Cooking Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes, and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they are pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the shrimp and set aside.
  • Pour the white wine into the skillet and let it simmer for 2 minutes, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan.
  • Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  • Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Transfer the pasta mixture to a large baking dish. Arrange the shrimp on top.
  • Sprinkle the Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses over the pasta and shrimp.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream. Try using cooked chicken or vegetables for picky eaters. Add breadcrumbs for a crunchy topping if desired.
