Instructions

1. Cook the pasta in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a bit of the pasta water. Salt & Lavender+1

2. Meanwhile, season the shrimp with salt, pepper, and some Italian herbs. Sear/shrimp in a skillet with butter (or butter + oil) until shrimp turns pink & opaque (usually ~1-2 minutes per side). Remove shrimp and put aside. The Fit Peach+2Golden Grace Kitchen+2

3. In the same skillet: sauté onion (or shallot) & garlic until fragrant. Add tomato paste & sun-dried tomatoes. Let that cook for a minute to deepen flavor. Salt & Lavender+1

4. Add wine (or broth) to deglaze, then heavy cream. Stir to combine. Let the sauce simmer so it thickens a bit. Salt & Lavender+1

5. Stir in Parmesan cheese, and adjust seasoning (salt / pepper / herbs). If sauce is too thick, add a splash of pasta water. The Fit Peach+1

6. Add back the cooked pasta and shrimp. Gently toss so everything is coated and heated through. The Fit Peach+1

7. Garnish with fresh basil (or parsley), maybe red pepper flakes for a little heat. Serve immediately. The Fit Peach+1
