    Meanwhile, bring sauce to a simmer. Stir in shrimp and simmer until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

    Step 4

    Add spaghetti to sauce and toss to coat. Transfer to large bowl. Sprinkle with additional chopped fresh basil. Serve, passing Parmesan separately.
