Fusilli With Spinach And Asiago Cheese

I was watching Giada a few nights ago and saw this pasta dish that I was excited to try out because it called for spinach and tomatoes two things that I needed to use up quick before the went bad and I was SO glad that I did because it was yummy!! The entire family gobbled it up and it paired nicely with the asparagus and salad that I had made with it.  Definitely a repeat recipe in the future! Oh and it is like the easiest thing to make on the planet! As a heads up I had to add the spinach after a minute of the garlic cooking, if I had waited two minutes like the recipe said the garlic would have burnt so keep an eye out for that.:)

Ingredients

• 1 pound fusilli pasta
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 (9-ounce) bag fresh spinach, roughly chopped
• 8 ounces (1/2 pint) cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cup (about 3 1/2-ounces) grated Asiago
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain pasta reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid.

Meanwhile, warm olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the spinach and tomatoes and cook until the spinach wilts, about 2 more minutes. Add the cooked pasta and toss. Add the cheeses, salt, pepper, and the pasta cooking liquid and stir to combine.

Transfer the pasta to a serving plate and serve.

Thanks Giada:)
