Step 1
Cook the 8 oz spaghetti in salted boiling water until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.
Step 2
While pasta cooks, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Add 1/2 lb shrimp to the skillet and cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove shrimp and set aside.
Step 4
Pour 1.5 cups tomato sauce into the skillet. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 5
Return shrimp to the sauce, add the drained spaghetti, and toss to coat, adding reserved pasta water if needed. Sprinkle with 2 tbsp parsley and serve.
