We like nuts and seeds very much. That is the reason why I collect a lot of open packages with different nuts in my cupboard. But what should I do with this very small amounts?

When I read the recipe Pasta “Cosa nostra” from Petra (Chili und Ciabatta) I thougt: Yes, that is the perfect recipe for me.

But when I checked my stock I realise, that I had everything else, but not the ingredients the recipe asked for. So I had to be creative. The result is simple but delicious. With a salad and a glass of white wine it is a perfect start into the weekend.

• 1 Tbs pine nuts
• 1 Tbs pumpkin seeds

Cook the fusilli according to the instructions on the packet. In the meantime roast the nuts in a pan untill golden, keep stiring while roasting. Mix the nuts with the oil, then add Parmesan and nuts to the noodles and mix well. Season with Fleur de Sel and pepper.
