INGREDIENTS

• 2 large bulbs garlic
• 12 ounces fresh or frozen shrimp, peeled and deveined - if frozen, thaw them
• 8 ounces dried plain and/or spinach linguine or fettuccine
• 2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
• 1 medium yellow or green sweet pepper, chopped
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 tablespoon snipped fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 1/2 teaspoons snipped fresh oregano or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed
• 1/2 teaspoon instant chicken bouillon granules
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 medium tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped
• 1/4 cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese

DIRECTIONS

• Preheat oven to 375°F. For garlic paste, cut 1/2 inch off the pointed top portions of garlic bulbs. Remove the outer papery layers of the garlic. Place both bulbs on a square piece of foil. Bring edges of foil together to form a pouch; seal. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until garlic is very soft. When cool enough to handle, use your fingers to press garlic pulp from each clove. Mash pulp with a spoon or fork to make a smooth paste. Set aside.
• Cook pasta according to package directions; drain. Return pasta to saucepan; cover and keep warm.
• In a large saucepan cook mushrooms and sweet pepper in hot olive oil until sweet pepper is tender. In a small bowl stir together the garlic paste, water, basil, cornstarch, oregano, bouillon granules, and black pepper. Add to mushroom mixture. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly.
• Add the shrimp to mushroom mixture. Simmer, covered, about 2 minutes or until shrimp turn opaque. Stir in tomatoes; heat through. To serve, pour the shrimp mixture over cooked pasta. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese; toss gently to combine. Makes 4 servings.
