Ingredients:
\nFor the Pasta Bake:<\/p>\n
8 oz pasta (linguine, penne, or fusilli work well)
\n1 lb large shrimp (peeled, deveined, and tails removed)
\n3 tablespoons unsalted butter
\n3 cloves garlic (minced)
\n1\/2 cup chicken broth
\n1\/2 cup heavy cream
\nJuice of 1 lemon (about 2\u20133 tablespoons)
\n1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
\nSalt and pepper (to taste)
\n1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
\n1\/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
\n1\/4 cup fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
\nOptional Add-Ins:<\/p>\n
Cherry tomatoes (halved, for added sweetness)
\nBaby spinach (for extra greens)
\nCanned artichoke hearts (chopped, for a Mediterranean twist)
\nInstructions:
\nPreheat the Oven:
\nPreheat your oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C).
\nCook the Pasta:
\nIn a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
\nSaut\u00e9 the Shrimp:
\nIn a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and saut\u00e9 for about 1 minute until fragrant.
\nAdd the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn pink, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
\nMake the Sauce:
\nPour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, then add the lemon juice. Stir to combine and let it simmer for a couple of minutes.
\nCombine:
\nIn a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, shrimp mixture, and any optional add-ins (like cherry tomatoes or spinach). Mix well to coat everything in the sauce.
\nTransfer to Baking Dish:
\nPour the pasta mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Top with shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese.
\nBake:
\nBake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
\nGarnish and Serve:
\nRemove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
