Valentine’s Day is one week away. Why not skip the crowded restaurants, light some candles and whip up this simple, delicious meal for two?
Voila! Shrimp and pasta never looked so romantic.

½ lb. frozen shrimp, defrosted
1 tomato, chopped
2 oz. (1/4 of 8-oz. pkg.) cream cheese, cubed
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh basil leaves, divided
4 oz. (1/4 of 1-lb. pkg.) fettuccine, uncooked
2 Tbsp. shredded Parmesan cheese
