Ingredients:

• 2oz uncooked spaghetti

• 1 baby portobello mushroom (sliced)

Directions:

 1. Take the 2oz of uncooked spaghetti and place in boiling water and cook till done (approx 7 min)



  2. Slice up one baby portobello mushroom and slice 3 grape tomatoes in half




3. In a small saucepan, pour in a small amount of olive oil and wait until hot.  At that time, add 5 of the 31/40 shrimp to the hot pan.




4. Sear the shrimp on both sides until shrimp is fully cooked.




5. At this time, add both mushrooms and tomatoes to the pan with the shrimp and cook briefly.




6. At this time, in a separate bowl, add enough water to the 1/4 cup of Low Fat Ricotta Cheese to make it a thin sauce.  Remove shrimp, mushrooms and tomato mixture from heat and add the ricotta cheese mixture.

7. Immediately add the spaghetti to the mixture and cook until thoroughly heated (will not take long).  Finally, add 1 Tbsp of Parmesan cheese to the top and garnish the top with chives to complete this mouth watering and healthy pasta dish!
