Total Time: 60 Minutes
Ingredients:
1/2 lb. Pappardelle's Calabrian Chile & Honey Pappardelle
3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 lb. shrimp, peeled & deveined
½ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. black pepper
1 small red onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
3 cups tomato sauce
¼ cup fresh basil, roughly chopped, plus more for serving
Instructions:
- Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling water, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water and set aside.
- Heat 1 tbsp. olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp to the pan, season with salt & pepper, and cook until shrimp is opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Heat the remaining olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and crushed red pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add tomato sauce and basil and simmer on low, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, about 20-25 minutes. If sauce is too thick, add spoonfuls of pasta water to loosen. Toss pasta in sauce mixture until noodles are coated.
- Divide pasta with sauce and shrimp among dishes. Garnish with basil. Serve and enjoy!
