For a richer flavor, use San Marzano tomatoes. Adjust the amount of chile peppers to your desired level of spiciness. A splash of dry white wine added to the sauce along with the tomatoes can add depth of flavor. Serve with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. Fresh basil can be substituted for parsley.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package directions, until al dente (approximately 8 minutes).
02
Step
5 mins
While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, and garlic and sauté until softened (3-5 minutes). Stir in the diced chile peppers and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing their flavor to infuse the oil.
03
Step
3 mins
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn pink and opaque (about 3 minutes). Be careful not to overcook them.
04
Step
5 mins
Stir in the chopped tomatoes and parsley. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to soften and release their juices.
05
Step

Season the sauce with lemon juice, sugar, salt, and pepper to taste. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Drain the fettuccine, reserving about 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Toss the fettuccine with the shrimp mixture. If the sauce seems too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water to loosen it up.
