| 1. In a large saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter over moderately low heat. Add the onion, garlic, red pepper flakes and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. | 2. Add the tomatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, until thick, about 45 minutes. Stir occasionally during cooking. | 3. During the last 10 minutes of cooking, put a large pot of water on the stove and bring to a boil, getting ready for the pasta. | 4. Mash the tomatoes with a potato masher until all large pieces are broken up. (Original recipe says to run through a food mill, but I don't think it's necessary) | 5. Add the heavy cream and bring the sauce to a boil over moderate heat. | 6. Add the shrimp and basil and cook just until the shrimp are pink, about 4 minutes. | 7. Add salt to the pot of boiling water, then add the pasta. Cook until the pasta is just done, about 3 minutes. Drain. | 8. Toss the pasta with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. | 9. The original recipe says to serve the pasta topped with the sauce, but we like to just mix it all together in the pot and serve already coated. | 10. You can pass freshly grated parmesan at the table, if desired. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
