Pasta Alfredo with Shrimp

This is rich and delicious. Perfect recipe to impress dinner companions and an easy one pot wonder.

Ingredients:

1 lb. pasta (I personally like Rigatoni for this)

1 lb. shrimp

2 slices pancetta (or bacon if you like a smoky flavor background)

2 cups chicken broth

1 cup cream or half and half

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons flour (for thickening)

1 small onion chopped

2 large cloves garlic minced

1 cup parmesan cheese

2 cups frozen broccoli florets

Start a big pot of water to boil for pasta. In a saucepan, heat olive oil and butter. Add pancetta, onions and garlic and saute until onions start to turn translucent. Sprinkle in flour, stir and cook for about a minute. Slowly add the chicken broth and stir until well incorporated. Add cream and let come to a slow boil. Add in shrimp and broccoli florets and cook until shrimp turns pink. Cook pasta in boiling water until aldente, drain and pour back in pot. Add sauce and stir until incorporated together. Serve in large bowl and sprinkle some more cheese on top. Will serve an army!
