This pasta! I tested this recipe out quite a few times, making small tweaks to perfect it, and enjoyed all of it probably more than I should have. There’s just something about butter + garlic + carbs that makes my tummy so so very happy. Especially at this time of the year where I just want to feel cozy and warm. Basically just give me all the butter covered pasta and I’ll make it through winter.

Instructions

Cook pasta according to directions until done. If you don't already do so, I recommend salting the water and pouring in a bit of olive oil as well. Once done, drain and set aside.

In a large skillet, melt two tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. Once just completely melted, add in the thyme, garlic, red pepper flakes, and shrimp. Toss to coat the shrimp completely and cook for 4-5 minutes or until shrimp is warm. Set the shrimp aside in a bowl.

Using the same skillet, add in the remaining 6 tablespoons of butter and melt. Once just melted through completely, add in the cooked pasta, parsley, peas, and parmesan. Stir completely and cook over medium heat for about 3 minutes. Stir frequently.

The shrimp can either be stirred into the pasta or simple placed on top of the pasta once dished up.

Serve with a bit of fresh parsley and cheese and enjoy!
