Ingredients

  • 250 g pasta (of your choice)
  • 400 g tomatoes (canned or fresh)
  • 300 g shrimp (peeled)
  • 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 200 g tomato sauce
  • 150 g cream cheese
  • 200 ml milk
  • 200 ml water
  • 150 g grated cheese (to taste)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Chop the onion, mince the garlic, and prepare the shrimp.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat with a little oil, sauté the onion until translucent, then add the garlic and cook another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the pasta and tomatoes to the skillet and mix well so the pasta is coated in the tomato juices.
  4. Pour in the tomato sauce, milk, and water, stir thoroughly, and bring to a boil.
  5. Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Add the cream cheese and stir until it dissolves completely into the sauce.
  7. Stir in the shrimp and cook for another 5-10 minutes, until the pasta is tender and the shrimp are cooked through.
  8. Add the grated cheese and stir until melted; if the sauce is too thick, loosen it with a little more water or milk.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs or extra grated cheese if desired.

This is a whole dinner built in one pan: the pasta cooks right in a tomato-and-milk base, so it absorbs the sauce instead of being drained and tossed. Cream cheese melts in for a velvety finish while the shrimp poach gently in the last few minutes, keeping them tender.

Tips: Because the pasta simmers in the liquid, keep an eye on it and add a splash of water or milk if the sauce tightens before the noodles are done. Stir the cream cheese in off a hard boil so it emulsifies smoothly rather than splitting.
