What it is
This is a type of dried pasta shaped like corkscrews. It is made from durum wheat semolina and colored with natural ingredients like tomato and spinach. The three colors – yellow, red, and green – are visually appealing and add a festive touch to dishes. It is a versatile pasta shape that holds sauces well.
How people cook with it
Fusilli tricolore is a fun and colorful pasta that works well in many types of dishes. Its shape makes it ideal for catching sauces and other ingredients.
- Pasta salads
- Baked pasta dishes
- Sauced pasta meals
- Kid-friendly dinners
To cook, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the fusilli tricolore and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until al dente, which means it is tender but still has a slight bite. Drain the pasta well, reserving some of the cooking water. Toss immediately with your favorite sauce, oil, or butter to prevent clumping. The pasta can also be added to soups or used in cold pasta salads.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain fusilli, this version features three distinct colors. This visual difference comes from the addition of natural vegetable extracts, such as tomato for red and spinach for green, while the base pasta remains yellow. The shape and texture are otherwise similar to standard fusilli.
