How to Make Seashells Pasta With Spicy Alfredo Sauce
- Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Add 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 cup of heavy cream, 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes (or more, to taste), and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 2 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
- Stir in 1 1/2 cups of grated Parmesan cheese and continue to simmer for another 6 minutes, or until the sauce has reached your desired thickness. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
- Cook 1 pound of seashell pasta according to package directions. Drain and add to the sauce.
- Toss to coat the pasta evenly. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley (optional). Add cooked seafood, mushrooms, or other desired ingredients during the last minute of cooking.
