Fusilli comes from Campania and belongs to the family of short, straight pastas. In the past, fusilli was prepared by hand using a method that was passed down from generation to generation. To do this, you had to quickly twist a strand of spaghetti onto a knitting needle with a skilled hand. The skill required to perform this procedure resembles that of spinners, and, in fact, the term "fusillo" comes from "fuso" (spindle), which was a tool used by spinners. This pasta is especially good with meat and fish based sauces or ricotta seasonings. It also goes well with vegetable sauces, which are made from tomato sauce with pepper, eggplant, olives and capers. Supplied in 500g packs Cooking time: 11 min - Al dente: 9 min
