Ready in: 30 mins

Ingredients

Serves: 4

• 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound medium shrimp, shelled and deveined
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 (28 ounce) cans peeled tomatoes
• 1 (8 ounce) can tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 pound dry fettuccine pasta (one box)

Preparation method

Prep: 5 mins | Cook: 25 mins

1. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Toss in the shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, about 3 or 4 minutes, until shrimp turns pink and curls.
2. Heat 1/4 cup of oil in a saucepan on medium-high heat.
3. When the oil is hot, add the onions and garlic. Cook until the onions start to get soft (but before they get brown), about five minutes.
4. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mash up the whole tomatoes into smaller chunks.
5. Keep heating sauce until it starts to bubble (a.k.a. simmer), then turn the heat to low, and simmer uncovered for 25 minutes.
6. For the fettuccine, a good time to start boiling the water is just before you add the tomatoes to the sauce. Fill a large pot with water. Bring to a boil, and cook for the time directed on the pasta box.
7. When the fettuccine is cooked, drain it and put it in a large bowl. Add the sauce and toss with the shrimp. Serve!
