Ingredients
  

8 oz fettuccine or linguine pasta

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup vegetable or chicken broth

1 cup sparkling apple cider (for a non-alcoholic twist)

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a cup of pasta water.

    Sauté the Shrimp: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once heated, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then, add the shrimp and cook for 3-4 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

      Create the Sauce: In the same skillet, pour in the vegetable or chicken broth and sparkling apple cider. Bring to a simmer and let it reduce for about 5 minutes.

        Add Cream and Tomatoes: Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and halved cherry tomatoes. Allow the mixture to simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens slightly.

          Combine Pasta and Shrimp: Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, along with the shrimp. Toss everything together, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time to achieve desired creamy consistency. Sprinkle in Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and well-combined.

            Final Touches: Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

              Serve: Plate the pasta and garnish with fresh basil or parsley for color and freshness.
