Balsamic Marinated Shrimp With Linguini

• 12 cup balsamic vinaigrette
• 1 lb shrimp, peeled, deveined
• 4 medium tomatoes, chopped (about 2 cups)
• 12 cup basil leaves, chopped
• 4 ounces low-fat cream cheese, cubed
• 34 lb fettuccine
• 14 cup parmesan cheese or 14 cup romano cheese or 14 cup asiago cheese, shredded

1. Toss dressing over shrimp in small bowl; cover.
2. Refrigerate 20 minutes to marinate.
3. Remove shrimp from marinade and pour off excess liquid.
4. In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook linguini until al dente, about 7 minutes.
5. Heat large skillet on medium heat; add shrimp.
6. Cook 3 minutes or until shrimp turn pink, stirring frequently.
7. Remove shrimp from skillet and cover to keep warm.
8. Add tomatoes and half of the basil to same skillet; cook and stir 3 minutes.
9. Stir in cream cheese until well blended.
10. Add shrimp; cook until heated through, stirring occasionally.
11. *Note: I kept 3-4 ladles of the salted pasta water aside, before I drained the linguini, in case the pasta sauce became thick (just to help coat the linguini evenly).
12. In a large serving dish, toss the hot fettuccine with the shrimp and sauce mixture.
13. Sprinkle with the remaining chopped basil and shredded cheese.
