Cooking Steps
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve 1/4 cup of the starchy cooking water before draining, then set it aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add diced pancetta and sauté for about 4-5 minutes until crispy and golden. Remove the pancetta and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.
- Season the shrimp with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. In the same skillet, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until opaque. Remove the shrimp and set aside.
- Add a drizzle of olive oil if needed. Sauté the minced shallots and garlic for 2-3 minutes until shallots are translucent.
- Pour in the white wine, scraping the browned bits from the skillet. Simmer for about 2 minutes to allow the alcohol to evaporate.
- Crush the whole peeled tomatoes and add to the skillet. Stir to combine and let the sauce simmer for about 10 minutes until thickened.
- Return the cooked linguine to the skillet, adding the reserved pasta water. Add the shrimp, pancetta, fresh basil, lemon zest, and asiago cheese. Toss together over low heat for 2-3 minutes.
- Plate the dish and garnish with additional asiago cheese and fresh basil or parsley. Serve warm.
