INGREDIENTS

1.5 oz whole wheat spaghetti

8 oz raw shrimp

0.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

2 cloves garlic

0.5 cup marinara sauce

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

0.25 tsp red pepper flakes

1 tbsp fresh parsley

PREPARATION

• 1

  Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole wheat spaghetti until al dente, about 8-9 minutes.

• 2

  While the pasta cooks, pat the raw shrimp dry with a paper towel and season them evenly with the sea salt and black pepper.

• 3

  Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for 1 minute until the aroma fills the kitchen.

• 4

  Place the shrimp in the skillet in a single layer and cook for 2 minutes per side until they are pink, opaque, and slightly curled.

• 5

  Pour the marinara sauce into the skillet with the shrimp and stir gently, allowing it to simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce is heated through and bubbling.

• 6

  Reserve 2 tablespoons of the pasta water, then drain the spaghetti and add it to the skillet, tossing thoroughly to coat every strand in the sauce.

• 7

  Remove from heat and garnish with the freshly chopped parsley before serving in a warm bowl.
