- Add the pasta to the sauce and stir to coat, stirring in enough of the reserved cooking water to loosen the sauce. Divide among bowls; top with the parsley and celery leaves.

FETTUCCINE WITH MUSHROOMS AND CHERRY TOMATOES
While sifting through my recipe clippings, I came across this yummy dish I had not made in years. It has a rich, but not heavy, creamy sauce chock full of tasty things I almost always have on hand : cream cheese, ham, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms. The sauce is rather thin in consistency, if you prefer a thicker sauce you may either add more Parmesan cheese or let it sit and thicken off the heat a bit as the pasta cooks.

Tips:
- Prep before you start: Before you begin cooking, make sure to have all of your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
- Choose the right shrimp: For this recipe, medium or large shrimp are best. Look for shrimp that are fresh and have a firm texture.
- Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Cook the shrimp until it is pink and opaque, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Use a good quality white wine: The white wine used in this recipe should be dry and crisp. A Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio would be a good choice.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the shrimp, mussels, and tomatoes, do not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the food from cooking evenly.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
Fettuccine with shrimp, mussels, and cherry tomatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish. It is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With its combination of flavors and textures, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
