Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the fettuccine. Cook until al dente, following the package instructions.

Step 2

Meanwhile, cut 1 inch off the bottoms of the asparagus. Use a vegetable peeler to trim away the tough outer layer of the asparagus, beginning about 1 inch below the tender tip. Cut the asparagus on an acute angle to create 2-inch-long slices. Set aside.

Step 3

3. Warm 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large sauté pan set over medium high heat.

Step 4

Add the shallots, garlic, red pepper Alakes, parsley, and basil and cook, stiring frequently, to flavor the oil with the aromatics, about 1 minute. Stir in the asparagus and shrimp, and season with salt and pepper.

Step 5

Cook, stirring and tossing frequently, until the shrimp are pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the wine and cook until it evaporates, about 1 minute.

Step 6

Add the tomatoes and return the sauce to a gentle boil. Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Gently toss to coat the pasta with the sauce.

Step 7

Serve immediately, placing the shrimp decoratively on top of the pasta and drizzling with additional extra virgin olive oil.
