Roasted Garlic, Brown Butter and Parmesan Pasta (in 15 Minutes)

May 3, 2012 by Tiffany King 12 Comments

You know how I love a 15 minute meal. Sometimes that’s all I have to pull dinner together. Such was the case the night I made this, but the inspiration for the dish had come a few months before.

When I went to Nashville for Blissdom, a group of us had dinner together the first night. Tricia from Once a Month Mom was our ring leader and she took us downtown to Demo’s Restaurant.

Food photography faults aside, this dish was wonderful! I based it off of a recipe for Chipotle Shrimp Scampi, from my friend Joyce’s new recipe blog. (Her photo is better than mine.) One of my kids doesn’t like shrimp, so I decided to use the grilled chicken I had sliced and frozen. Since I was using meat that was already cooked, I didn’t need to use the chipotle rub that the original recipe called for. I used the sauce from chipotle peppers in adobo sauce that I had stored in the freezer.

Best of all, it is quick to fix.
