Ingredients
  

12 ounces linguine pasta

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup fresh spinach

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil for garnish

Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Cook the Linguine: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.

    Sauté the Shrimp: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

      Create the Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.

        Finish the Sauce: Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir until well combined and the sauce begins to thicken (about 2-3 minutes).

          Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet along with the spinach. Stir until the spinach wilts and everything is coated in the creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency.

            Toss with Linguine: Add the drained linguine to the sauce mixture. Toss gently to combine, ensuring the pasta is well coated with the creamy sauce.

              Serve: Plate the creamy Tuscan shrimp linguine, garnishing with fresh basil and a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve immediately for the best flavor.
