Equipment

Ingredients

  • 16 ounce pasta (any shape)
  • 3 Tablespoons butter
  • 2 teaspoons jarred minced garlic
  • 16 ounces raw large shrimp (I buy peeled, deveined, tails removed)
  • 1 small head of broccoli (chopped into bite-sized pieces)
  • 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese divided
  • Optional - fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted water. Cook according to package directions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
  • At the same time, in a large oven-safe skillet melt butter over medium heat. 
  • To the melted butter, add the flour and whisk until smooth. 
  • Pour in chicken broth and milk, adding a little bit at a time, while continuing to whisk until smooth. 
  • Add in lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper, and stir.
  • Sprinkle in the parmesan cheese, along with 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, and continue to mix until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce thickens.
  • Add the shrimp, broccoli, and cooked pasta into the cheese sauce and mix to fully coat.
  • Top with the reaming 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake the pasta mixture for 20 minutes, or until the cheese melts and lightly browns. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
