Directions

 Heat the olive oil in a one-quart soup pot; stir in the onion and cook until the onion softens.  Stir in the garlic and the red pepper flakes.  Stir in the canned cherry tomatoes, half the basil leaves, sugar and red wine.  Cover and simmer the sauce for 30 minutes.  Stir in the salt and keep the sauce warm while the fettucine is cooking.

Cook the fettucine in 8 cups of salted boiling water until al dente.  Drain and transfer the pasta back to the pot; pour the sauce over the pasta, then add the shrimp, the rest of the basil leaves, the halved cherry tomatoes.  Cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until the shrimp are cooked.

Transfer the pasta to a platter.  Serve hot.
