UNBELIEVABLY CREAMY GARLIC & GREEN OLIVE PASTA
Recipes are an illusion. Gourmet Cooking doubly so. At least that's my story for now. There are no amounts for this recipe, thus the illusion. Quantities are constantly in flux when I prepare this for my family, depending on how much garlic I have, how many olives I feel like chopping, whether I remembered to buy Parmesan cheese yesterday, and what shoes I'm wearing. Not too long after we married, my husband and I really got into watching "The Frugal Gourmet" on PBS. On one of the first shows we watched, Jeff Smith prepared this dish. I practically freaked out trying to write this down, since I had not yet learned my laid-back, pinch o' this, handful o' that way of cooking. He was just tossing things in the pan! How can you COOK like that? (Just fine, thankyouverymuch) At that time I was trying to make myself into a gourmet cook, so I bought the whole green olives and pitted them myself. I bought the wedge of Parmigiano-Reggiano that played havoc with the week's grocery money, grating it over the top, with my own freshly Band-Aid-ed fingers, just before serving. I got over it. Nowadays, I just have fun in the kitchen, and we manage to eat pretty well, gourmet cook or no. So, here it is, the way I make it now. More or less.

Steps:
- Put on a big pot of water to boil.
- Pick out your pasta, cook it al dente and keep it hot You can use spaghetti, capellini, vermicelli, or linguini, whatever you prefer.
- After you've made this once, and you know how long it takes for you to make the sauce, you make everything come up ready at the same time.
- Get some green olives.
- Any kind you want, really.
- I just get a bottle of cheap salad olives.
- There are usually a lot of pimento pieces floating around in there.
- We like the color, but I'm afraid the ol' Frugal Gourmet would NOT approve.
- You can get a bit fancier if you want.
- Chop up the olives a bit, not tiny.
- Next the garlic.
- OK, you HAVE to use fresh for this, no powder, not even the jar of pre-chopped.
- Those are okay for some things, and I do use them often.
- However, if you use anything other than fresh garlic in this recipe, you will not be impressed, and you will never make this again.
- I will weep.
- Don't do that to me.
- Take your fresh garlic clove, wrap it in that flat rubber disc you use to open jars.
- Just roll it up in there, then roll it back and forth on the countertop a few times.
- Unwrap it, and the peel should be off or mostly off.
- Do this with lots of garlic cloves.
- LOTS.
- At least a couple per person you're feeding.
- Slice the garlic, but not too thinly.
- In a hot non-stick sauté pan, put a little olive oil, the fresh sliced garlic and a lot of chopped green olives.
- Be generous.
- A handful per person is a good start.
- Sauté the garlic and olives just a bit, being careful not to let the garlic brown, or it may become bitter.
- Add some light cream, and bring to a simmer.
- Cook over low heat until the liquid has been reduced by almost half, and it is thick, stirring very often.
- Pour this over the hot pasta, sprinkle generously with parmesan, chopped parsley (fresh is best, but I usually only have dried) and black pepper, preferably fresh from the pepper mill.
- Toss.
- Serve immediately.
- Bow.
- But be humble.

Steps:
- 1. cook pasta and drain set aside. peel and clean shrimp season with sazon and adobo and paprika then add butter or pan spray to a sauce pan and lightly cook shrimp then add garlic and bacon(optional)let garlic cook for 2 min.
- 2. add milk cheddar,provolone,swiss,and 1 tablsp of parmesan.stir untill cheese is melted. add sour cream and cooking cream (optional) cook untill sauce starts to thicken about 3-4 min then fold in pasta serve with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese
Tips:
- Choose the right pasta: Short, sturdy pastas like penne, rotini, or shells are ideal for this recipe, as they can hold the creamy sauce well.
- Use fresh garlic: Fresh garlic has a more pungent flavor than garlic powder, so it's best to use it in this recipe. If you don't have fresh garlic, you can use ½ teaspoon of garlic powder instead.
- Don't overcook the pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package directions, but be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and won't hold the sauce as well.
- Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the sauce. Use a hard cheese like Parmesan or Asiago for a sharp, nutty flavor, or a soft cheese like mozzarella or fontina for a creamy, gooey sauce.
- Add some vegetables: If you want to add some vegetables to your pasta, you can sauté some broccoli, zucchini, or spinach in a little olive oil before adding the sauce. This will add some extra nutrients and flavor to the dish.
Conclusion:
This creamy garlic pasta is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken or shrimp. With its simple ingredients and delicious flavor, this pasta is sure to become a family favorite.
