Cheese shrimp penne pasta & spinach

Instructions:

  1. Prepare your penne pasta according to package instructions. 
  2. When you notice your pasta is almost done add your shrimp and cook until no longer pink.  
  3. Drain well and keep just 1 cup of water for the next step. Keep your pasta and shrimp warm and set aside. 
  4. Heat in a pan your oil over medium-high heat. Add butter. 
  5. When the butter melts add your warm pasta to the pan. Toss to coat then Season. 
  6. Cook for 2 mins, often stirring.
  7. Next, add spinach, and cook for 1 min until wilted.
  8. You can add half a cup of water water if necessary to cook spinach.
  9. Last, add shrimp and cheese. 
  10. Stir until your cheese is well melted. Add more seasonings depending on how you like it. 
  11. Garnish with dried cilantro before serving.

Notes:

Feel free to use any kind of pasta you like. If you prefer corkscrews, linguine, or spaghetti, it will perfectly work as much as the penne pasta does. I like to serve mashed potatoes with it. Egg noodles or crusty bread as well. Don’t use frozen spinach.
