Al Bronzo Fusilli with Broccoli, Tomatoes & Chili

30 minutes total

Blanched and seared broccoli, chili flakes and tomatoes paired with Al Bronzo Fusilli pasta make the perfect elegant weekend meal.

This recipe separates broccoli into small florets, and blanches them by placing the broccoli into boiling water for a minute, then subsequently placing the broccoli into an ice bath allowing it to maintain color, flavor and texture.
The key to flavoring this dish is to allow the olive oil to take on the flavor of the aromatics. The whole peeled garlic should be allowed to pick up a hint of color before adding the chili flakes and tomatoes.
Barilla Al Bronzo pasta is made by extruding dough through a bronze die that is micro engraved. This gives the pasta a rougher texture, allowing pasta sauces to perfectly adhere to our beautifully crafted pasta.
