Introduction

We're serious about the spice in this recipe. Whole-grain pasta and tender shrimp pair perfectly with a luxuriously rich, piquant sauce. We're serious about the spice in this recipe. Whole-grain pasta and tender shrimp pair perfectly with a luxuriously rich, piquant sauce.

Ingredients

    3 tablespoons olive oil
    4 garlic cloves, smashed
    1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
    2 teaspoons sun-dried tomato paste*

Bring a large stock pot of water to boil, and prepare the pasta according to package directions, omitting salt.

In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes. When the garlic starts to sizzle, stir in the sun-dried tomato paste.
Add the diced tomatoes, and cook over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add wine and cook for 1 minute.

Add shrimp; cook just until shrimp turns pink.

Remove the pan from heat and stir in the butter.

Drain pasta and place in warmed serving dishes. Top with shrimp mixture and parsley.

    I gave this recipe 5 stars, but wanted to point out that it doesn't reheat well. Something about the sauce consistency and fresh taste are damaged. So, I would suggest making this only when you are sure it will be eaten that day.

    Loved it! I made it last night for me and my husband and it was delicious. This dish is definitely spicy so if you are not into that then I would cut down on the red pepper. I made it exactly as recommended and I wouldn't change a thing- very rare for me. Great portions and surpisingly easy to make. - 9/16/09

    Pretty high on the calories and over the top with sodium! Maybe leave out the added salt and use low-sodium tomato paste & canned tomatoes. Way to much of both for me! - 12/11/09

    The calory count is still very high for the portion size.
    It comes to 2 ounces of PASTA per serving. You can cut out the oil & butter without sacrificing flavor. You can always add a drizzle of flavored oil on top of your serving. Me,I add
    more heat.

    Very yummy. I cut way back on the pepper flakes because my family are nice spicy folk. 1/8 tsp was enough to leave a suggestion of spicy for us. - 9/15/09
