1️⃣ Cook the Pasta:

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

2️⃣ Sauté the Shrimp:

While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

3️⃣ Cook Garlic and Spinach:

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Add the chopped spinach, cooking until wilted (about 2-3 minutes).

4️⃣ Prepare the Cheese Sauce:

Add heavy cream and chicken broth to the skillet with spinach and garlic, stirring to combine.

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat.

Gradually stir in the Parmesan and mozzarella until melted and smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes, if desired.

5️⃣ Combine Everything:

Add the cooked pasta and shrimp back to the skillet. Toss until the pasta and shrimp are fully coated in the cheesy sauce.

6️⃣ Serve:

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
