For vibrant flavor, we’re coating shrimp with garlic, fiery Calabrian chile, and tomato paste—then bringing it together in a pan with tender broccoli florets and fettuccine.

Fill a large pot with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the **broccoli**. Cut off and discard the bottom 1/2 inch of the broccoli stem, then cut into small florets. If necessary, peel **2 cloves of garlic**; roughly chop. Pat the **shrimp** dry with paper towels; place in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add the **chopped garlic**, **tomato paste**, and **as much of the chile paste as you’d like**, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be. Stir to coat.

Prepare the ingredients:

Add the **pasta** to the pot of boiling water and cook, uncovered, 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente (still slightly firm to the bite). Reserving **1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water**, drain thoroughly.

Cook the pasta:

While the pasta cooks, in a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat **1/4 cup of water** to boiling on high. Once boiling, carefully add the **broccoli florets** in an even layer. Reduce the heat to medium-high. Loosely cover the pan with foil. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 5 minutes, or until the broccoli is lightly browned and the water has cooked off.

Cook the broccoli:

Add the **prepared shrimp** to the pan. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until the shrimp are slightly opaque. Add** 1/4 cup of water** (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and the shrimp are cooked through. Turn off the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

Cook the shrimp:

Add the **cooked pasta** and **half the reserved pasta cooking water **to the pan of **cooked shrimp and broccoli**. Cook on medium-high, stirring constantly, 1 to 2 minutes, or until the pasta is coated (if necessary, gradually add the remaining pasta cooking water to ensure the pasta is thoroughly coated). Turn off the heat. Stir in the **mascarpone cheese**. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the **finished pasta and shrimp** garnished with the **pecorino cheese**. Enjoy!
