I started this blog so my daughters could find all of our family favourite recipes in one place. It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!

Rigatoni Shrimp Florentine

This delicious shrimp florentine pasta doesn't use heavy cream so it's a much lighter version of the classic dish.

Ingredients:

8 oz rigatoni pasta

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp butter

12 oz shrimp

2 tbsps finely diced onion

1 tsp dry basil

2 tsps dry parsley

2.5 oz chicken broth

1 cup tomato sauce

4.5 oz baby spinach leaves

1 cup 10% cream

1/3 cup parmesan cheese

salt and pepper to taste

2 tsps cornstarch

2 tsps water

Cook the rigatoni to al dente then drain. While the pasta cooks heat olive oil and butter to medium heat in a large skillet and cook the onion for 2 minutes. Then add the shrimp, basil and parsley cooking 2-3 minutes, flipping shrimp halfway through. Add the broth and spinach and cook 2 minutes before adding the tomato sauce and cream. Whisk the cornstarch and water together then whisk into the pan and cook 2-3 minutes to slightly thicken. Finally add the pasta to the skillet, toss to coat with sauce and add the parmesan, salt and pepper. Heat through 3-4 minutes. Serves 2-3
