Garlic Sauce Bucatini with Roasted Shrimp and Broccoli.
Definitely ready to dive into this plate of garlic sauce pasta.
There’s roasted broccoli (of course), juicy shrimp (even better), some parsley, crushed red pepper and alllll the garlic you can imagine. Toasty and golden and wonderful and delicious. SIGN ME UP.
This meal is SO GOOD. You roast the broccoli and shrimp on a sheet pan while you cook the pasta and garlic oil. It all comes together in 30 minutes to create a sophisticated little meal that definitely seems sort of fancy.
And um hello, can we talk about how good this would be with a bottle of white wine? And how the recipe only really has ten ingredients? For so much major flavor? I’m in love!
The garlic oil sauce alone is unreal. Honestly I could eat a bowl of noodles swimming in this. With nothing else.
Okay, maybe with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.
Of course.
But really, the garlic sauce is life changing. I make it often for Eddie – he loves it too. It can go in so many dishes if you don’t want to use marinara. An it makes for great leftovers!
I’ve been cooking like a crazy person the last few weeks – it is great stress relief for me. Not just cooking for us to eat, but cooking and giving meals to family and friends. It’s one of the only things that is making me feel better right now. I’ve spent more time in the kitchen just being creative and throwing together comforting meals than I do in my everyday work life.
It’s caused me to slow down a little in the kitchen too… and I actually love it. Even if I still want mostly 30-minute meals.
There’s something about the golden, caramely garlic sprinkled throughout the pasta that is so comforting to me. I don’t know if it’s because I remember my mom making linguine and clam sauce in the 90s (which is a totally different dish!) but it just feels nostalgic right now.
And don’t worry – toasting the garlic in the oil reduces a lot of the garlicky bite and sting. This makes it so much more manageable! Plus, we can’t go anywhere so who cares if we consume six cloves of garlic in one sitting?
I’m in and I’d like a plate of this for breakfast, please and thank you.
Garlic Sauce Pasta with Roasted Shrimp and Broccoli
Garlic Sauce Bucatini with Roasted Shrimp and Broccoli
Ingredients
- 1 pound bucatini
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 1 pound raw, peeled and deveined shrimp
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the bucatini according to package directions.

that recipe looks scrumptious!!!! It has broccoli and shrimp in it!!!
Made this last night and LOVED it!! Swapped in scallops bc they were on major sale at Whole Foods, so pan-seared those separately, but kept everything else exactly as written. Thank you for such a delish and beautiful and easy recipe! We had nearly every ingredient already in our apartment :)
So tasty! Good dinner

This was amazing! I’m eating the last bits and typing. I halved almost everything but the broccoli and probably went heavy on the salt as usual, also didn’t need the lemon or parmesan at the end but had it ready.

This recipe works good with spaghetti too! I tried it and loved it. Cooking this with drum wheat spaghetti actually makes it healthier and the taste is awesome anyway!
Personally i do like this dish but i think it could use a little more garlic in the oil, i used 8ish smaller cloves and it came out without an abundance of flavor. Dont get me wrong it tasted good it just didnt have much of an immediate flavor.

Yum! I used 2 pounds of shrimp with the pound of pasta (home made) and a few extra garlic cloves. We almost licked the plates!
Delicious: get more information about how garlic is health beneficial.
I’m allergic to seafood! Is there a good shrimp substitute or do you think it would still be good if I just left it out?
you could use chicken! or it’s just as delicious leaving it out
Made this almost exactly as written with two exceptions: cut the crushed red pepper in half because my kids are spice sensitive, and switched out cavatappi for the bucatini. I didn’t think that the amount of garlic sauce was enough to coat a full pound of cooked pasta, so left out about 1/4-1/3 pound of cooked pasta from the final dish. The broccoli was also too charred for our taste at the stated cooking time (and we LOVE roasted broccoli in our house, I should have listened to my instinct and shortened the cook time). Will make again, just with some tweaks.
Sooooo flavorful! Love the roasted broccoli. Definitely will make again
Thank you!
Delicious! Perfectly seasoned. Impressed my whole family.
