Shrimp Spaghettini Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Roasting the Tomatoes

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a baking sheet, toss the cherry tomatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until the tomatoes are blistered and caramelized.

2. 2

   Cooking the Spaghettini

   While the tomatoes are roasting, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghettini and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghettini.

3. 3

   Sautéing the Shrimp

   In a large skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes.

   Combining Ingredients

   Add the roasted tomatoes, cooked spaghettini, and fresh basil to the skillet with the shrimp. Toss everything together, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time until the desired consistency is reached. Stir in the grated Parmesan Reggiano and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
