1/2 onion, chopped
1/2 tesp thyme
1/2 tesp cayenne pepper
Salt & pepper
1/2 tesp basil
1 clove chopped garlic
1 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
1 tesp Tabasco sauce
2 C. diced peeled and seeded tomatoes
1/2 C. green onions, chopped
3 C. chicken or shrimp stock
1 lb. vermicelli pasta or linguine
1 lb. fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined (can substitute chicken)

Saute the onion in the olive oil for approximately four minutes. Add the garlic and stir. Add thyme, cayenne and black peppers, and basil and cook at low heat for five more minutes. Add everything else except for the pasta, shrimp, and cheese, and cook over lowish heat for an hour. Saute the shrimp in some butter and garlic until three-quarters cooked (pink, but not totally opaque). Add the sauce and cook for an additional two minutes. Add the cooked pasta and toss well with the grated cheese. Serve hot.
