Steps:
- Set a large 1-gallon stock pot of water to a boil and add the kosher salt. Place the linguine in the pot and stir the pot until the water returns to a boil. Cook the pasta until tender, but with a bit of resistance (al dente), about 12 minutes. Drain and reserve 1/2 cup pasta water.
- While the pasta cooks, prepare the sauce. Set a 12-inch saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the butter and olive oil to the pan. Once the butter has melted, season the shrimp with 1 tablespoon of the creole seasoning and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and add the shrimp to the pan. Sear the shrimp until well browned on both sides, about 2 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Add the onions and jalapenos to the pan and saute until the onions are softened and lightly caramelized, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic to the pan and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the cream, remaining 1 tablespoon of creole seasoning, remaining 1 1/4 teaspoons of the salt and the pepper to the pan and bring to a boil. Cook the sauce until the cream is reduced by half, about 2 minutes.
- Return the shrimp to the pan, and add the tomatoes, linguine and the reserved cooking water to the pan and cook, tossing to incorporate for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove pan from the heat and add the Pepper Jack, Parmesan and basil and toss to blend. Serve immediately.

SPICY TOMATO CREAM SAUCE PASTA W/ ITALIAN SAUSAGE

Steps:
- 1. While cooking sauce cook your pasta al dente and drain. Dice and caramelize onion in butter. Add Italian sausage to onions and brown. If in casings remove from casings. When sausage is browned add garlic and cook for another minute or two. Drain excess fat if you want to. I leave it in and dish does not come out greasy.
- 2. Add chicken broth to sausage mixture and simmer for about 5 minutes. Now add crushed tomatoes, paste, salt, pepper, and a heaping tablespoon of cajun seasoning (if wanting it milder just add a teaspoon or two and use mild sausage). Let simmer for a few more minutes. Add heavy cream and simmer for a couple of minutes.
- 3. Now add pasta and parmesan cheese to sauce and let simmer for 5 minutes. We prefer this recipe with mostaccioli pasta, but I have made it with several different types of pasta and it has been good with all of them. So just use your favorite.
- 4. This recipe started from TRACY JOYNER's recipe on here. As I stated in the description I have combined a couple of recipes with Tracy's to come up with this. I wanted to make sure Tracy got credit for being the inspiration of this dish.

Tips
- Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This will give your sauce the best flavor. If you can, use fresh tomatoes from your garden or a local farmer's market. You can also use canned tomatoes, but make sure they are high-quality tomatoes that have been packed in a BPA-free can.
- Roast the tomatoes before you make the sauce. This will help to concentrate their flavor and give the sauce a deeper, richer color. To roast the tomatoes, simply toss them with a little olive oil and salt and pepper, and then roast them in a preheated oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes, or until they are slightly charred.
- Use a good quality cream. The cream is one of the main ingredients in this sauce, so it's important to use a good quality cream. Look for a cream that is thick and rich, and that has a high fat content. You can also use half-and-half or evaporated milk, but the sauce will be thinner and less creamy.
- Season the sauce to taste. Every palate is different, so it's important to season the sauce to your own taste. Start with a little salt and pepper, and then add more to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or Italian seasoning.
Conclusion
This spicy tomato cream sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's perfect for pasta, pizza, chicken, fish, or vegetables. The sauce is also easy to make, and it can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for later use. When you're ready to serve the sauce, simply reheat it over low heat until it is warmed through. You can then serve it immediately. Enjoy!
