Ingredients

• 1 pound (medium, peeled and deveined) Shrimp
• 12 ounces Linguini pasta
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 (minced) Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 1 28-ounce can Crushed tomatoes
• 0.5 cup Dry white wine
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.25 cup (chopped) Fresh basil leaves
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) Black pepper
• 0.25 cup (grated, optional for garnish) Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional for garnish) Parsley

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguini pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 4

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another minute, allowing it to caramelize slightly.

Step 5

Pour in the crushed tomatoes and white wine, stirring to combine. Add the dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Let the sauce simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.

Step 6

Add the cooked shrimp back into the skillet and stir to coat them in the sauce. Let them simmer in the sauce for 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Add the cooked linguini to the skillet and toss to combine with the shrimp and sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water, a few tablespoons at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped fresh basil leaves. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 9

Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley, if desired.
