Step 5

Heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat for one minute or until extremely hot, add tomatoes and cook until they begin to get slightly charred. Remove and keep warm.

Step 7

Top with cherry tomatoes and a spoonful of ricotta cheese. Garnish with thinly sliced basil.

Gemelli

Gemelli is a simple shape of two strands of pasta twisted together. These small pasta twists are also remarkably versatile, as their shape holds the flavor of sauce beautifully while retaining the firm "al dente" texture that you expect from Barilla. Barilla^® Gemelli is made with non-GMO ingredients. For more information, please read our position.
