Recipe: Tiny Shrimp Sauce for Pasta (Italian)

Main Dishes - Pasta, Sauces
TINY SHRIMP SAUCE

"From the east coast of Italy, along the Adriatic sea comes this shrimply good sauce."

1/3 cup olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 (16 ounce) can Italian-style tomatoes, blenderized
Pinch crushed red pepper*
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
8 ounces cooked small shrimp**
Hot cooked pasta*** (for serving)

Saute onions in olive oil until transparent.

Add garlic, tomatoes and red pepper. Bring to a boil, partially cover and cook at low heat for 15 minutes.

Add parsley and shrimp, to heat through. Remove from heat. Pour sauce over pasta. Toss and serve.

*If you choose to, you may replace the crushed red pepper with a pinch of ginger. Should you elect to do so, the sauce would then be known as Torcello style."

**These tiny shrimp are available fresh or frozen all year from your local grocer or fish market. They are also available in 4 1/4 ounce cans. You'll need 1/2 pound if fresh or two cans for this sauce.

***Recommended pasta: narrow ribbon types or hollow strings.
