One of my favorite meals that I go to over and over again. It’s fast, easy, and tasty.

Ingredients
Scale
- 16 oz. fusilli pasta
- ¼ cup pine nuts, toasted
- Half of a 3.8 oz. can sliced black olives, drained
- Half of a 15 oz. can garbanzo beans, drained
- 12 oz. jar bruschetta topping or sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 oz. Grana Padano or good Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package directions.
- While pasta is cooking, toast the pine nuts (or skip this step if you bought already toasted nuts). I like to do this in a small (6-inch) cast-iron skillet, but any small skillet will work. Toast them on low heat until lightly browned, watching very carefully to be sure they don’t burn.
- In a small saucepan, combine pine nuts, black olives, garbanzo beans, and bruschetta sauce, with salt and pepper to taste. Heat sauce to boiling; then reduce heat to low and simmer until pasta is ready.
- Drain cooked pasta and toss with bruschetta sauce and half of the grated cheese. Use remaining cheese to garnish each serving.
