Pasta with shrimps and garlic

There is a type of food, which can be said that there such an amount of right recipes as much as people prepare it. Pilaf, pancakes, cutlets of minced meat, dishes, born in those countries where the spirit of the family hearth is strong, and geography dictates the basic rules of cooking. The same can be said about pasta. After trying one dish in some of the cities of Italy, you will never see the same 100 km away. And any Italian will honorably defend the position of the best chef in the world for his mother. The recipe below — just an idea, nothing concrete. Italians can disagree with something, but in one thing we will definitely be with them in solidarity: the dish should be simple, and the products must be fresh.

Then you should have about 1-2 min till readiness of pasta.

When pasta is ready, fold it in a colander, leaving some water, where it was boiled. Remove pan from heat, add pasta, 3-4 tbsp of water and mix well.
