Instructions

- Put the tomatoes, onion, chili flakes, basil, garlic and butter in a heavy pan, season with salt and pepper. Add the wine and cook over med/high heat until mixture is soft and most of the wine has evaporated. You will have about 1/4 cup liquid remaining.
- Cook pasta in salted water with 1 tablespoon olive oil, according to the package instructions until al dente (tender but firm to the bite). Rinse, Drain and set aside.
- Once the sauce has mostly evaporated, stir in the cream and add the shrimp. Warm through gently for 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Toss the pasta with the sauce. Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve!
