How to Make Tomato Shrimp Scampi With Fettuccine

  1. Cook 1 pound fettuccine according to package directions, about 8 minutes, until tender but still firm.
  2. Drain the fettuccine well and set aside, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water.
  3. While the pasta cooks, mince 4 cloves of garlic.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and saute for 2 minutes, until fragrant.
  5. Add 1 (28-ounce) can of crushed tomatoes, 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, salt and pepper to taste. Stir well.
  6. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Pour in 1/4 cup of dry white cooking wine and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Stir well.
  8. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 6 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  9. Add 1 pound of shrimp (peeled and deveined), 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh scallions, and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  10. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through, about 3 minutes.
  11. Stir in 1/4 cup of chopped fresh basil and 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
  12. Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss gently to combine. Add a little pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
