Steps:
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettucine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp and garlic; cook and stir until shrimp turn pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Add remaining butter to the skillet and let melt. Stir in cream cheese and garlic powder until smooth, about 2 minutes. Stir in milk and Parmesan cheese until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth, about 2 minutes more. Season with pepper.
- Fold pesto into the cream sauce. Drain fettuccine and toss with sauce.

PESTO ALFREDO SAUCE
Pesto or Alfredo? The summery perfection of basil in olive oil or creamy, cheesy, richness? How about both? This simple recipe came about when I didn't have enough of either sauce to coat a big pan of pasta for a potluck dinner. Its a great change from the usual pasta in marinara and, while simple enough for a family meal, is special enough for guests. Its particularly good for potlucks because you KNOW that there are going to be 3-4 pans of pasta in assorted tomato sauces already. ;)

Steps:
- Heat cream cheese, milk (or milk and cream), and garlic together in a small saucepan. Bring just barely to boiling.
- Reduce heat and simmer, stirring frequently, until cream cheese is fully melted into the milk.
- Stir in the pesto and reheat to just barely boiling again.
- Stir in Parmesan and simmer a few moments until the sauce begins to thicken.
- Remove from heat and serve over any pasta.
- Note on Pesto: Best made with a pure basil pesto rather than a basil-and-spinach pesto. Homemade or commercial is fine.
- Note on Parmesan: I freeze my homemade pesto without the cheese so I use the full 3/4 cup. If your pesto has a generous amount of cheese you will not need as much. Not that plenty of Parmesan is a bad thing. :D.
- If you toss this together with pasta, chunks of cooked chicken, and broccoli florets then spread it in a baking pan with plenty of shredded Mozzarella on top you get a terrific casserole.

Steps:
- Finely chop basil, pine nuts and garlic in processor.
- Gradually add olive oil through feed tube and process until smooth; mix in ½ cup Parmesan.
- Transfer to a small jar (can be made up to 4 days ahead - make on the weekend to enjoy a quick, mid-week meal. Pour enough olive oil on surface of pesto to inhibit exposure to air).
- Bring cream to boil in medium saucepan; whisk in pesto.
- Season to taste.
- Combine pasta, sauce and remaining 3/4 cup Parmesan in large bowl.
- Toss to coat evenly and serve sprinkled with some minced basil.
- Note: If you want this 'saucier' you can add a little milk to wet the pasta.
