Ingredients
- 1/2 pound Angel Hair
- 24 peeled and deveined shrimp
- 1/2 red pepper sliced thin
- 1/2 orange pepper sliced thin
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 3 tablespoon chopped red onions
- 2 tablespoon minced garlic
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 3tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup heavy cream (can use half and half) *See note
- ½ cup parmesan cheese
- ½ cup reserved pasta water
- Salt/pepper to taste
- *note: If you wish to not use heavy cream or half and half, make a basic roux of butter/flour and fat free milk. This will definitely cut back the calories considerably.
Instructions
- Boil pasta for 4 minutes
- At the same time, sauté peppers in butter and olive oil for 5 minutes
- Add in the red pepper flakes and onions – sauté for 3 minutes
- In the boiling pasta, add the broccoli and boil for 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic and mix well – cook 2 minutes
- Add in the shrimp and stir – cook the shrimp for 3-5 minutes or until pink. DO NOT OVER COOK!
- Add the cooked pasta and broccoli to the other pan with the peppers reserving ½-1 cup of pasta water.
- Add in the cream and parmesan cheese and bring to a slight boil (just until it slightly thickens)
- If too thick add in ½ cup of the reserved pasta water, remove from heat.
- Salt pepper to taste
