1
Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fusilli pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
2
Prepare the Sauce
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced pancetta and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
3
Add Garlic and Tomatoes
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the halved grape tomatoes and cook until they start to soften, about 3-4 minutes.
4
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the cooked fusilli to the skillet, tossing to combine. If the mixture is too dry, gradually add reserved pasta water until the desired consistency is reached.
5
Season and Serve
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves.
