CREAMY SHRIMP PASTA

 

My, Spaghetti noodles are drenched in a creamy tomato sauce laced with garlic, onion, and a dash of spice, then tossed with juicy delicious shrimp. This quick and easy weekday supper is so tasty and luxurious that it will quickly become a family favorite!

 

INGREDIENTS:

 

1/2 lb large shrimp deveined and peeled

7 oz spaghetti or your choice of pasta

1 tbsp olive oil

4 garlic cloves thinly sliced

1-2 dried red chilies crushed in quarters lengthwise

1/2 medium-sized yellow onion sliced

1 medium-sized tomato diced

1/2 cup tomato sauce

1 cup heavy cream or evaporated milk

2 tbsp mozzarella/parmesan cheese grated

salt and pepper to taste

chopped parsley for garnish

 

Season the shrimp to taste with salt and pepper. Place aside.

Cook the pasta for about 1 minute shorter than the suggested time in a big pot of boiling salted water. Set aside after draining. To prevent sticking, stir the noodles in roughly 1 tbsp olive oil before cooking.

In a skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Cook until the garlic and red chilies are aromatic. Cook, turning periodically, until the shrimp turn pink in color, then add the onion and tomato.

Bring the tomato sauce and heavy cream to a boil. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then toss in the pasta and cheese. Combine all of the ingredients and garnish with parsley. Have fun!
