Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

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)

Steps:

  • Cook fusilli pasta in large pot of boiling 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 and serve.

The sauce was a bit too oily for my liking. I would recommend using less olive oil or draining the tomatoes before adding them to the sauce.

This recipe is a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt or omitting the pancetta altogether.

I'm not a big fan of pine nuts, so I used sliced almonds instead. They worked great!

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the pancetta from this recipe. It was still delicious!

This pasta dish is a great way to use up leftover sun-dried tomatoes. I always have a jar in my pantry, so this is a go-to recipe for me.

I'm not usually a fan of sun-dried tomatoes, but they were surprisingly good in this dish. The sweetness of the tomatoes paired perfectly with the salty pine nuts.
