Baked Spaghetti with Shrimp and Herbs

Ingredients

• 12 oz spaghetti
• 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ tsp red chili flakes
• ½ cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400°F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the 12 oz spaghetti until just shy of al dente, about 8 minutes. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain.

2. 2

   In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 0.5 tsp chili flakes, cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

3. 3

   Add 1 lb shrimp to the skillet, season with 0.5 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp pepper. Cook until pink and just opaque, 2-3 minutes per side. Remove shrimp and set aside.

4. 4

   In the same skillet, toss the drained spaghetti with remaining 1 tbsp olive oil, 0.5 tsp salt, and 0.25 tsp pepper. Add the shrimp back, sprinkle with 0.25 cup parsley, and toss to combine. If dry, add a splash of reserved pasta water.

5. 5

   Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the top is lightly golden and edges are crisp, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 0.25 cup parsley before serving.

6. 6

   Let rest for 2 minutes, then serve warm directly from the skillet.
