Lazy Night Spaghetti

** I used 2 eight ounce cans of tomato sauce because that is what I had, but if you have a medium sized can of tomato sauce go ahead and use it!

First, cook the shrimp on low to medium heat in a skillet with a little olive oil. Cook the shrimp until they are opaque/pink. Remove from heat and chop the shrimp into small pieces. Put it back in the skillet and place to the side off of the heat. Then chop the artichoke heart roughly into small pieces and put it along with the shrimp in the same skillet on low heat with a little more olive oil and your crushed peppers. Cook this mixture only for about 2 minutes to allow the shrimp and artichoke to heat up and become fragrant.

During this process you can start boiling the water for the pasta to save on time. ( I have this skill called multi-tasking that I learned from watching sooo many cooking shows.)

In a saucepan, set on low heat, pour in your tomato sauce along with the Italian seasoning and powders. Let this simmer until warm.

In the meantime, freshly grate your cheese. I love freshly grated cheese. Add a tablespoon of this cheese to the simmering shrimp and artichoke mixture. After it has melted turn the heat off and add 2 tablespoons of your tomato sauce to the shrimp mixture (just to let them have a lasting bond!).

After you have cooked your pasta, pour the shrimp into the pasta and add half of your tomato sauce. Toss and add more cheese. Then if you like the consistency save the rest of the sauce. If you want it more sauce-y add more sauce. You get the picture!

Enjoy!
