Ingredients

• 12 oz Fettuccine
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 lb Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 3 Garlic cloves (minced)
• 2 cups Cherry tomatoes (halved)
• 0.5 cup Dry white wine
• 0.5 cup Fresh basil leaves (chopped)
• 0.25 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water, then drain the fettuccine and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to break down and release their juices.

Step 5

Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes to allow the alcohol to evaporate and the sauce to reduce slightly.

Step 6

Return the shrimp to the skillet, along with the chopped basil, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and cook for 1 minute to warm through.

Step 7

Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. If the pasta looks too dry, add a splash of the reserved pasta cooking water to loosen it.

Step 8

Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
