Published by July 18th, 2008 in 4 Stars, Easy Preparation, Giadia de Laurentiis, Italian, Kid Approved, Pasta, Salad and Vegetarian. 0 CommentsMy version of Fusilli Caprese is based on Giada’s recipe. I added more tomatoes, basil, and cheese to my version, and Giada’s recipe recipe doesn’t have the crushed red pepper in it. I think it needs that little bit of heat, otherwise the dish is lacking something. I made the dish without the crushed red [...]
