submitted by Tom

Ingredients
  • 1 pound of Fettuccini
  • ¼ cup + 3 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 ¼ pound of shrimp
  • 1 medium head radicchio, core removed, roughly chopped
  • Sea Salt
  • Fresh ground pepper
  • 4 to 6 teaspoons Aceto Balsamico (aged balsamic vinegar)
Cooking Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook for 2 minutes less than the package directs. Drain, retaining ¼ cup of the cooking liquid. Put the pasta in a bowl and toss with 3 tablespoons of olive oil. In a large, straight sided sauté pan over medium heat, heat the ¼ cup olive oil until hot but not smoking. Add the garlic and red-pepper flakes and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the shrimp and cook for 5 minutes, until opaque. Add the radicchio and sauté until it begins to wilt. Add the reserved ¼ cup of pasta water and the fettuccine. Season with ½ teaspoon of salt and ½ teaspoon of fresh pepper. Cook for about 2 minutes more, tossing to combine. Divide among bowls. Drizzle each serving with a generous amount of high quality extra-virgin olive oil, a sprinkling of sea salt and freshly ground pepper, and 1 teaspoon of aceto balsamico.
