SHRIMP AND PASTA MEDLEY

Steps:

• Bring salted water to a boil, add the noodles, stir and cook according to package instructions. The pasta should be al dente. Drain and reserve 1/4 cup of cooking liquid.

• Add the shrimp, tomatoes, garlic, ginger, pepper flakes, olives and saffron. Cook and stir about 3 minutes longer over high heat.
• Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, the drained noodles, the basil or coriander, the vinegar and, if needed, the reserved cooking liquid. Toss and stir well. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
