Ingredients

• Spaghetti - 160 grams
• Shrimp, peeled and deveined - 200 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic, minced - 2 cloves
• Canned crushed tomatoes - 400 grams
• Fresh basil leaves - 10 grams
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Red pepper flakes - 1/4 teaspoon (optional)
• Parmesan cheese, grated - 30 grams (omit for dairy-free option)

Steps

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente.
2. While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
4. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.
5. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, and season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Simmer for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
6. Once the pasta is cooked, reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water and drain the rest.
7. Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet with the sauce, tossing to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.
8. Tear the fresh basil leaves and mix them into the pasta just before serving.
9. Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
