Ingredients

6 ounces pesto, ¾ cup
16 ounces fusilli
1 cup pasta water, reserved
Grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the fusilli and boil according to the package directions. Once the pasta is ready, reserve 1 cup of pasta water.
Pour half of the reserved pasta water into the bowl with the pesto and pasta. Use kitchen tongs to combine the sauce. Add more pasta water slowly until the pesto coats all of the noodles and you like the consistency of the sauce. I typically use between ¾ and 1 cup of water total.
