Pasta & Sauce Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté Shrimp

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    Pour in the sherry and chicken broth, scraping any bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream, parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet, tossing it in the sauce until well coated. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

  5. 5

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
