Could I omit the cream in this recipe?

This recipe is really best with the cream in there to get the right texture and consistency. If you wanted a lighter option, you could swap the cream for half and half if you'd prefer.

I have a lot of extra liquid left in my pot after cooking the pasta. What do I do with it?

You can lower the heat on the stove to a simmer until the liquid reduces, but that will continue to cook the pasta more. Otherwise, you could just drain the liquid off.

Can I use any kind of wine here?

Yes! We just recommend a dry white wine.

Instructions

One-Pot Pasta: Heat two tablespoons butter in a large pot over high heat. Add half of the garlic and sauté, stirring constantly, for one minute. Add the broth and water; bring to a boil. Add the pasta and boil until the pasta is cooked. Lower the heat and simmer until most of the liquid is absorbed. Do not drain – there should be some liquid left in the pan to help coat the noodles.
Cook the Shrimp: While the pasta is cooking, heat two tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and saute for 1-2 minutes on each side until the shrimp are almost cooked through.
Build That Garlic Herb Flavor: Add the garlic, sage, and white wine to the shrimp pan. Let the shrimp cook for another 3-5 minutes or until most of the wine has evaporated and the shrimp are lightly browned on the outside. Remove from heat and set aside. Cover so the shrimp stays warm.
Finish: Add the shrimp, whipping cream, Parmesan, and parsley to the cooked pasta. Toss everything together and finish with a squeeze of lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
