To cook, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the fusilli and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until al dente, which means it should be tender but still have a slight bite. Drain the pasta well, reserving some of the cooking water. Toss immediately with your chosen sauce or dressing. The reserved water can be used to help emulsify the sauce and coat the pasta evenly.
