Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces spaghetti or linguine
  • 1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 can 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 4 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese for serving
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish, optional

Method
 

  1. Cook the spaghetti or linguine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque.
  4. Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juice), Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
  5. Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
  6. Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet with the shrimp and tomato mixture. If the pasta seems dry, add a little reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
  7. Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves if desired.
