For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

  • to taste

To prepare, start by boiling the fusilli pasta until al dente. In a separate pan, heat olive oil and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add halved cherry tomatoes and cook until they start to burst. Season with salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes for a spicy kick.

Once the tomatoes have cooked down, add the cooked fusilli pasta to the pan and toss to coat the pasta in the flavorful sauce. Tear fresh basil leaves and sprinkle them over the pasta. Give everything a good stir to combine all the ingredients.

For kitchen tools, you will need:

  • large pot
  • pan

  • cutting board

The approximate weight of the cooked dish is 700g, with 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 175g and has an estimated calorie count of 300.

One unique tip for this dish is to finish it off with a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a sweet and tangy finish. It adds an extra depth of flavor that will elevate the dish to the next level.

I encourage you to give this Spicy Tomato Basil Fusilli a try and make it your own by adjusting the spice level or adding your favorite veggies. Enjoy!
