How to Make Tagliatelle With A Simple Sweet Tomato Sauce And Shrimps
- Cook the tagliatelle according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
- While the pasta cooks, peel and devein the shrimp. Set aside.
- In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
- Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, and salt. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
- Stir in the cognac. (Optional: Carefully ignite the cognac with a long match or lighter. Let the flames die down before proceeding.)
- Add the shrimp to the sauce and cook until pink and opaque (about 2-3 minutes per side).
- Add the cooked tagliatelle to the pan and toss to coat with the sauce. Add a little pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
- Stir in the basil leaves.
- Serve immediately, garnished with extra basil and a drizzle of olive oil (optional).
- **Variations:**
- **Spicy:** Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
- **Creamy:** Stir in a dollop of heavy cream at the end.
- **Lemon-Herb:** Add the zest and juice of half a lemon, and a tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley along with the basil.
