Ingredients: (2-3 Servings)
250g Spaghetti noodles (linguini are best for this dish)
500g cocktail tomatoes
60g butter
10 basil leaves
4-6 large gloves of garlic
1 tbsp olive oil
50ml white wine
1 tsp sugar
pinch of salt and pepper
hand full arugula (optional)
(200-250g of shrimps optional)
Let's start cooking:
This whole dish starts with the garlic
Wrap it up it some foil or baking paper and pop it either unpeeled or peeled into the oven for 15 minutes at 200°C
In the meantime, if you using shrimps make sure they are peeled and that they are properly cleaned (Tip: If you are using frozen shrimps, defrost them by throwing them in lukewarm water and switching it every few minutes until they are soft)
Bring a pot of water to a boil and add in 2 tbsp of salt, the water should me really salty
When it starts to boil add in your noodles and cook by the package instructions
Prepare the cocktail tomatoes by washing them and cutting them in half place them by side we will need them later again
By now the garlic is done, it should be very soft and smell sweet and garlicky
With the side of your knife crush the garlic and mince it until it forms a paste
In a large pan melt your butter on low heat as we don't want to brown the butter
Now add in your garlic paste and tomato and let it simmer on low heat
The tomatoes should soften up and let out all of their juices, then sprinkle in the sugar
Don't forget your noodles they must be done so take them out, strain them and place them by side
If your using shrimps then now is the time to add it into the pan together with 3-4 tbsp of white wine
Season with some salt and pepper and slowly stir in your noodles
The sauce should really stick to the noodles and look creamy
Serve with some arugula on top or stir it in before that's to your preference
Don't forget to pour on a little of olive oil and serve with some parmesan
Enjoy!
