Ingredients

  • 6 oz. uncooked linguine
  • 1/4 cup pasta water
  • 1 lb. shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup spinach
  • 1/2 cup fat-free half and half
  • 2 oz. Boursin garilc and herb cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  • Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Reserve about 1/4 cup of the pasta water, then drain the pasta and set it aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
  • Stir in the fat-free half and half and Boursin cheese. Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir until the cheese melts into a creamy sauce.
  • Next, stir in the Parmesan cheese. Add the spinach and cook until wilted.
  • Combine everything - add the cooked pasta and shrimp. Toss everything evenly together until coated in the sauce.
  • If needed, add a little reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce.
