Ingredients
- 8 oz linguine pasta
- 1 lb shrimp peeled and deveined
- 2 leeks sliced
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup low fat milk
- 1 tbsp flour
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup sweet peas frozen
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 3 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they're tender and lightly caramelized. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the leeks and garlic, and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually pour in 1 cup of milk, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens to your liking.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they're pink and cooked through, about 2-5 minutes, then add sweet peas and continue to cook for a minute or so.
- Add the cooked linguine pasta to the skillet, tossing everything together until well combined. If the sauce seems too thick, add a little more milk. If it's too thin, add a little more flour.
- Season the pasta with salt and pepper to taste, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Serve hot.
