"Want a shortcut with more flavors? Try our PASTA MAGIE seasoning in this recipe! Cream with pasta usually raises an Italian’s eyebrows in disdain but honestly, this dish is so tasty, easy, and comforting that they don’t need to know. Leave out the shrimp for a vegetarian take, or replace the shrimp with simple pan-seared chicken breast. Use fettucine for the more classic version."
