I was recently inspired by a friend who made a similar dish during a snowstorm. Now that another storm is brewing, I decided to try it out. Without a recipe, I just kind of experimented, but again...if you use classic ingredients, it was to be good.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 lb of dry cappellini (angel hair pasta)
- About 8-10 thawed jumbo shrimp
- 1 can whole peeled plum tomatoes (you will only use a few, save the rest for some marinara later!)
- 1/2 medium white onion, chopped
- A few handfuls of chopped green onion
- 1/4 C or so of olive oil
- 2 T margarine
- 1-2 T garlic paste
- About 1/4 C dry white wine (I used sauvignon blanc)
- A few pinches of dried basil and parsley
- 1/3-1/2 C grated parmesan cheese
- Sea salt, ground black pepper, ground white pepper, and rosemary to taste (i.e. however much you want)

Directions:
Pasta:
- Cook the pasta about 6-7 minutes, then set aside; toss w/ about 2 T olive oil to prevent sticking
- In a medium sized pot, melt the butter, add the olive oil and onions, and simmer for about 2 minutes
- Add in the garlic and simmer for about 1 minute
- Add in the wine and allow to simmer/reduce for about 2 minutes
- Add in 2-3 plum tomatoes and about 1/2 C of the tomato juice from the can and simmer/stir for about 3 minutes
- Add in shrimp and simmer for about 2 minutes
- Add in basil, parsley, rosemary, salt, and pepper
- Test sauce and decide if you want more olive oil, tomato juice, seasonings, etc.
- Toss with pasta and serve!
