Got this one this morning. Looks really good.
Ingredients 1 pound uncooked fettuccine 2 bacon slices (uncooked) 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined 1 garlic clove, minced 1 1/2 cups frozen green peas, thawed 1 cup shredded carrot 2 cups 2% reduced-fat milk 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1 cup (4 ounces) grated Parmesan cheese 1/2 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, divided
Preparation Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain well; keep warm. Cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat 6 minutes or until crisp. Remove bacon from the pan, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings in pan. Crumble bacon; set aside.
Add shrimp and garlic to pan; sauté over medium-high heat 2 minutes. Add peas and carrot; cook 2 minutes or just until shrimp are done. Transfer shrimp mixture to a large bowl; keep warm.
Combine milk, flour, salt, and pepper, stirring with a whisk. Add milk mixture to pan; cook over medium heat 3 minutes or until thickened and bubbly, stirring constantly with a whisk. Remove pan from heat; add cheese, stirring until blended. Add milk mixture to shrimp mixture; stir until combined. Add pasta and 1/4 cup parsley, tossing gently to coat. Transfer pasta mixture to a platter, or divide evenly among each of 8 plates; sprinkle evenly with remaining 1/4 cup parsley and crumbled bacon. Serve immediately.
