Linguine with Shrimp in a Spicy Marinara Sauce ( Linguine alla Fra Diavolo )

Notes:

This is an adaptation of "Sally's Quick Sauce" from my cookbook, "Festa del Giardino: A harvest of recipes and family memories". With the addition of hot pepper flakes and a pound of fresh large shrimp it becomes a special entree for a summer dinner party menu.
