Penne with Shrimp and Herbed Cream Sauce

Directions

1Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the pasta and set aside.

2In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, garlic, 1/2 tsp of salt, and 1/2 tsp of pepper. Cook, stirring frequently until the shrimp turn pink and is cooked through, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the shrimp and set aside.

3Add the tomatoes, 1/4 cup basil, 1/4 cup parsley, and the red pepper flakes. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the wine, clam juice and heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 7 to 8 minutes until the sauce thickens. Add 1/4 cup parmesan, the cooked shrimp, cooked pasta and remaining herbs. Toss together until all ingredients are coated. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.

4Transfer the pasta to a large serving bowl. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and serve immediately.
