Cheesy Shrimp with Fresh Garlic Pasta

Ingredients:

1.5 cups all purpose flour

2 eggs

1 TBSP EVOO

4 cloves roasted garlic, mashed

Dash salt

2 TBSP EVOO

Dash garlic powder

Dash onion powder

2 dozen shrimp, peeled & deveined

1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese (at least)

Instructions:

Spread parchment paper on your work surface and put the flour on top. Make a hole in the center of the flour. Crack the eggs into the hole and add the 1 TBSP EVOO, roasted garlic and dash of salt. Using a fork, beat the egg mixture together gently, and begin to incorporate the flour into the mixture. When enough flour has been incorporated that things are starting to really stick together, use your hands to begin kneading the dough. Be sure to really stretch and roll the dough with the palms of your hands. When dough is completely formed, wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest for 1 hour. Using a pasta machine, create spaghetti (or your favorite type of noodle).

Bring a salted pot of water to a boil, add the noodles and cook until al dente.

Heat the 2 TBSP EVOO in a saucepan over low heat. Add the garlic and onion powders, and stir to combine. Add the shrimp and cook until the shrimp turns pink. Add the pasta and cheese to the pan and toss to combine the flavors.

Top with another sprinkling of parmesan, and serve immediately.

Makes 2 servings.
