Ingredients

1 pound linguine
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup small diced onion
3 tablespoons minced garlic
2 to 3 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
1 1/2 cups canned tomato sauce
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 1/2 pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined with tails removed
1 teaspoon salt, plus more for pasta water
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, optional

Directions

Bring a large 1-gallon pot of salted water to a boil, and place the pasta in the pot. Cook for 5 minutes and then drain; pasta will be only partially cooked. As the pasta cooks, set a 14-inch saute pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the onions to the pan and cook until lightly caramelized and wilted, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic to the pan and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the red pepper flakes and saute briefly before adding the tomato sauce and tomato paste. Cook the sauce until reduced by about half, about 5 minutes. Add the shrimp to the pan and cook for 2 minutes. Add the partially cooked pasta to the pan along with 1 cup of the pasta cooking water and continue to cook the pasta in the sauce until al dente, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season the pasta with the salt and garnish with the parsley. Toss to combine and serve with grated Parmesan, if desired.

oohhh so good
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I used about 1/3 of the garlic called for and added a little white wine to the sauce, and it turned out delicious! 2 tsp of... crushed red pepper was just right for me and my boyfriend (though he could definitely handle a lot more). I guess it depends on the person!Read more

Great dish, amazing shrimp, too spicy
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I thought this dish was very yummy. It was unfortunate that the red pepper was so overpowering, my husband and I didn't eat... it. The way the dish is cooked is great. I am definately going to make this again but use maybe a half a tsp of red pepper flakes. I love spicy food and two teaspoons was too much for me.Read more

Easy, but just okay
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

This was very quick and easy to prepare, but the overall result was merely good, not great. To those who found this recipe... to be too spicy, bear in mind that diavolo means devil in Italian and a Fra Diavolo sauce is, by definition, quite hot. I normally have a taste for spicy food, but found that even 1 ? tsp. of chili flakes made the dish almost too spicy. If I were to make it again, I?d only use 1 tsp., but I?m more likely to try a different recipe next time.Read more
