Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Pasta and Shrimp
  • 200 grams tagliatelle pasta Fresh if possible.
  • 300 grams shrimp, peeled and deveined Fresh shrimp is recommended for best flavor.
Sauce Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped For garnishing.
  • Salt and pepper to taste Salt and pepper
  • Grated to serve Parmesan cheese

Method
 

Cooking Pasta
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the tagliatelle pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving some of the pasta water.
Cooking the Shrimp
  1. In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant—be careful not to burn it!
  2. Add the shrimp to the pan, cooking until they turn pink, which should take around 2-3 minutes.
Combining Ingredients
  1. Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for an additional 2 minutes to soften them.
  2. Add the drained tagliatelle to the pan along with the fresh basil. Toss everything together, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
Final Touches
  1. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat over low heat, adding a splash of water or olive oil to loosen the sauce. For longer storage, consider freezing the pasta without the sauce for up to 2 months.
