CHEESE SHRIMP PENNE PASTA & SPINACH

Trying to find a quick and easy evening meal? This one-pot pasta dish is nutritious and tasty, and can be made and eaten entirely in one pot. In no time, it will become a classic in your weeknight dinner routine.

What exactly is one-pan pasta? Imagine preparing an entire pasta dish and then presenting it to your guests from the same pot! Sounds too wonderful to be true, doesn't it? But it's not!
Cooked in one pan without the need to drain any liquid, perfectly cooked pasta is combined with shrimp, spinach and garlic in a tasty sauce.
There's no need to boil a large pot of water, no need to wait for the water to come to a boil before adding the pasta... none of this takes time or works!
You can have dinner on the table in about 30 minutes if you use this method. You can't go wrong with this.

It all starts with sauteing the garlic in a little olive oil before adding the shrimp, which cooks up in no time! Stir in the remaining liquid ingredients, pasta and garlic/shrimp before bringing everything to a boil. Once the liquid has been reduced by about half, it's time to return the shrimp and garlic to the pan for a few minutes before tossing in the spinach leaves for a quick wilt.

Ingredients:

Penne Pasta, use one package of 8-ounces.
Peeled and deveined Shrimp, I used one pound.
3 Cups.Of Fresh Chopped Spinach, Arugula or Kale leaves.
1 Cup.Of Swiss or Mozzarella Cheese.
3 minced Garlic cloves.
Seasonings; Salt, black Pepper & Garlic Salt, to ur liking.
2 large spoons of Butter
1 large spoon of sunflower Oil.

Directions:

Step 1 – To begin, you need to prepare the pasta according to the package directions. Add the shrimp to the pasta water during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
Step 2 – And cook until the meat is no longer pink. Remove everything except 1 cup of water to prepare for the next step. Keep the pasta and shrimp heated.
Step 3 – After that, you need to heat the oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. When the butter has melted, add the pasta to the pan. Toss everything together. Season to your liking and cook for 2 minutes, stirring often, until the sauce has thickened.
Step 4 – Next, add the spinach and simmer for 1 minute, or until wilted (you may need to add an additional 13 cup of water here to steam/cook the spinach). Finally, add the shrimp and cheese.
Step 5 – Gently stir until the cheese is melted. Don’t overcook the food. Season with other spices to taste. Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired.

ENJOY IT!!!
