My take on an old-style Italian Restaurant favorite

• Ready In: 40 mins
• Serves: 2

Ingredients

• 8  ounces linguine
• 1  tablespoon olive oil
• 1  teaspoon  minced garlic
• 1⁄2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1⁄2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1⁄4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 (15 ounce) can  diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1⁄4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 3⁄4 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
•  salt

Directions

1. In a 10 inch skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic and saute for about one minute.
2. Add herbs and seasonings, allowing dried herbs to "bloom" in the oil for a few seconds. Add the tomatoes and their juices.
3. Stir and taste for seasoning. Bring tomatoes to a simmer, cover, and simmer over medium-low heat while pasta cooks, about 10 minutes or so.
4. Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions.
5. About five minutes before you are ready to serve, stir the shrimp into the tomato sauce and cook until shrimp are pink and firm, about 5 minutes.
6. Divide drained pasta into two pasta bowls and spoon sauce over pasta. Serve at once.
