instructions
    1

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook 200 grams of pasta according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.

    2

    While the pasta is cooking, wash and cut 200 grams of broccoli into small florets. Blanch the broccoli in the boiling pasta water for 3 minutes, then remove and set aside.

    3

    In a large skillet, heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 3 minced cloves of garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.

    4

    Add 250 grams of shrimp to the skillet, cooking for about 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and are cooked through.

    5

    Stir in the blanched broccoli and season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well.

    6

    Once the pasta is ready, drain it and reserve some of the pasta water. Add the pasta to the skillet and toss everything together. If it seems dry, add a little reserved pasta water.

    7

    Serve hot with freshly grated 50 grams of parmesan cheese on top.
