Rummo Fusilli with Brown Rice and Corn
What it is
This is a type of pasta made from a blend of brown rice and corn flour. It is designed to offer an alternative to traditional wheat-based pasta. The combination of these grains provides a different texture and flavor profile. This pasta is suitable for those seeking plant-based options or looking to diversify their pantry staples with grain alternatives.
How people cook with it
This fusilli is a versatile pasta shape that works well in many dishes. It can be served hot or cold in salads.
- Tossed with pesto
- Mixed into pasta salads
- Served with a light tomato sauce
- Baked in casseroles
To prepare, bring a large pot of lightly 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 and rinse with cool water if using in a cold salad, or serve immediately with your chosen sauce or dressing. It absorbs flavors beautifully.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional durum wheat pasta, this fusilli is made from brown rice and corn. This results in a slightly different chew and a nuttier, earthier flavor. The texture can be a little softer when overcooked compared to wheat pasta, so precise cooking is key.
How to keep the rest
Once opened, store the remaining fusilli in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Ensure it is sealed properly to maintain freshness and prevent moisture absorption. This will keep the pasta from becoming stale or attracting pests.
