2. Cooking Directions

  1. In a food processor or blender, combine the tomatoes, garlic, oil, salt, and pepper and puree. Add the basil and pulse just to mix.
  2. In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the fusilli until just done, about 13 minutes. Drain the pasta and toss with the sauce and the Parmesan cheese. Let sit for about 1 minute to allow the pasta to absorb some of the liquid. Serve with additional Parmesan.

Yield: 4 servings

3. Still Hungry?

For this light, uncooked sauce, you must have perfectly ripe tomatoes. Be sure they're at room temperature, too, not cold. In fact, tomatoes shouldn't be refrigerated at all; chilling permanently reduces their flavor.

    Try replacing the fresh tomatoes with canned diced tomatoes, or stewed tomatoes. Experiment with those stewed in Italian seasoning versus the plain variety.

    To make it more filling, try adding some browned Italian ground sausage to the cooked pasta before adding the sauce.
