Fusilli Bucati with Radicchio Sauce Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 pound fusilli bucati pasta
• 1 head of radicchio, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the fusilli bucati pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente, according to package directions.
2. While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil and garlic in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped radicchio and sauté for 5-7 minutes until the radicchio is wilted and starts to caramelize.
3. Remove the radicchio mixture from the heat and blend it in a blender or food processor until smooth.
4. Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and save 1 cup of pasta water for later.
5. Return the drained pasta to the pot and add the radicchio sauce. Toss the pasta to coat well with the sauce. If the pasta seems too dry, add some of the saved pasta water to adjust the consistency.
6. Add the grated parmesan cheese, salt and pepper to taste and toss again to combine well.
7. Serve hot and garnish with more grated parmesan cheese if desired.
