Pasta with Tomato Cream Sauce

Have you ever had Shrimp Diavolo from Bravo's? Well, that is my all time favorite entree to get at Bravo's and this meal reminds me a lot of their Shrimp Diavolo dish. This makes me too excited, because now I can continue to play around with it to make it more and more like Bravo's! WoooHooo!!!

Originally the plan was to make Pioneer Woman's "Penne a la Betsy!" recipe, but I decided to added a few small ingredients and change some, to make it my own. It turned out great :) and Taylor asked to have this on the menu more!

Pasta with Tomato Cream Sauce

What you'll need:
3/4 pounds Rotini Pasta [or your choice of pasta]
1 pound raw Shrimp, deveined, peeled, no tail
3 tbs butter
3 tbs olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup white wine
1/2 15oz can tomato sauce (or 1 8oz can)
1 cup half & half
1 tbs sour cream
1 tbs fresh Parsley
2-3 tbs fresh Basil
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
Red Pepper Flakes [Dash on each plate for a hint of spice- this was delicious!]
Shredded Parmesan [Topping]

1. Heat 1 tbs butter, 1 tbs olive oil in medium sized pan, on medium heat. Rinse shrimp & add shrimp to pan. Saute until pink, not all the way through. While that is cooking, bring a pot of water to boil for pasta.

2. Chop onion & garlic. Set aside.

3. Once shrimp are cooked, remove to a plate and set aside.

4. Wipe out pan [or get a new one], heat 2 tbs butter, 2 tbs olive oil. Saute onion & garlic, stirring occasionally. [Start cooking pasta]

5. While onion & garlic are sauteing, cut shrimp into small bite size pieces.

6. Pour wine into pan with onions & garlic. Let the alcohol cook out for a few minutes.  Then add tomato sauce, stir. [Place heat on low]

7. Add half & half and 1 tbs sour cream.

8. Stir together. While it heats up, chop parsley & basil.

Doesn't that look cool? :)

9. Add shrimp, stir. [Drain pasta]

10. Add parsley & basil, stir.

11. Add pasta, stir. Salt & Pepper, to taste.











Voila!


Mmmm!!!! I could go for some more of this right about now! ;)

Plate, add dash of red pepper flakes and top with shredded Parmesan cheese.

[Picture taken without red pepper flakes... but I added some, don't you worry!]

You won't regret making this, I promise!!!

Enjoy :)
