Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 pints grape tomatoes - approximately 4 cups
- 2 cloves fresh garlic - chopped finely
- ¼ cup white wine
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- ¼ cup fresh basil - roughly chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
- shredded parmesan cheese for serving - *optional
- 1 recipe Easy Garlic Baked Shrimp
- 1 box gluten free pasta, cooked al dente - I like Barilla brand
Instructions
- In a large frying pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add tomatoes, season with salt and pepper and let them cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. They will begin to burst open, help them along by gently pressing on them with the back of your spoon or spatula.
- Add the garlic, wine and sugar. Stir to combine. Let it cook for another 2-3 minutes to soften the garlic. Taste and re-season if needed.
- Turn off the heat and add the basil to the tomato mixture and give it a stir. The sauce is ready to pour on top of cooked pasta or warmed zucchini spirals and you are ready to serve! Sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan cheese if you wish. Add Easy Garlic Baked Shrimp for a complete meal!
