Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Fusilli pasta
- 6 pieces Fresh figs
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 120 milliliters Reserved pasta water
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fusilli pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 120 milliliters of pasta water and then drain the rest.
While the pasta is cooking, slice the figs into quarters and set them aside.
Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the fresh rosemary to the skillet and stir for another 30 seconds to release its aroma.
Gently place the sliced figs into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing them to caramelize slightly. Stir occasionally but carefully to avoid breaking them apart.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the reserved pasta water. Add the cooked fusilli pasta to the skillet, tossing gently to coat in the sauce.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and toss again to combine the flavors evenly.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle with the lemon zest for a fresh finish.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional rosemary sprigs or more grated Parmesan if desired.
