You'll love my twist on this creamy alfredo. It's a little heavy on the hips, but worth every bite. A perfect match with a nice green salad, and you must have garlic bread to sop up this creamy sauce. It was so delicious everyone loved it. I definitely will cook it again! Great flavor, you can also substitute sausage for shrimp!

Ingredients

parsley (for garnish, optional)
ground paprika
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 cups heavy cream
1/3 cup white wine
1 clove garlic
1 small onion
2 tbsp. butter
3 tbsp. olive oil
12 oz. penne pasta
1 pound shrimp
1 pound boneless chicken breasts

Method

01

Cook the penne pasta according to package directions and drain. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
02

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet, cover with foil, and set aside.
03

Lightly season the shrimp with salt, pepper, and paprika. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same skillet and cook the shrimp in one layer, for 1-2 minutes per side until no longer translucent and fully cooked. Don't overcook it. Remove to a bowl and cover with foil.
04

In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until golden. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Pour in the wine and reduce by half scraping the bottom to deglaze the pan.
05

Add the cream and simmer for 2 minutes more. Sprinkle with the parmesan cheese and stir until smooth. Turn off the heat. Season with paprika, salt, and pepper to taste.
06

Add the cooked pasta, shrimp and chicken, and toss everything together. Garnish with parsley, if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy!
