How to Make Penne With Shrimp Asparagus And Parmesan

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente.
  2. While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  3. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through.
  4. Add the asparagus to the skillet and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until tender-crisp.
  5. If using, add the white wine to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off.
  6. Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet with the shrimp and asparagus. Stir to combine.
  7. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley (if using).
