Creamy herb shrimp pasta bake - a golden bubbly crowd-pleaser!
Ingredients:
  • 1 (10 ounce) package penne pasta
  • 3 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, divided
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 large tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 0.75 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 0.5 cup grated Romano cheese
  • 0.25 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) for the perfect temperature before cooking.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook penne until al dente, about 11 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • While the pasta is cooking, melt together 1 tablespoon of butter and oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Saute garlic until fragrant, around 30 seconds. Add shrimp, 2 tablespoons parsley, and dill and cook until shrimp are bright pink and opaque, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer shrimp to a plate, keeping the flavorful cooking juices in the pan.
  • In the skillet over medium heat, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Whisk in flour until it turns golden, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add chicken broth and whisk until combined, then add milk. Stir in tomatoes, lemon juice, salt, and pepper and bring to a simmer.
  • Sprinkle in 1/2 cup of Parmesan and Romano cheeses, stirring until they begin to melt and the sauce turns creamy. Toss in 1 tablespoon of mozzarella cheese. Mix in half of the cooked pasta, adding more if needed to coat in sauce. Gently fold in the shrimp, then finish with a sprinkle of the remaining mozzarella, Parmesan, and fresh parsley.
  • Bake until the top turns golden and the edges start bubbling, about 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven.
