This pasta is a foundation for many delicious meals. It pairs well with a variety of sauces and ingredients.

To prepare, 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 tender but still firm to the bite. Drain the pasta thoroughly. It is also excellent added to soups or casseroles.

Fusilli's spiral shape creates nooks and crannies that trap sauces more effectively than smoother pasta shapes like spaghetti. This allows for a more flavorful bite with every forkful. It also holds its shape well during cooking.
