Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- 8 ounces linguine
- 8 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
- Grated cheese (such as Parmesan), for garnish
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Tomato Sauce:
- In a large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the minced garlic and sautรฉ until fragrant, about 1 minute. Be careful not to let the garlic brown.
- Stir in the crushed tomatoes and season with the crushed red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Reduce the heat to low, add the dried basil and oregano, and cover the saucepan. Let the sauce simmer for 30 to 60 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens and the flavors meld together. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.
-
Cook the Linguine:
- While the sauce simmers, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook according to the package instructions, typically 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Drain the pasta and set aside.
-
Cook the Seafood:
- In a large skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over high heat. Add the shrimp and monkfish to the skillet. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the shrimp turn pink and the monkfish is opaque and cooked through.
-
Combine and Serve:
- Transfer the cooked shrimp and monkfish to the simmering tomato sauce. Stir well to coat the seafood with the sauce and allow it to cook together for an additional 5 minutes, or until the sauce begins to bubble.
- Add the cooked linguine to the skillet, tossing gently to combine all the ingredients. Make sure the pasta is well coated with the sauce.
-
Garnish and Enjoy:
- Serve the Shrimp & Monkfish over Linguine hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley and a sprinkle of grated cheese if desired. This dish pairs beautifully with a crisp white wine or a light rosรฉ.
