Wash produce before use

1

Cook the fusilli

Bring a medium sauce pot of generously salted water to a boil. Separate the fusilli so the noodles don’t clump together during cooking. Add the fusilli and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain the fusilli, reserving ¼ cup [½ cup] pasta cooking water.

Return the fusilli to the pot, stir in the trapanese pesto and reserved pasta cooking water, and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. While the water is heating and the fusilli is cooking, prepare the basil and salad. 

2

Prep the basil; make the Italian salad

  • Trim the root end from the romaine heart; coarsely chop the leaves. 
  • Strip the basil leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves for garnish. 

In a large bowl, stir together the Italian vinaigrette base and 2 tablespoons [¼ cup] oil. Add the romaine and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 

Serve

Transfer the fusilli to individual bowls and garnish with the basil and Parmesan. Serve the Italian salad on the side.
