Shrimp and Broccoli Alfredo Pasta

Ingredients

• 8 oz spaghetti
• ½ lb shrimp
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 cup mushrooms
• 1 cup heavy cream
• ½ cup Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the 8 oz spaghetti in salted boiling water until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.

2. 2

   While pasta cooks, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the 0.5 lb shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

3. 3

   In the same skillet, add the 2 cups broccoli florets and 1 cup mushrooms. Sauté until tender and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.

4. 4

   Pour in the 1 cup heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

5. 5

   Add the cooked spaghetti and shrimp back to the skillet. Toss everything together, adding reserved pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce. Serve hot with extra Parmesan if desired.
