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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
While the pasta is cooking, slice the figs into quarters and set them aside.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Add the fresh rosemary to the skillet and stir for another 30 seconds to release its aroma.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and toss again to combine the flavors evenly.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle with the lemon zest for a fresh finish.
Step 9
Serve immediately, garnished with additional rosemary sprigs or more grated Parmesan if desired.
