Tuscan Rotini Pasta

This Tuscan Rotini Pasta is simple, hearty, and full of Italian-inspired flavor. Tender rotini spirals are tossed with vegetables, Parmesan, and a drizzle of Borsari Extra Virgin Olive Oil, then finished with Borsari Tuscan Rosemary Sage Seasoning. It’s quick enough for weeknights but delicious enough to serve for family dinners or gatherings.

• Roast the vegetables instead of sautéing for a deeper flavor.
• For a creamier version, stir in a spoonful of ricotta or mascarpone before serving.
