1 box Penne Pasta (16 Ounce)
2 whole Lemons (juice And Zest)
1/4 cups Olive Oil, Divided
1 clove Garlic, Chopped
2 whole Shallots, Finely Diced
1 pound Shrimp, Peeled And Tails Removed
1 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoons Ground Black Pepper
2 pinches Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
⅓ cups Flat-leaf Parsley, Chopped
1 bag (approx 10 Oz) Fresh Spinach

1
Cook the pasta according to the box directions.
2
When its cooked, drain it but make sure to reserve one cup of the cooking liquid.
3
Zest the two lemons and put the zest into a bowl.
4
Then juice the two lemons and put the juice into the same bowl.
5
Add most of the olive oil to this bowl and set this mixture aside.
6
Saute garlic and shallots in the remaining olive oil in a large pan.
7
Add the shrimp and cook until just pink.
8
Add the spinach, hot pasta, half of the pasta water, lemon oil mixture, and spices.
9
Turn off heat.
10
Toss and add additional pasta water if needed.
11
Add chopped parsley, toss, and serve.
12
Optional sometimes I add more spinach if its in my fridge, and I add it either during the cooking step with the hot pasta or at the end.
13
Adding some at the end is nice because you have a contrast of wilted spinach and crisp spinach mixed in.
