Ingredients
US
Metric
- 7¾ oz peeled shrimp
- 6⅓ oz fusilli
- 5 oz spinach
- 0.4 g black pepper
- 1.6 g kosher salt
- 1 oz Parmesan
- 8½ oz canned crushed tomato
- 8 g fresh basil
- 2 g fresh oregano
- 2 clove garlic
- 1⅛ tbsp olive oil
Steps
- Bring 8½ cups water to a rolling boil and salt it with about 8 g salt. Add 6⅓ oz fusilli and cook until tender with a firm center, about 11 minutes. Reserve a mug of the water, then drain.
- Season 7¾ oz peeled shrimp with a little salt. Cook it in a wide skillet with a spoon of the sauce's oil or butter until pink and opaque, about 2 minutes. Target temperature: just opaque and pink. Add 5 oz spinach and cook until just tender.
- Add the rest of the sauce ingredients to the skillet and simmer 3 to 5 minutes. Loosen it with a splash of the reserved pasta water if it looks thick.
- Toss the drained fusilli with the sauce in the skillet. Fold in 1 oz Parmesan. Add more pasta water a spoon at a time until the sauce clings. Serve immediately.
