Ingredients

• 1 pound Large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
• 0.5 cup Dry white wine
• 1 can (28 ounces) Crushed tomatoes (canned)
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 12 ounces Spaghetti (or linguine)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti (or linguine) according to the package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.

Step 2

Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, until just pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Reduce the heat to medium and sauté the minced garlic and red pepper flakes for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 5

Deglaze the skillet with the dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 6

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Add the shrimp back into the skillet along with the chopped basil. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm the shrimp through.

Step 8

Toss the cooked pasta with the sauce, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick.

Step 9

Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley and an optional drizzle of olive oil or sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
