Shrimp Pasta with Garlic and Basil Sauce




I got this recipe from a guy whose father used to own an Italian Restaurant.
Ingredients
1/2 box spaghetti, angel hair, or linguine Pasta
1 TB extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves of garlic, lightly crushed
1 tsp fresh parsley
1 tsp dried basil
1 lb fresh shrimp, peeled
1/4 cup white wine
Coarsely ground black pepper, to taste
 1/2 tsp sea salt
28 oz diced or crushed tomatoes
garnish with plenty of freshly grated Parmesan
  
Procedure
  1. Heat a large skillet on medium high heat and add the oil and the garlic.
  2. As soon as the garlic turns a light golden brown, add the white wine, salt, tomato, a teaspoon of parsley, basil, and pepper to taste. When sauce is well blended, toss in all of the thoroughly washed shrimp and simmer all together for 10 minutes. 
  3. Cook pasta while sauce is simmering.
  4. Finally, add cooked pasta to sauce and toss until well coated, or serve sauce and shrimp over cooked pasta.
