Then add the shrimp to the pan and sauté for 3-5 minutes, turning once, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through. (Cooking time will vary on the size of your shrimp.) Transfer shrimp with a slotted spoon to a clean plate, and set aside.
• Use the same sauté pan to prepare your Creamy Parmesan Sauce.
• Once the pasta and creamy sauce are finished cooking and ready to go, combine them in the large stock pot. Add in the spinach, sun-dried tomatoes and basil, and toss together until everything is evenly coated with the sauce.
• Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese.
• Heat olive oil (or melt butter) in the large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and sauté one minute, stirring occasionally, until fragrant. Sprinkle evenly with the flour, and stir to combine. Sauté for an additional minute so that the flour can cook, stirring occasionally.

Add in the Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper, and stir until the cheese has melted. If you'd like a creamier sauce (which is delicious), stir in the half and half as well.
