Easy Creamy Shrimp Linguine Carbonara

Carbonara is one of the most popular pasta dishes in Italy. Most of  Carbonara recipe consists of basic ingredients such as cream, cheese, bacon/seafood/chicken, and egg. Variety demand of pasta increase worldwide, that's why some of international cuisine enhanced the taste and ingredients to make it more tempting to their patrons, some make it more creamier and tasteful to the best of their winning dish.

I used shrimp and beef as the main ingredients,  (I didn't used eggs co'z my daughters are allergic to eggs). I also add creamy mushroom soup as I thought it would be correlate to the eggs. I want to make it more creamier and sweet so I added condensed milk.

Ingredients  

(just basic ingredients that I found in my kitchen)

•  1 cup cream (heavy cream)
• 500 grams of Pasta (Linguine )
• 1 sachet 58 grams creamy mushroom soup

My way to cook.

Pasta-

• Cook the Pasta in a large soup pot of boiling water, add a pinch of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of oil and just follow the instruction directed on the package. Cook the pasta until it becomes tender but still be firm to the bite. Then drain.

Sauce-

• First dilute one sachet of creamy mushroom soup on 1 cup of water. Set aside. 

• Saute garlic and onion in 1 tsp margarine, add the minced beef, cooked the beef until becomes brown then add the diluted mushroom soup.

• Next, add the mushroom and shrimp, cook and stir on medium heat at 5-7 minutes or until the shrimp turns orange. Add salt and pepper to taste.

• Add the pasta to the mixture of shrimp, beef, mushroom and the creamy soup, mix lightly, then add the heavy cream and condensed milk, mixed it completely.

• Serve it right away, with grated cheese to make it truly delightful and cheesy.
