Ingredients

  • 12 ounces fusilli or other spiral shaped pasta
  • 5 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2/3 cup pine nuts toasted
  • 2/3 cup chopped drained oil packed sun-dried tomatoes (about 3 ounces)
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese ( about 1 1/2 ounces)

Method

  • Cook fusilli pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite. Drain pasta well. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in heavy large skillet over high heat. Add pasta and fry until beginning to crisp at edges, stirring frequently, about 10 minutes. Transfer pasta to large bowl.
  • Add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to same skillet, add toasted pine nuts and sun dried tomatoes and stir over high heat until just warmed through about 1 minute. Pour pine nut mixture over pasta. Add chopped parsley and grated parmesan cheese and toss to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
