How to Make Fusilli With Spinach And Asiago Cheese

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fusilli pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente (about 8-10 minutes), stirring occasionally.
  2. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water before draining.
  3. While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant (about 1 minute).
  5. Add the chopped spinach and halved tomatoes to the skillet. Cook until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes soften (about 3-5 minutes).
  6. Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss to combine.
  7. Stir in the Asiago cheese, salt, and pepper. Gradually add the reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Asiago cheese if desired.
