Pasta Fusilli with Toasted Pine nuts


~Pasta Fusilli with toasted pine nuts~
This recipe is great for meatless Mondays! It's one of my favorite and it's so incredibly easy. If you have never had sun-dried tomatoes you are really missing out they give this dish a sweet twist and the pine nuts are packed full of protein.




12 oz Organic Fusilli pasta
5 TB Olive Oil divided
3/4 cup toasted pine nuts
1 Jar about 1 Cup ( the more the better!) Oil-Packed sun-dried tomatoes drained and chopped
1/4 Cup Fresh Chopped Parsley
1/8 Cup Fresh Chopped Basil
3/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese
Salt & Pepper

Heat Large Skillet over Med-High heat, add 3 TB Olive oil , get it nice and hot then pour cooked pasta into it and fry it up pressing pasta down with a spatula. Remove once pasta begins to brown. Pour into serving dish , using the same hot pan add 2 TB of olive oil pour in the pine nuts and sun-dried tomatoes cook for 1 min. Pour over pasta, add Basil, Parsley and Parmesan cheese. Toss well season with Salt and Pepper... Enjoy! great for parties!
