Creamy Tomato Shrimp Pasta

1 Cook pasta according to package instructions. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
2 While pasta cooks, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
3 Add shrimp, salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side, or until shrimp are pink and cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
4 In the same pan, add another 1 tbsp olive oil and chopped garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds.
5 Add sliced cherry tomatoes and cook until softened, about 4–5 minutes.
6 Stir in spinach and cook until wilted.
7 Pour in cooking cream and half of the Parmesan cheese. Stir until melted and creamy.
8 Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes (if using).
9 Add cooked pasta and toss to coat in the sauce. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
10 Return shrimp to the pan and toss everything together until heated through.
11 Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh basil.
12 Serve warm and enjoy!
