Bucatini w/Shrimp & Spicy Cherry Tomato Pan Sauce

by Irene Lindvall


The weather has turned for a few days so I thought a nice warm pasta dish sounded great. I used fresh whole wheat pasta from Whole Foods and also used more than a pinch of the red chili flakes like the recipe recommends. The result was a fairly spicy delicious pasta dish. I liked that the sauce for the dish was just the olive oil and tomato juices. The feta added a nice creamy texture to the dish, and I couldn't add enough fresh basil. Isn't the color of the dish wonderful?

Things I learned from this recipe:

I forgot how much I loved the smell of garlic and tomatoes cooking together. 

Fresh whole wheat pasta seems a lot less dense than boxed pasta. 

Would I make this recipe again?:

Sure
