One can imagine how difficult it is going to be to ”chew upon” this Pasta, with a name so exotic that it is almost impossible to digest. With a splash of the green of beet and the white of goat cheese in this appetizing Pasta, we find it rather interesting to note that the dish has a pretty colorful past as well. The name of this Pasta celebrates the 1994 caricature by Barsotti which showed a ‘noodle’ calling his friend ‘Fusilli’, a “crazy bastard”.<\/p>\n
Fusilli, a twisted pasta, used with a twist, is sure an exotic dish with an eccentric name.<\/p>\n

1 lb Fusilli<\/p>\n
3 garlic cloves (sliced)<\/p>\n
1\/2 lb beet leaf, roughly chopped<\/p>\n

1.This goes for any dish that includes Pasta. After boiling the pasta, run it under cold water to remove all the starch coated around it.<\/p>\n
2. A ”green” tip is to save the been stems and extra leaves. Use them in another dish. Do not throw them away as they have vitamins in them!<\/p>\n\n
