Servings: 2 servings
Equipment
- 1 Large frying pan
- 1 large pot
Ingredients
- 200 grams shrimp` peeled, deveined and tailed removed
- 250 grams farfalle pasta also known as bowtie
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 shallot finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 2½ cups canned crushed tomatoes
- 1/2 heavy cream 33%
- 3 fresh basil leaves whole
- parmesan cheese grated, optional for topping
Instructions
- Begin by chopping your shallot and garlic then set aside until ready to use.
- Pat the shrimp to dry (on both sides) using paper towels.
- Bring a large frying pan to medium heat. Add the olive oil and once warm, add the shallot and garlic. Sauté for 1–2 minutes, just until fragrant.
- Add the shrimp and season with salt and pepper then fry for 1–2 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through. Remove shrimp from the pan and set aside.
- Add the canned crushed tomatoes and the whole leaves of fresh basil.Sammy's tip: add about 2 tablespoons of water to the can, swirl, and pour into the pan to get all of the remaining tomatoes out.Bring to a low simmer and let cook for about 20 minutes.
- While the tomatoes simmer, cook the rigatoni according to package instructions in heavily salted water. If the pasta is ready early, toss with a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking.
- After 20 minutes of simmering, add the heavy cream and simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Add salt to taste - start with 1/4 tsp and add more if needed.
- Return shrimp to the pan and let simmer briefly until reheated.
- Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, toss to combine.
- Garnish with fresh basil and parmesan cheese, if desired.
