This was a great, easy dinner that was ready in 15 minutes. I simplified, since it is 18 degrees here, by just adding uncooked shrimp into the tomato sauce just before done. I also added about 1/4 cup pasta water to thicken the tomato sauce. Unfortunately, basil is not listed in the ingredient list. I used dried but would have preferred fresh. I was a little heavy handed with the cheese; I tossed some in and topped with additional. Loved the whole wheat linguine with this as it stood up very well. For photo tag.
