Fuslli 500g (La Bella San Marzano)

Fusilli is a type of Italian pasta that is easily recognizable by its corkscrew or spiral shape. This unique twist allows it to capture and hold onto sauces, making each bite flavourful. Fusilli is traditionally made from durum wheat semolina and water, creating a firm texture that maintains its shape during cooking.

The spiraled design of fusilli makes it an excellent match for a variety of sauces, particularly those that are thicker or chunkier, such as pesto, tomato-based sauces, or creamy preparations. The grooves and curves catch bits of herbs, cheese, and vegetables, ensuring the flavours cling to the pasta. Fusilli can also be used in cold pasta salads, adding a fun, textured element. Its name comes from the Italian word "fuso," meaning spindle, as the pasta was traditionally formed by spinning strips of dough around a thin rod.
