You can always use a little cheering up, even if you are in a great mood already. This pasta will do that and more.
Ingredients
- 300g spaghetti
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 2 cups tomato passata
- 3 bay leaves
- 1/2 tsp chili flakes
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 14 shrimp, peeled
- salt and pepper to taste
- olive oil
Instructions
- Heat a splash of olive oil in a large pan and cook the onions and garlic for 2-3 minutes over medium to high heat, until they are translucent and slightly brown.
- Add the white wine and let it evaporate for a couple of seconds.
- Add the passata, the bay leaves, chili flakes and salt and pepper to taste.
- Turn down the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 15 minutes, until it has thickened and halved in volume.
- Meanwhile cook the pasta according to package and save one cup of the cooking water.*
- When the pasta is almost done, turn up the sauce again and add the shrimp and the cream. Cook for a few minutes until the shrimp are just cooked through.**
- Add the drained pasta and mix until everything is coated. Add a few splashes of pasta water if the pasta seems to dry for your taste. Serve immidiately.
Notes
- * Whenever I make a pasta dish with some kind of sauce I ALWAYS save a cup of the pasta cooking water. It’s the magic stuff that makes sauces silky. It helps you to adjust the sauce to the desired thickness right before serving.
- ** Do not overcook your shrimp. They do not need long. Just a couple of minutes, until they have turned bright orange and they should be cooked through and still juicy and tender.
