Serves: 8 servings (about 2 cups each)
Ingredients
1 lb uncooked fettuccine
7 cups broccoli florets (about 1 lb)
1¼ cup prepared basil pesto
2 lbs peeled and deveined cooked medium shrimp (thawed if frozen)
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add fettuccine, and cook 6 minutes. Add broccoli florets to pasta; cook until pasta is al dente and broccoli is bright green and crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Reserve ½ cup cooking liquid, and set aside. Drain pasta mixture.
Return pasta and broccoli to pot; reduce heat to low. Stir in pesto and shrimp. Cook, stirring constantly, just until heated through, about 2 minutes, adding cooking liquid, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed for creaminess. Top with Parmesan; serve immediately.
