              - (optional)   
       
     Bell Pepper Sauce:   
        
     In a medium sauce pan, heat the oil until you see ripples on the   
     surface. Once the oil is hot, take off the pan from flame and add   
     mustard seeds, cumin, ginger, and chiles to it. Wait for 10 seconds   
     and return the pan to the flame. Be careful while doing so since   
     mustard seeds splutter a lot. Saute for about a minute or so until   
     the seeds crackle and the chillies and ginger turn light brown but do   
     not burn. Next, add the garlic, chopped red bell pepper, and tomatoes   
     to the pan and saute for about 8 to 10 minutes on medium heat until   
     soft but not mushy. Turn off heat and cool. Tip the cooled pepper &   
     tomato mixture to a blender or a food processor along with the   
     peanuts, cilantro, sugar, and salt. Blend to desired consistency   
     (smooth to chunky) to make a sauce. Set aside.   
        
     Yield: 1-1/2 Cups   
        
     Pasta:   
        
     Cook the fusilli in salted water as per package instructions. Drain   
     and set aside. Reserve about 1/2 to 3/4 cup cooking water.   
        
     In a heavy bottomed pan, add olive oil & butter along with whole   
     garlic clove and red chilli flakes. Cook on extremely low heat so   
     that garlic & chilli flakes don't burn but release flavor for about 3   
     to 5 minutes. Continuing on low heat, add the chopped shallot and   
     saute for 2 to 3 minutes until translucent. Pick up and discard the   
     garlic clove at this point from the pan.   
        
     Add the prepared bell pepper chutney to the pan along with about 1/4   
     cup of reserved pasta cooking water warm everything up on medium heat   
     for about 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to low next and add heavy   
     cream to the pan along with salt to taste and ground black pepper.   
     Let cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Next, add the cooked fusilli   
     along with blanched vegetables and shredded protein (if using) to the   
     pan. Toss everything together. At this point, you may add more of the   
     reserved pasta cooking water, depending on how thick or thin you want   
     the sauce. Remove from heat, check and adjust the seasoning.   
        
     Serve the pasta warm with a generous sprinkle of parmesan shavings and   
     chopped parsley, if you like.
