Ingredients

  • 12 ounces uncooked ziti pasta
  • 1 (6-ounce) package fresh baby spinach
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 (8-ounce) package sliced fresh baby portobello mushrooms
  • 1 large white onion, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic
  • 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine*
  • 6 ounces 1/3-less-fat cream cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 pound peeled cooked medium shrimp, tails removed (about 41 to 50 shrimp)
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Method

  • Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain; return to pan. Stir in spinach; toss until spinach wilts. Set aside.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, and cook, stirring occasionally, 8 minutes or until browned. Add onion, and saute over medium heat 10 minutes or until tender. Add garlic; saute 1 minute.
  • Stir in chicken broth and white wine. Increase heat to medium-high, and cook, stirring often, 8 minutes or until mixture thickens slightly. Reduce heat to medium. Stir in cream cheese and next 3 ingredients until smooth. Add shrimp, and cook until thoroughly heated. Pour shrimp mixture over pasta mixture; toss to combine. Sprinkle evenly with grated Parmesan cheese, and serve immediately.
  • *1/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth may be substituted.
