Some ‘tings are so good.. they just speak for themselves.
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.

What good is dinner without dessert??? 🙂
Of course you’ll be bringing some of this to work tomorrow, right? 🙂
