Cooking Steps
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. • Finely chop sun-dried tomatoes. Peel and mince or grate garlic. Halve grape tomatoes lengthwise; place in a small bowl and toss with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pick parsley leaves from stems; finely chop leaves.
• Once water is boiling, add spaghetti to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes. • Reserve 1⁄3 cup pasta cooking water (½ cup for 4 servings), then drain.
• While pasta cooks, heat a large, dry pan over medium-high heat. Add almonds and cook, stirring often, until fragrant and lightly browned, 2-4 minutes. • Turn off heat; transfer to a second small bowl. Wipe out pan.
Rinse shrimp under cold water. Pat shrimp or chicken dry with paper towels. Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for almonds over medium-high heat. Add shrimp or chicken; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, 3-4 minutes for shrimp or 4-6 minutes for chicken. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.
• Heat a drizzle of olive oil in pan used for almonds over medium heat. Add sundried tomatoes and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. • Stir in stock concentrate and 1⁄3 cup plain water (½ cup for 4 servings). Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes. • Reduce heat to low and whisk in cream cheese until fully incorporated.
• Stir grape tomatoes into pan with sauce. Add drained spaghetti, half the Parmesan (save the rest for serving), and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings); toss to combine. TIP: If needed, stir in reserved pasta cooking water a splash at a time until pasta is coated in a creamy sauce. • Stir in half the chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Turn off heat.
Stir shrimp or chicken into sauce along with spaghetti.
• Divide pasta between bowls. Top with toasted almonds, remaining Parmesan, and remaining chopped parsley. Serve.
Shrimp are fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many loved the sun-dried tomatoes and shrimp combo; some found it bland and added lemon or extra garlic for more punch 🍲.
- Ease of prep: Quick and easy to make, though a few found the instructions unclear or the prep time longer than expected.
- Suggestions: Consider adding extra garlic, chili flakes, or lemon juice to boost flavor. Some preferred angel hair pasta for a lighter texture.
- Leftovers: Tasty when fresh, but tends to dry out when reheated. Some found it even better the next day.
- Texture: Toasted almonds added a nice crunch, though a few felt they were unnecessary or burnt easily.
Reviews from our home cooks
We enjoyed this meal and would put it in our box again someday. I found the addition of a bit of cream cheese to the sauce to be an ingenious way to add a subtle creaminess to the dish without making it feel heavy. If I were to order this again, I would definitely add at least one more clove of garlic from my own pantry, as well as perhaps some chili flakes, as I found the natural sweetness of the sundried tomatoes were missing an adequate counterpoint. I appreciate how fresh the shrimp always is, and what a generous quantity is included.
This was a very flavorful pasta meal without the standard tomato sauce. I also used the same recipe for adding the shrimp included. The shrimp looked great and were so good in this spaghetti dish. I am trying to pick recipes that are low carb/low calorie, but I liked the look of this meal.
This spaghetti-based meal is made more interesting with the addition of sun-dried tomatoes, steamed cherry tomatoes, and toasted almonds. I added some shrimp for some protein. It's a quick meal.
Loved this dish. Your photo does not accurately reflect the meal. The current photo does not look appetizing. We will definitely reorder. Next time, please add a larger pan or 2-paks Sun-dried tomatoes. We added extra Parmesan Cheese to step-5.
Loved the concentrate flavors. These are exceptional so far, and I love sun-dried tomatoes. And LOTS of GOOD shrimp!
This was great! I included the shrimp. Creamy tomato flavor and crunch from the almonds.
Really good. Regular tomatoes were kinda unnecessary and I wish it was just sun dried tomatoes. The almonds were really good too!
This is our all time favorite pasta dish that Hello Fresh has to offer. We added shrimp to our meal this time.. seriously the best!!
Really, really good. My son is taking the recipe home! He is a vegetarian and enjoyed the meal without shrimp. I added the shrimp to my plate. Superb!
Sun dried tomatoes were very chewy/fibrous but had good flavor overall, just kind of awkward to eat at times. Had to cut them into smaller pieces.
