Rigatoni with Shrimp and Broccoli
As a picky eater who mostly only ate “chicken nuggets and pasta” growing up, this was a dinner that my mom figured out I loved that could get me to eat veggies and protein. It also has been one of my favorite comfort dinners as an adult. Thank you, mama.

- Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil and season gratuitously with kosher salt.
- Add your pasta and cook until al dente (per your box instructions). Strain and reserve.
- While your pasta cooks, add 1 Tbsp of the olive oil and begin to saute the broccoli in a large skillet over medium heat.
- If using fresh broccoli florets, start by steaming the broccoli with a few tablespoons of water and covering with a lid until bright green, then saute in olive oil.
- Season with a portion of the kosher salt and the black pepper, and then saute half of the minced garlic with the broccoli.
- In the same skillet, move the broccoli to the perimeter and melt down the butter in the center.
- Add the remainder of the garlic to the butter along with the red pepper flakes, and then add the shrimp.
- Season with the remaining kosher salt and cook 1-2 minutes per side until pink. Give the broccoli and shrimp a good toss.
- Add the cooked pasta into the skillet and carefully toss everything together with the final tablespoon of olive oil over medium-low heat.
- Finish by folding in the parmesan cheese, checking for seasonings, and serving right away.
