Instructions

1. Cook the linguine in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain, rinse briefly, and reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water. Set the pasta aside.
2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add half the garlic and sauté 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the onion and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and fry until golden brown. Pour in 2 tablespoons of water, then transfer the mushrooms and onion to a plate.
3. In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil. Add the rest of the garlic and sauté briefly. Add the shrimp and cook until they start to turn pink, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Add the red pepper flakes, paprika and a pinch of salt, and stir to coat. Return the mushrooms and onion to the pan, stir for another minute, then move everything to a plate.
4. In the same skillet over medium-low heat, add the cream cheese and milk. Stir constantly until the cream cheese melts and the sauce is smooth, then simmer gently a few minutes until slightly thickened.
5. Stir in the Parmesan and mozzarella until fully melted. Taste and add salt if needed.
6. Return the shrimp and mushroom mixture to the pan with the cooked pasta. Toss over low heat for about 2 minutes. Gradually add the reserved pasta water, a little at a time, until the sauce reaches the desired consistency. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
