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.
Serves 4-6

NOTES: I mix a little corn starch with some of the cooled sauce and
add at the end to thicken.
