Cooking the Pasta
Advertisement
While the shrimps are cooking, it’s time to prepare the spaghetti.
- Cook Spaghetti: Drop the spaghetti into the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions until al dente.
- Reserve Pasta Water: Before draining the spaghetti, reserve a cup of pasta water. This starchy liquid will help create a silky sauce later on.
Bringing it Together
Now comes the exciting part – bringing everything together into one harmonious dish.
- Combine: Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet with the shrimps and tomatoes.
- Toss: Gently toss everything together, ensuring the pasta is well coated in the flavorful sauce.
- Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, or more lemon juice if needed.
- Use Pasta Water: If the sauce seems too thick, gradually add some of the reserved pasta water to loosen it up.
