dreamfield's pasta. I added mushrooms by sauteing them, some fresh spinach and the shrimp together rather than adding to the boiling water. I also used fresh basil rather than dried. We just loved this and plan on making it again. I think with my method of cooing chicken would work well too and I plan on trying that soon.

Very easy, light and enjoyable meal! I used frozen shrimp and fresh spinach, because that's what I had. I used light sour cream and reduced fat feta cheese. You can increase the red pepper flakes for a little more "zip". We enjoyed this with sliced fresh tomatoes. Thanks, Carole in Orlando
