Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces of penne or spaghetti pasta (dry weight)
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves, washed and roughly chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 14 ounces diced tomatoes, with juices
  • 0.5 cup chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

    • Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water and drain the rest. Set pasta aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  • Add the shrimp to the skillet and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until shrimp turn pink and are cooked through. Remove shrimp from the pan and set aside.
  • Pour the diced tomatoes with their juices and chicken broth into the same skillet. Stir and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  • Cook the tomato mixture for 5 minutes, letting it reduce slightly. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
  • Add the chopped spinach to the tomato sauce. Stir until it wilts, about 2 minutes.
  • Return the cooked shrimp to the pan, then add the drained pasta. Toss everything together, adding a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce if needed.
  • Remove from heat and mix in half of the Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Serve immediately with the remaining Parmesan sprinkled on top and fresh basil if you have it.
