Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a little pasta water.

Sauce

  1. 2

    Sauté Garlic and Spice

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

  2. 3

    Add Tomatoes and Seasoning

    Pour in the canned crushed tomatoes, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and let the sauce simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.

Cooking Shrimp

  1. 4

    Cook the Shrimp

    Add the shrimp to the sauce and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Stir in the chopped fresh basil.

Combine

  1. 5

    Mix Pasta and Sauce

    Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet, tossing to combine well with the sauce. If the mixture appears too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese and additional fresh basil if desired.
