Pasta con Pomodoro e Gamberi is a deliciously fresh Italian dish featuring succulent shrimp tossed with al dente pasta in a vibrant tomato sauce. This kosher version emphasizes bright flavors and wholesome ingredients, making it a delightful meal for any occasion.

Ingredients

• Spaghetti - 150 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Cherry tomatoes - 250 grams, halved
• Shrimp (peeled and deveined) - 200 grams
• Fresh basil - 10 grams, chopped
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Red pepper flakes - pinch (optional)
• Parmesan cheese (optional and kosher) - for serving

Steps

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
3. Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until they soften and release their juices.
4. Stir in the shrimp, cooking for 3-4 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
5. Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet, tossing to combine. If the pasta seems dry, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.
6. Mix in the chopped basil, adjusting seasoning if necessary, and serve hot with a sprinkle of kosher Parmesan cheese if desired.
