Step 1: Prepare the Pasta
Cook the penne pasta according to the package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2: Sauté Spinach and Garlic
In a large sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the spinach and minced garlic, cooking until the spinach is tender and wilted, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 3: Add Shrimp
Add the cooked shrimp to the pan with the spinach and toss to combine. Cook together for 2-3 minutes, just until the shrimp are heated through.
Step 4: Combine with Pasta
Add the drained pasta to the shrimp and spinach mixture. Toss everything together to ensure the pasta is well coated with the garlic and olive oil.
Step 5: Make Cheese Sauce
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the heavy cream and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and add the shredded mozzarella, stirring continuously until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
Step 6: Combine and Serve
Pour the cheese sauce over the pasta mixture. Toss everything together to coat the pasta, shrimp, and spinach evenly with the sauce. Heat through if necessary.
Step 7: Garnish and Enjoy!
Serve the pasta hot, garnished with additional mozzarella or fresh herbs if desired.
