Shrimp Alfredo Bake (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 10 ounces of penne pasta.
02 - 1 pound medium or large shrimp, peeled and cleaned.
03 - 3 tablespoons butter.
04 - 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour.
05 - 3/4 cup milk.
06 - 1/4 cup chicken broth, low-sodium.
07 - 1 cup mozzarella, shredded.
08 - 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons Parmesan, shredded.
09 - 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, divided and chopped.
10 - 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped.
11 - Ground black pepper to taste.
12 - 2 large tomatoes, diced (about 1 cup).

# Instructions:

01 - Heat the oven to 350°F. Cook the penne in salted boiling water until tender, following the package directions. Drain it well and leave it in the pot.
02 - Put 1 tablespoon of butter into a big skillet that can go in the oven and melt it on medium heat. Cook the garlic, shrimp, and 2 tablespoons of parsley, adding a bit of salt. Flip the shrimp after 2 minutes on each side, then move them to a plate. Leave the juices in the skillet.
03 - Melt the rest of the butter in the same skillet, then stir in the flour. Cook it for 1-2 minutes until golden. Slowly add the milk and broth, and let the sauce simmer gently.
04 - Add 3/4 cup of mozzarella and 1/4 cup Parmesan to the sauce, stirring until smooth. Sprinkle a bit of salt and pepper to bring out the flavors.
05 - Put the shrimp back in the skillet along with the tomatoes and cooked pasta. Stir until the sauce coats everything. If needed, pour in a little milk to thin it out.
06 - Spread the remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella and 2 tablespoons Parmesan evenly on top.
07 - Put the dish in the oven for 5-7 minutes to melt the cheese. If you want a crispy top, broil it for 2-3 minutes, but keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn.
08 - Add the leftover parsley on top as a garnish before serving. Enjoy while warm!
