Instructions
- Boil a salted pot of water for the pasta and cook it al dente according to package instructions.
- When the pasta is about 10 minutes away from being done, add the butter to a skillet over medium heat. Once it melts, add the flour in and cook for about a minute, stirring often.
- Add in the garlic, tomato paste, and wine. Give it a stir and let it bubble for about one minute.
- Whisk in the cream, then stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, red pepper flakes, and shrimp, and cook it for about 5 minutes, until the shrimp are cooked and the sauce thickens a bit.
- Stir in the parmesan and basil and take the skillet off the heat. Season with salt & pepper as needed.
- Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss until coated. Serve immediately with more parmesan if desired.
Notes
- I wouldn't sub the heavy cream for anything with a lower fat content (e.g. half-and-half or milk) because the tomato in the sauce is likely to curdle the sauce, and it may not thicken up the same as cream.
