Warming pasta dishes are back in the weeknight rotation! This spicy shrimp pasta is from a random issue of Canadian Living and I’m so happy I found it, because it’s SO GOOD.

Ingredients:
  • 1 Box of farfalle (I ended up using about 3/4)

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 lb peeled & deveined shrimp

  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced

  • 1 cup tomato sauce

  • 1 tsp spicy chili paste

  • Handful of chopped fresh basil

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • 1/2 onion, chopped

  • Parmesan cheese

Instructions
  • cook pasta according to package directions.

  • Reserve 1 cup of pasta water; drain pasta.

  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

  • Add shrimp and cook until pink, about 3 min

  • Add garlic, tomato sauce, chili paste and basil; season with salt and pepper.

  • Add the onion; cook for another few minutes

  • Stir in half of the reserved cooking liquid and simmer

  • Add pasta, tossing to evenly coat pasta with sauce, 1 to 2 minutes.

  • Serve with more chopped basil and shredded Parmesan cheese
