Creamy Seafood Pasta

Creamy Seafood Pasta

Pasta is such a comfort food for me.  Add a creamy sauce and I am in heaven.  I usually whip up one of my favorite pasta dinners once a week.  Chicken Enchilada Pasta is my all time favorite to make when I am having guests.  But this Creamy Seafood pasta is getting added to my list of favorites! Do you have a go-to recipe for dinner guests?

Don’t be fooled by the long looking list of ingredients.  This meal is easy to put together and most of the ingredients are staples that you probably already have in the kitchen.

This dinner took me 35 minutes total….I count that as a dinner time WIN!  Feel free to half the recipe if you need but this is really wonderful reheated.  It would also be a great recipe to take half of it to a friend.  Who doesn’t appreciate a hot dinner delivered?!

If you don’t care for seafood, just sub in chicken or pork.  Or add some sautéed summer veggies and make it a meat free dinner.

Enjoy!
