Topsail White Shrimp Spaghetti
8 ounces thin spaghetti
1 teaspoon olive oil
3/4 cup chopped onion
8 ounces already peeled raw shrimp
1 tablespoon bottle minced garlic
1/4 cup dry white wine, such as Chardonnay
1 container (10 ounces) refrigerated light Alfredo sauce*
1 cup seeded and finely chopped Roma tomatoes (about 3 large)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
Cook pasta according to package directions. When cooked al dente, drain well.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a 10-inch or larger skillet over medium heat. Add onion and stir and cook for 2 minutes. Add shrimp and garlic. Stir and cook just until shrimp begin to turn opaque, about 4 minutes.
Add wine and stir well. Add Alfredo sauce, tomatoes and basil. Stir until thoroughly combined and heated through. Serve immediately over cooked pasta.
