Fusili in Tomato sauce (with a twist) instructions

In a pot of boiling water, add 2 large fistfulls (about a cup) of fusili. Since I use whole wheat, it takes about 10 minutes to cook al dente..
To a mixer/ hand blender jar, add the tomatoes, salt, garlic, almonds, cranberries and capers. Blend to a coarse paste. Go to step 3..
Once the pasta is cooked, reserve about a cup of the pasta water and drain the rest. wash the drained pasta with cold water and keep aside..
Add the pasta water (about 1/2 a cup) to the sauce in step 2, and blend again till slightly smoother..
In a pan, add the sauce and the pasta. Add the paprika powder, and more salt if required. Boil for about 2 minutes on high, or till the sauce thickens very slightly (this happens almost immediately)..
Add the chopped basil leaves and serve hot with herbed toast..

Add pasta to skillet with sauce along with butter and ½ cup pasta cooking liquid. Don't be afraid if, once you finish caramelizing the tomato paste and you add the cream, you have a greasy, separated puddle. Fusili with mushroom in tomato sauce. by vanillaechoes.
