WW Recipe: Pasta Fra Diavolo (w/shrimp)

2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 (28 oz) can diced tomatoes
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons dry red wine
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4-1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
1/2 pound linguine

1. In a large nonstick saucepan over medium heat, heat the oil. Add the onion and garlic; cook, stirring frequently, until golden, about 8 minutes.

2. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, wine, sugar, salt, and red pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, until the flavors are blended and the sauce is slightly thickened, about 20 minutes. Stir in the parsley.

As usual, I also threw in a big handful of baby spinach to add more veggies


3. Meanwhile, cook the linguine (I used whole grain spaghetti) according to package directions. Drain and divide evenly among 4 plates. Spoon the sauce over linguine.

I added peeled and deveined shrimp (3/4 lb) into the simmering sauce for added protein.
