Capellini with Shrimp and Creamy Tomato Sauce image

The addition of the sweet vermouth here punctuates the natural sweetness of the canned tomatoes, making this quick sauce taste as if it's been simmered for hours.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound peeled large shrimp
3 large garlic cloves, forced through a garlic press
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 cup sweet (red) vermouth
1 (14- to 15-ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 pound capellini

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then cook shrimp and garlic with oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, turning once, until golden, about 2 minutes total. Stir in vermouth and tomatoes, scraping up any brown bits from bottom of skillet. Add cream and briskly simmer until sauce has thickened slightly, about 1 minute. Stir in lemon juice.
  • Meanwhile, cook capellini in a pasta pot of boiling salted water (3 tablespoons salt for 6 quarts water) until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta-cooking water, then drain pasta.
  • Serve immediately, topped with shrimp and sauce. Thin with some of reserved water if necessary.

I made this dish with a few substitutions (I used chicken instead of shrimp and I used a different type of pasta) and it turned out great! This recipe is very versatile.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the results were disappointing. The sauce was too thin and the shrimp were overcooked.

The sauce was a bit too creamy for my taste, but otherwise this dish was very good.
