Shrimp and Broccoli Fettuccine
Rating
Shrimp pasta is a no-brainer weeknight win.
Ingredients
- kosher salt
- 1 lb. fettuccine
- Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
- 2 tbsp. butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ c. chicken broth
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 lb. shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 c. tomato sauce
- ½ c. heavy cream
- ¼ c. chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Bring an 8-quart stock pot of water to a boil and generously season with salt. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. (Stir frequently as fettuccine tends to stick.) If necessary, stir in a drizzle of olive oil. In the last minute of cooking, add broccoli.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat melt butter and sauté with garlic for 2 minutes. Add chicken broth, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper and bring to a simmer; toss in shrimp and sauté until pink, about 3 minutes. Transfer shrimp to a bowl and set aside.
- Stir in tomato sauce and heavy cream; simmer on low for 5 minutes. Toss in pasta until well combined; add back shrimp and broccoli. Stir until warmed through. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
