Pasta With Shrimp Pomodoro Sauce image

This is nice and light for a pasta dish, and quick to put together. For your basic pomodoro sauce to serve anytime with pasta, simply omit the shrimp. I do think the choice of canned tomatoes is extremely important, and effects the overall quality of the sauce. I definitely use imported Italian tomatoes, preferably San Marzano.
