SHRIMP AND LINGUINE FRA DIAVOLO BY EMERIL

Steps:

• Bring a large 1-gallon pot of salted water to a boil, and place the pasta in the pot.
• Cook for 5 minutes and then drain; pasta will be only partially cooked.
• As the pasta cooks, set a 14-inch saute pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
• Once the oil is hot, add the onions to the pan and cook until lightly caramelized and wilted, about 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add the garlic to the pan and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Add the red pepper flakes and saute briefly before adding the tomato sauce and tomato paste.
• Cook the sauce until reduced by about half, about 5 minutes.
• Add the shrimp to the pan and cook for 2 minutes.
• Add the partially cooked pasta to the pan along with 1 cup of the pasta cooking water and continue to cook the pasta in the sauce until al dente, about 3 to 4 minutes.
• Season the pasta with the salt and garnish with the parsley. Toss to combine and serve with grated Parmesan, if desired.
