Sunday Dinner

Italian Girl + Sunday Dinner = Pasta

This is one of my favorites:

Ingredients: olive oil, garlic, tomatoes, crushed red pepper, heavy cream, shrimp, pasta.

Heat oil, add garlic & crushed red pepper flakes

Add a can of whole tomatoes (I only had crushed, but whole is better).  I also add basil, salt & pepper to taste.

Next, add a few tablespoons of heavy cream

Meanwhile, boil pasta

I remove the sauce from the heat and add shrimp.

Finished Product

Note: If there is one thing I remember from the gastronomic tour of Italy my mom took me on in 6th grade, it's that cheese does not belong on pasta with seafood.  Since Mate isn't Italian, I feel like it's okay to break that rule, sometimes.
