This is the BEST semi-homemade sauce I've ever made!! It has so much flavor and blends together so nicely! This could easily be made into a wonderful vegetarian pasta dish by omitting chicken and adding more veggies of your choice. This cheesy but light dish will quickly become your favorite too!

SPICY SHRIMP FETTUCCINE ALFREDO



Spicy Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo image

I make this spicy shrimp pasta a lot because it's a something my family never seems to get tired of. The sauce is so fast to make I can get it done while the fettuccine is cooking. In the past, I have added red peppers and spinach, but who's to say you could not add mushrooms or more or less spice. -Stephanie Beluk, Sharpsburg, Georgia
