Pantry Shrimp Pasta Recipe

	Keeperrox / All my dishes 1 year, 2 months ago This is a sauce that I can make anytime straight from my pantry and/or fridge, because it uses what I always keep on hand. Toss in some shrimp (or chicken, or sausage), serve with a salad, and it becomes a nice, complete meal. Please note, if using... More Prep:10m Cook:25m Servings:6	Keeperrox

Ingredients

12 oz pasta

1.5 lb shrimp, deveined and peeled (I use large, but you can use whatever size you'd like - smaller ups the prep time)

Kosher salt and black pepper

4 tsp olive oil, divided

1 medium onion, diced small

12 sun dried tomatoes, chopped

8-12 garlic cloves, minced or pressed

2 tsp anchovy paste (or 4 filets); optional

2 tsp red pepper flakes (more or less to taste)

1 tbsp Kosher salt

2- 14.5 oz cans diced tomatoes, with juice

1/4-1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth

1/4 cup basil, julienned (1 tbsp if using dried basil)

1/2 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese, plus more to serve

Directions

Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil for pasta. Add 1-2 tbsp of Kosher salt and cook according to package directions. Reserve pasta water.

Meanwhile, pat shrimp dry and season with salt and pepper.

Heat 1 tsp of oil over medium-high heat and sauté shrimp about 2 minutes per side. Set aside.

Reduce heat to medium and add onion, sun dried tomatoes, garlic, anchovy paste, red pepper flakes, salt, and remaining 3 tsp (1 tbsp) of oil to pan. Cook until onion begins to soften, about 5 minutes.

Add tomatoes and 1/4 cup broth (add dried basil now, if using), increase heat to medium-high and allow to reduce and slightly thicken for about 10 minutes (add more broth at the end of the 10 minutes if there is not enough sauce to coat pasta - this will depend on the amount of juice there is in your tomatoes).

Remove from heat and add fresh basil, cheese, and shrimp back to the pan. Stir to combine.

Combine pasta and sauce, and add reserved pasta cooking water as needed to loosen the sauce. Serve with cheese and enjoy!
