Organic Fusilli Pasta
What it is
This is a package of organic fusilli pasta. Fusilli is a type of pasta that is shaped into corkscrew or helical forms. The organic designation means it is made from ingredients grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. It is a dry pasta product, ready to be cooked.
How people cook with it
This pasta is a versatile base for many dishes. It holds sauces well due to its shape.
- With marinara sauce
- In pasta salads
- With pesto
- In baked pasta dishes
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 is tender but still has a slight bite. Drain the pasta well, reserving some of the cooking water. Toss immediately with your chosen sauce or other ingredients.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to smoother pasta shapes like spaghetti, fusilli's twists and turns are excellent at trapping and holding onto sauces, especially chunkier ones. Its shape also provides a pleasing texture in the mouth.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a classic pasta shape for everyday meals.
