This is the prefect pasta dish to make during summer when tomatoes are in their prime and you don’t want too much heat in the kitchen.
This is really fresh, simple and just the way I like to eat. You could substitute fresh bocconcini for the parmesan if you like. The fusilli are the perfect shape pasta to trap all the flavour of the vinaigrette into their grooves, but you can substitute any pasta type you have on hand.
