Champagne Shrimp Over Pasta

I've been itching to make this one since I saw it on allrecipes.com (my faaaavorite recipe site!), but always forgot the champagne when at the liquor store. I finally remembered it during last week's trip and made it tonight for the boy and myself. He didn't get home until 7:30 and I knew it was one of those dishes that wouldn't reheat well, so the kids were stuck eating grilled cheeses while we enjoyed this. We LOVED it and definitely will add it to the rotation! The original recipe calls for plum tomatoes and sauteed mushrooms to be added with it, but the boy won't eat the 'shrooms and neither of us are big tomato people.

8 ounces angel hair pasta
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined

4. To serve, spoon shrimp with sauce over pasta, and top with Parmesan cheese.
