Sheree DeLorenzo's “Sciue, Sciue” Pasta



“Sciue, Sciue” Pasta




“Sciue, Sciue” is Italian slang for “hurry, hurry” so this sauce is a snap to make.  I especially love it in the summer because that’s when these ingredients are at their best.  I grow tomatoes and basil—there’s something wonderful about growing your own food, even if it’s a tiny patch of herbs or a potted tomato plant.  My garden is a complete mess—I never water, I never weed, but the tomatoes and basil grow haphazardly in a sunny patch in spite of my negligence. 


Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup whole grape tomatoes
2 cups halved grape tomatoes
3 tablespoons roasted garlic
5 tablespoons chopped garlic
1/4 cup chopped red peppers
Dash of chili pepper flakes  (or as desired)
1/2 cup white wine
4 tablespoons butter, cubed
1 cup shrimp
Salt and pepper to taste 
Instructions
1.  Heat sauté pan and sauté whole tomatoes until softened.
2. Add halved tomatoes until well heated.
3. Sautee shrimp until they are cooked.
4. Add garlic, chili pepper flakes, wine, butter, salt and pepper and heat.

Serve over linguine garnish with fresh chopped basil.
