GIADA'S FUSILLI WITH PECORINO ROMANO AND BLACK PEPPER
My daughter and I saw Giada whip this up her show, Giada At Home. My daughter insisted we make it for dinner and boy am I glad we did. We all enjoyed it very much. The smooth and creamy sauce is seasoned perfectly and a bit spicy with pepper. I didn't add any extra salt because the grated cheese tends to add enough salt for me. I cut back on the pepper just a bit but it is necessary so be sure to add it.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but still firm to the bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Reserve 3/4 cup of the cooking liquid, then drain the pasta.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large, high-sided skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Remove the garlic and discard. Add the spinach and 2 teaspoons pepper, and cook until the spinach has wilted, about 1 minute.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and add the pasta. Add the Pecorino Romano cheese and 2 teaspoons each salt and pepper, and toss until coated. *I did not add salt.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the reserved cooking liquid and the mascarpone cheese until smooth. Pour over the pasta and toss until coated. Season with salt, if desired.
- Transfer the pasta to a large bowl and serve.
- Serve with sliced summer tomatoes and a crusty bread.
