Fettucine Soup with Shrimp

By charlotteh371

Ingredients

• 2 cloves of garlic
• 20 cherry tomatoes, skins removed, deseeded and chopped
• hot chile flakes
• salt
• brown sugar
• 1 cup half and half
• fresh parsley
• shrimp
• parm
• pepper
• linguine or fettucine

Preparation

Step 1

heat two tablespoons of butter in a saucepan on medium heat. Add 1 clove of garlic degermed and minced. OK, I added more, I love garlic. Saute for two minutes until golden.
Add 20 cherry tomatoes sliced in half. Considering they are $4 a tiny container at my store right now I picked up two hot house tomatoes for $2 (OMG, produce is just so expensive!), removed the skins, deseeded and chopped. I added a small pinch of hot chile flakes, salt and brown sugar. I sauteed everything for around five minutes.
was dividing the recipe in half when it comes to the sauce so I added 1 cup of half and half instead of two with some fresh parsley, chopped. I brought to a slow boil over medium heat and then immediately turned it down to medium-low.


I threw in some shrimp and some grated Parm with some salt and pepper, stirred and simmered for five minutes. Five minutes? That did not seem a long time to reduce the sauce and I was using half the liquid.
I did not have fettuccine so I used linguini instead. I like to cook it a little in the sauce to make sure everything is coated.
