Creamy Fusilli Pasta

Do you know what's good things about retail supermarkets? you get more options more choices to choose from...when you go there intending to buy say 5 products but ending in the bill counter with 15 products !!! (Shopaholic?) That's what happen to me 2 days ago. So we ended up in buying this new food item which we never used to prepare at home.

Hmm.. I have read somewhere that they really design the pasta (technically speaking) shapes. And this pasta variety called Fusilli can observe the sauce little bit more so your pasta can be saucy and juicy at every byte. Well I have tasted this pasta only few times at restaurants and started digging through net for recipe and couldn't find anyone matching my taste profile.. So I picked some main ingredients and started the recipe. Well ladies its all about how you want your food to taste so adjust accordingly and you never actually need special ingredients to prepare this dish. Buon appetito!
