Oh fall, how do I love thee?? So many ways to count!

First off, the weather here at the beach this fall has been beyond fabulous. We’ve been enjoying beautiful sunny days, gorgeous blue skies and comfortable temperatures for pretty much all of September and October. A rainy day here or there, but Mother Nature has really been good to us.

Second, comfort food season! And boy, oh boy, have we been enjoying all the stick to your bones, cozy up to the fire kinda comfort food.

How about you guys? What’s been on your menu? More soups perhaps? Chilis? Pasta?

 Shrimp Pasta with Garlic Cream Sauce Tomatoes and Spinach

We enjoy comfort food dishes all year long actually, but definitely more so during the fall and winter months. For some reason, I don’t feel as guilty enjoying them during the colder months.

Today’s idea for Shrimp Pasta with Garlic Cream Sauce, Tomatoes and Spinach is coming to you all courtesy of my son Sean. Sean texts me photos every now and then of things he’s whipped up for himself for dinner and most of the time he’s got me drooling.

He made a pasta with a garlic cream sauce a few weeks back that looked incredible. I knew I’d have to share. I decided to add some shrimp, fresh grape tomatoes and spinach to make it more of a hearty meal. I also used a little blackening spice for the shrimp when I sauteed them to give the dish extra flavor.

You’re going to love how smooth and creamy the garlic cream sauce is, as well as the full on garlic flavor. And you can always use the sauce, but change up the other ingredients to your liking. Add chicken instead of shrimp, or maybe salmon or sausage. Change up the veggies to what you prefer if spinach and tomatoes aren’t your thing. The possibilities are endless.

I don’t know about you, but I can always use another quick and easy pasta sauce and recipe in my arsenal for comfort food season. I guarantee this is going to be one of your go-to sauces. It’s that easy and that good.

Time to break out the stretchy pants! Enjoy!

A Few Cook’s Notes for Shrimp Pasta with Garlic Cream Sauce, Tomatoes and Spinach Recipe:

I used grape tomatoes, which I halved, but you could also use a can of diced tomatoes, drained.

I love the added spinach, but if you’re not a fan, you can just omit, or maybe add another veggie. Broccoli would be delicious. I’d cut the broccoli into small florets and steam until just tender before adding to the pasta.

I used cavatelli pasta for this recipe because I like how some of the sauce gets into the crevices of the pasta.

      Just a bit spicy. It’s a combination of onion and garlic powders, salt pepper, a smigde of cayenne, thyme, oregano and paprika. We love it!

    Loved this recipe!! Tried it with broccoli and fire roasted tomatoes. Excellent! Wondering if you think sausage would also be good in place of shrimp?
