Shrimp Pasta With Lemon Alfredo Sauce image

I love pasta and am constantly creating a new dish from ideas I get from other dishes. Here is a quick and easy lemony version of alfredo sauce. Note: I like to add fresh diced tomatoes to this (I'll omit the sun dried) and steamed broccoli crowns for a really complete meal.
