How to Make It
1. Step
Bring a large pot of well-salted water to boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook according to the package directions until al dente, then drain well.
2. Step
Meanwhile, season the shrimp all over with salt and pepper.
3. Step
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and red pepper flakes and sauté until cooked through, 6–8 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
4. Step
Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion, and garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent and fragrant, 4–6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Step
Reduce the heat to low, add the heavy cream, and bring to a low simmer. Add the tomatoes, broccoli, and red bell pepper. Cook for 6–8 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften. Add the spinach and stir until wilted.
6. Step
Stir the Parmesan into the sauce until melted, about 2 minutes, then mix in the lemon juice. Add the shrimp and pasta and toss to coat. Sprinkle in the basil and season with more salt and pepper to taste.
