Ingredients:

1 pound vermicelli or linguini pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh garlic
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried basil

2 tablespoons sugar
3 cups chicken broth

1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup chopped green onions

Directions:

  1. Cook pasta according to packaging; drain and set aside.

  2. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook 4 minutes, until softened. Add garlic, thyme, cayenne, pepper, and basil; cook on low for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. Add hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, tomato, sugar, and broth. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook 30 minutes, until liquid is reduced by half.

  4. In a separate small skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Add shrimp and cook 2 minutes, until light pink. Add to pasta sauce and cook 5 minutes, stirring to combine thoroughly. Add the cooked pasta and toss well with the grated cheese. Serve topped with fresh grated cheese and green onions.

Serve this wholesome pasta with a side of steamed broccoli or a green salad. Red wine works best with the tomato sauce; try Chianti or Zinfandel.

My family and I absolutely loved this recipe.

Review by Linda on May 2nd, 2011:

This was really good! Mistake was not starting the pasta early enough and ended up cooking the shrimp a little too long. Will definitely make again!

I made this yesterday for my fiance for valentines day. At first I was skeptical because it sounded kind of bland and looked like it would be flavorless, but it was delicious, my fiance loved it and it turned out to be a wonderful dinner.

Review by Jordan on February 16th, 2012:

Little too soupy and only 1 2/3 chicken broth. Next time use less.
