For a richer flavor, use half-and-half or crème fraîche instead of heavy cream. Feel free to add other vegetables such as asparagus, peas, or zucchini. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end brightens the flavors.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
12 mins
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add spaghetti and cook until al dente, about 12 minutes. Drain, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water. (12 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. (5.5 minutes)
03
Step
5 mins
Stir in mushrooms and bell pepper and cook until the mushrooms are lightly browned and the bell pepper is tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. (5 minutes)
04
Step
4 mins
Add shrimp, white wine, and oregano to the skillet. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, about 3-5 minutes. (4 minutes)
05
Step
8 mins
Stir in heavy cream and butter. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 8 minutes. (8 minutes)
06
StepAdd the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
07
StepIf the sauce is not thick enough, whisk the flour with a tablespoon of cold water to form a slurry, then whisk the slurry into the sauce and simmer for another minute or two until thickened.
08
StepSeason with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with Parmesan cheese and fresh basil before serving.
