Erin's Easy Shrimp Linguine

This is a super quick and easy weeknight recipe. However, you need to stay at the stove to stir the sauce, so wait until your husband is home so that you don't have to run after the baby!


1 box whole wheat linguine
2 tbsp margarine
2 tbsp flour
3 cups skim milk
1/2 c light parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 frozen shrimp ring (cooked)and thawed
1/2 c frozen peas

Cook pasta according to directions. Drain and put back into pot. In a small saucepan, melt margarine. Add flour, cooking for 30 sec or so. Add milk, stirring to dissolve the flour mixture. Keep stirring over medium heat until it coats the back of a wooden spoon. Add in the parmesan cheese, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Stir to combine. Add the sauce, shrimp and peas to the hot pasta (this will heat up the shrimp and cook the peas). Makes 4 servings
