Pasta lovers, you’re going to want to sit down for this one. We’ve got a recipe for Fusilli au four that is going to knock your socks off. This delightful dish is an Italian favorite, and we’ve got a little twist on it that will have you saying “bellissimo” in no time. First up, let’s talk about the star of the show: the fusilli. This lovely little pasta is perfect for this dish, as it’s just the right size and shape to soak up all the delicious sauce. And speaking of sauce, you’re going to love the creamy, dreamy goodness that encompasses every bite. To start off, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Next, grab a large pot and fill it with water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then add a generous pinch of salt. Once the water is boiling, add your fusilli and cook until al dente (usually around 8-10 minutes, depending on the brand you use). While your pasta is cooking, let’s get started on the sauce. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add some minced garlic and cook until fragrant (this should only take a minute or two). Next, add a can of diced tomatoes in their juice, and stir everything together. Let the sauce bubble away for a few minutes, then add a cup of heavy cream. Stir everything together until it’s well combined, then let the sauce simmer for a few more minutes until it’s thick and creamy. Once your fusilli is cooked, drain it and add it to the skillet with the sauce. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated in the sauce. Now it’s time to transfer everything to a large baking dish. Spread the pasta out in an even layer, then sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese on top. Pop the baking dish into the oven and let it bake for about 15-20 minutes, until the cheese is golden and bubbly. Ingredients: - 1 pound (450g) fusilli - 1 tablespoon olive oil - 3 garlic cloves, minced - 1 can of diced tomatoes in their juice - 1 cup of heavy cream - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese - Salt and pepper Instructions: 1.
