Recipe for "Quick Spicy Pasta With Shrimp"

Tips

Don't like shrimp? Substitute with chicken slices or sliced sausages. Make it vegetarian by omitting the protein. Be creative! :) Double the amount of tomato paste and pasta water if you want more sauce with your pasta.

Ingredients

Fettucine (Or Any Long Pasta Of Choice) 200 gram
Olive Oil 2 Tablespoons
Garlic, Chopped 4 cloves
Tomato Paste (Puree Not Ketchup) 1/2 can (about 4 Tablespoons)
Shrimp, Butterflied With Tails Intact 20 pieces
Parsley, Chopped (Dried Or Fresh) 1/2 Tablespoon
Dried Pepper Flakes (Like The Packet Ones From Domino's Pizza) 1 Tablespoon or less
Salt And Black Pepper To taste

Instructions

1

Season a pot of water with salt and drizzle some oil. Bring to a boil and cook pasta one minute less than instructed on the package. Reserve one cup of the pasta water and set aside.

2

While the pasta is cooking, heat a pan on low heat and saute the garlic in the olive oil then increase heat to medium and add in the shrimp.

3

Stir in the tomato paste and quickly toss in the drained pasta and add 1/4 cup of pasta water.

4

Sprinkle and stir in the parsley, pepper flakes and black pepper. Add salt if needed.
