Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Roasted Tomato Pasta with Shrimp and Feta.
Step 1
Start by bringing a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil.
Step 2
Once it’s bubbling, add the linguine and cook it according to the package instructions until it reaches that perfect al dente texture, which usually takes about 8 to 10 minutes.
Step 3
While the pasta is cooking, grab a large skillet and heat some olive oil over medium heat.
Step 4
As the oil warms up, toss in the minced garlic and sauté it for about a minute, just until it becomes fragrant and fills your kitchen with a delightful aroma.
Step 5
Next, add the shrimp to the skillet, stirring occasionally as they cook.
Step 6
You’ll know they’re ready when they turn a lovely opaque color, which should take around 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to bring in the fire-roasted tomatoes.
Step 8
Pour them into the skillet and let everything simmer together until heated through.
Step 9
To elevate the flavors, season the mixture with freshly chopped basil, a pinch of salt, and a dash of pepper to taste.
Step 10
Once your pasta is cooked to perfection, drain it and add it directly to the skillet.
Step 11
Give everything a good toss, ensuring the pasta is beautifully coated in that savory sauce.
Step 12
For the finishing touch, serve your pasta topped with crumbled feta cheese, adding a creamy, tangy contrast that takes this dish to the next level.
Step 13
Enjoy your delicious creation, and savor every bite!.
