pasta with shrimp


Tonight, we had penne with shrimp. I made a basic tomato sauce, which started with some sauteed onions and garlic. Then I added a splash of red wine to the pan, followed by crushed tomatoes. I let the sauce simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, and seasoned it with salt, pepper, crushed red pepper, and dried basil and oregano. Meanwhile, I cooked penne in salted boiling water. Ten minutes before serving, I added the shrimp to the sauce to cook. Finally, I tossed the pasta with the sauce and served it with crusty bread.
