Let me just get the obvious out of the way because I know what you’re thinking: what am I doing here? Shouldn’t I be packing for our move, which is less than 24 hours from now? These are all valid questions, but you see, there is history here, a long history of kitchen-related procrastination. Two days before our last move, I sheeted pasta and peeled favas. I spent the last week of my pregnancy stocking the freezer with foods to bribe charm labor and delivery nurses with. When I was done with that, I made a cake for people coming to visit the new baby.

I dare you not to twirl your fork into this simple summer pasta dish! Once your pasta pot is at a rolling boil, you’re about 10 minutes away from noodly bliss. A generous serving of succulent shrimp and linguini are tossed with a super quick tomato cream sauce — one that’s fragrant with aromatic garlic, shallots, and white wine. Seriously. What’s not to like?
