Chef Mario Carbone told me that this penne with spicy shrimp reminds him of the southern Italian seafood pastas that he grew up eating with his family in Queens.

It was time to start cooking! First, I got a pot of salted water boiling.

Then I placed a sauté pan over medium heat and added some olive oil and the garlic.

I brought my shrimp and sauce to a simmer, then removed my pan from the heat.

Per Carbone's advice, I sprinkled bread crumbs on top before taking my first bite - and the penne was so delicious and light.
