Ingredients

  • 4 lamb chops
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary or thyme, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 225 g fettuccine pasta
  • 225 g large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 240 ml heavy cream
  • 50 g grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 bunch broccolini
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, optional

Instructions

  1. Pat lamb chops dry and season with salt, pepper, garlic, and herbs.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet and sear lamb chops 3–4 minutes per side. Add butter and balsamic, spoon over chops, then rest.
  3. Cook fettuccine in salted water until al dente. Reserve 60 ml pasta water, then drain.
  4. In a pan, melt butter and sauté garlic. Add shrimp and cook 2–3 minutes per side. Remove shrimp.
  5. Add cream, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the same pan. Stir until thickened.
  6. Return shrimp and pasta to the pan. Toss to coat, adding pasta water as needed.
  7. Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Toss broccolini with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Roast 12–15 minutes.
  8. Finish broccolini with lemon juice if desired. Plate everything and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use a thermometer for perfect lamb doneness (medium-rare: 57–60°C).
  • Add a pinch of nutmeg to the Alfredo sauce for extra depth.
  • Let broccolini roast undisturbed for better caramelization.
  • Reserve pasta water before draining—it’s liquid gold for sauces.
  • Let lamb rest 5 minutes before serving to retain juices.
