Ingredients
- 8 oz whole grain spaghetti
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 14.5 oz diced tomatoes, no salt added
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 12 oz large shrimp, peeled and deveined

- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper

Instructions
Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Cook the whole grain spaghetti according to the package instructions for al dente. Drain and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and saute for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Stir in the crushed red pepper flakes and cook for another 30 seconds to release the flavors.
Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir to combine, bringing the mixture to a simmer.
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper. Let it simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are pink and cooked through.
Stir the cooked spaghetti into the sauce, tossing well to coat all the pasta with the spicy tomato mixture.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the fresh parsley and lemon juice for a burst of freshness.
Divide the pasta evenly among four plates. Serve immediately and enjoy!
