Purtomatino Shrimp and Pasta



Don't let the purple color of this dish fool you...this flavorful, creamy tomato and vino based sauce is quite the treat! With an aftertaste of red wine this dish is great paired with a glass of vino!


Ingredients:
Leftover Red Wine, 1/2 cup Milk, 1/4 cup Greek Yogurt or Sour Cream, Italian Seasoning, Parsley *Optional, Garlic Salt, Black Pepper, Crushed Red Pepper Flakes, Peeled, De-veined Shrimp, Tomato Sauce/Paste *Make your own, Angel-Hair Pasta *your preference, 2 White Onions *1 in the States would be fine, 5 Cloves of Garlic



-   Boil Pasta in salted water. 
 -  In a spoonful of olive oil, sauté the garlic and chopped onions. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian Seasoning. *Use a deep, big pan because the sauce will get thick.
-  After about 5-7 minutes when onions are translucent, add thawed shrimp.
-  Cook for only 1-2 minutes and add about ½ cup/1 glass *1 glass is easier for me to estimate of red wine :)
-   Let simmer and reduce for about 5 minutes.
-   Add 1 cup of your choice of tomato sauce.*I prefer homemade
-   Season with crushed red pepper flakes, garlic salt, pepper, freshly chopped parsley *or dried.
-   Cover and let simmer for about 5-10 minutes.
-   Mix in pasta.
-   Serve. Garnish with fresh parsley *I did not garnish as fresh herbs are hard to find in Haiti and I am waiting on my aerogarden to grow my own fresh herbs! Great with a side of quick, homemade garlic bread. *A piece of toast with butter and garlic salt.

Jonathan's recommendation: Fresh parmesan on top!
Mardigan's recommendation: A drop of the sauce is worth the wait...focus...focus...Keep your eye on the fork!
