Shrimp Pasta

🇮🇹 Italian

Prep 12 min Cook 2 min Serves 2 Easy

Ingredients

  • Saltto taste
  • Garlic3 cloves, minced
  • Tomato Sauce2 tbsp
  • Olive Oil2 tbsp
  • Parmesan Cheese60 g, grated
  • Spaghetti320 g
  • Spring Onions3, sliced
  • Shrimp400 g
  • Noodles250 g

Optional extras

  • Fresh Basilhandful, to finish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Start the Shrimp in a big pot of salted boiling water and preheat your serving bowls — cold plates kill a pasta dish.

  2. 2

    Soften Noodles in butter and oil together; the butter carries flavour, the oil stops it burning.

  3. 3

    Add Garlic and a ladle of pasta water, and let it reduce to a spoon-coating sauce.

  4. 4

    Drain the Shrimp a minute shy and finish it in the sauce over brisk heat for a full minute of tossing.

  5. 5

    Check the texture: the sauce should ripple slowly, not run, and every piece should shine.

  6. 6

    Serve showered with cheese and black pepper, bowls warm, no delay.

Chef's tip

For deeper flavour, toast the dried oregano in the oil before adding anything wet.
