Preparation
Boil the pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta; stir gently to separate. Boil, 10 to 12 min., until al dente. Reserving 1 cup cooking water, drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, halve, core and thinly slice the sweet peppers lengthwise.
Sauté the sweet peppers & cook the shrimp
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towel (remove the shells from the tails if desired); season with the spices and S&P. In a large, high-sided pan (non-stick if possible), heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Add the sweet peppers and sauté, 2 to 3 min., until beginning to soften. Add the shrimp* and garlic. Cook, 1 to 2 min. per side, until opaque and cooked through.
Make the sauce
To the pan of sweet peppers and shrimp, add the spinach. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 min., until wilted. Add the cream, 2 tbsp butter, ½ the cheese and S&P. Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until slightly reduced.
Combine the pasta & serve
To the pan of sauce, add the pasta. If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the reserved cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency. Divide the pasta between your bowls. Garnish with the remaining cheese. Bon appétit!
