Mediterranean Fettuccine With Shrimp and Spinach

"I got this off the back of some store-brand fettucine noodles and gave it a try. Dh said to make sure I kept the recipe! It is very rich and I usually decrease the salt and dried basil to help that a bit, and I thinned it down just a bit with milk, but otherwise it's a fancy-looking dish with very little effort."

  1. This was a great dish! I served it at my book club luncheon and no one believed I made it - they thought I had ordered takeout!! No one would leave until I gave them the recipe. I did made a few changes tho, I used basil-tomato feta cheese, added parmesan cheese and scallions and lots of red pepper flakes.
     
  2. This made a delicious dinner for us tonight. I did substitute drained plain yogurt for the sour cream and fresh spinach for frozen, and added 2 tomatoes I wanted to use up. I also cut back on the salt because my feta cheese was very salty. This went together so quickly that dinner was ready almost half an hour early! Thank you, winkki, for an excellent recipe. I'll definitely make it again.
     
  3. Very nice recipe. I used spaghetti instead of the fettuccine. Personal preference. :)
     
  4. Good and easy! I was unsure if you needed to squeeze the water out of the spinach but did it anyway. IMO, the feta makes this dish. Changes-used pre cooked shrimp. Sauteed with garlic for 1-2 minutes then threw them in the mixture. I also increased the garlic. Next time I will decrease the sour cream and bump up the red pepper flakes(alot).
     
  5. Very Good. Very Easy!

  2. This pasta dish is sooooo wonderful! The flavors of the feta, basil, shrimp and spinach all blend so well. I did have to sub spaghetti instead of the fettucine. (I swear that there was fettucine in my pantry last time I looked!) I also omitted the salt and used fresh basil. I served this with a tomato and cucumber salad and Just Cher's Artichoke Bread (recipe #33776). Mmmm. Hubby and I thought we had died and gone to heaven. This is one of my all time favorite pasta dishes. And, the best part? I usually have everything on hand except the feta. One little addition to my grocery list and we are set! Thanks for posting.
