Fusilli served with tomato sauce, cherry tomatoes and fresh basil.
When the bright colour of tomatoes, the aroma of basil and the twists of fusilli meet on one plate, simple ingredients make it easy to create an inviting meal. The spiral shape gives the sauce different surfaces to cling to, bringing tomato and pasta together in every bite.
To make the sauce, cook chopped tomatoes with olive oil and a little garlic. Add halved cherry tomatoes for a variety of textures. Cook the fusilli for the time indicated on its pack. Before draining, reserve a little cooking water; add it as needed when tossing the pasta with the sauce in the pan to adjust the consistency.
Add the fresh basil at the end and stir the pasta gently into the sauce. Finish with grated cheese and black pepper if you wish, and serve with a simple green salad. This dish made with Nur Makarna Fusilli is a lovely starting point for anyone who wants to bring the pleasure of cooking to the table without lengthy preparation.
