INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 8 ounces dry fettuccine pasta
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 sweet onion, cut into wedges
  • 3 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 medium tomatoes, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup spinach leaves
  • 1 pound cooked shrimp - peeled and deveined
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, diced

DIRECTIONS

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the pasta, and cook for 8 minutes, or until tender. Drain.

Add the onion mixture; cook and stir until fragrant and almost golden. Mix in the tomatoes, basil, salt and pepper. Simmer for about 5 minutes while the pasta is cooking, stirring occasionally.
