Preparation

In a pan at medium temp, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and cook the onion and garlic for 5 minutes. Stir often.
Add the spinach and cook for 2 minutes. Deglaze with the white wine and stir well.
Add the tomatoes, sriracha, tomato paste, parmesan and salted herbs then season with pepper. Stir well and simmer for 15 minutes, breaking tomatoes apart as much as you can. Taste and rectify seasoning if necessary.
Meanwhile, bring a big pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta al dente as per instructions on the box. Drain well and set aside.
When there is 5 minutes left to the sauce, cook the shrimps! In the pasta pot at medium temp, heat a drizzle of olive oil and pour in the shrimps. Sprinkle a couple of pinch of garlic salt and cook for a couple of minutes until pink.
Add the pasta and the sauce in the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes while stirring it all. We want the sauce to stick to the pasta!!! Remove from heat and let absorb 2-3 minutes before serving. Garnish with a ton of fresh parmesan and some fresh parsley.

Our sommeliers suggest

Allegrini Valpolicella

A recipe with spicy accents and tomatoes? We calm it down with a red Italian with hints of dark fruits and flowers. Oh, and we serve it chilled a bit! See the product

Sand d'Encre, Trou du Diable

This dry stout with a taste of grilled, coffee, cocoa and caramel will melt with the aromas of tomato sauce. The light acidity of the beer will evoke that of the tomatoes in sriracha sauce. See the product

*Pairings are suggestions. If you can't find the exact product, substitute for the same type of beer or varietal blend from the same region. Feel free to ask a consultant for help!
