A simple but beautiful dish. The Fusilli al Pomodoro is like a cuddle in your stomach, and it is always a joy to eat! Serve it with some grated parmesan cheese and a couple of basil leaves on to, and you will be set!
It is also a great option for a Sunday lunch, and it pairs perfectly with grilled meats, salads, or even some garlic bread.
This recipe is done with fusilli, but spaghetti works very well too.
