I created this dish after trying a similar dish (made with crab) at a restaurant. It's wonderful! If you like, you can garnish with additional chopped tomato and chopped green onion. If you have the time, toasting the pine nuts will enhance the flavor.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 1 (12 ounce) package linguine pasta

  • ¼ pound bacon

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

  • 3 roma (plum) tomatoes, seeded and chopped

  • ½ cup chopped green onions

  • 1 cup half-and-half cream

  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

  • ¼ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

  • 1 pound cooked shrimp

  • ¼ cup toasted pine nuts (Optional)

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente; drain.

  2. Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble, and set aside.

  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute garlic, basil, and oregano in oil for 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes and green onions, and saute for 3 minutes. Add bacon, half and half, Parmesan cheese, and Monterey Jack cheese. Cook until cheese is just melted. Stir in shrimp, and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.

  4. Serve sauce over pasta, and sprinkle with pine nuts.
