Knorr Collezione Italiana Pasta Fusilli Spirals, 3 kg

Product Information

Fusilli ( Italian: [fuˈzilli]) are a variety of pasta that are formed into corkscrew or helical shapes. However, while any pasta is a simple and delicious dish, there’s an overwhelming amount of noodles you can cook to make your pasta dish. Our pasta is Vegan and we make a huge effort to be sustainable; using green energy and selling our pasta in 100% recyclable paper packaging! Create great tasting traditional Italian dishes with these authentic Italian fusili style catering pasta spirals.

Cook fresh fusilli for three to four minutes or until al dente (tender with a slight bite in the middle); cook dried fusilli for seven to 10 minutes. These noodles add heartiness to soups, stews, and casseroles, and their flat shape makes them the ideal vehicle for cream sauces. Fusilli is often served with thicker sauces like meat sauces and heavy cream sauces, since the grooves in the pasta trap sauce.Rinsing with cold water is an important step to stop the cooking process of pasta so it will continue to have a firm bite and remain “Al Dente”. To make more rustic fusilli, roll a small dough ball into a strand about six inches long and then wind it around the skewer to dry. From indulgent chocolate treats to fruity trifles, you’re sure to find whatever it is you’ve been craving. Although I love spaghetti and lasagne pasta, I’ve often been disappointed by other pasta shapes, despite having had the privilege to taste in some of the best restaurants in Europe and elsewhere.

In the past, Fusilli were made by hand according to a method that was passed down from one generation to the next. Stuff large shells with cheese and bake, like you would with manicotti, use medium-sized shells in casseroles and with meat sauces, and use the smallest shells in soups and stews. The word fusilli comes from “fuso” meaning spindle—a spindle rod is traditionally used to spin the strips of pasta into a spiral shape. For example, it’s most commonly used in ragu or bolognese, but it’s also great for seafood pasta dishes.The moisture from your cheese and sauce is enough to rehydrate the noodles without having to cook them separately before you bake. Like penne, the ridges and gaping center will trap sauce, so every bite is cheesy and creamy and flavorful.

They’re best when cooked with creamy sauces that only have very small-sized chunky ingredients, if any at all.

Cavatappi (also known as cellentani) is an excellent stand-in for fusilli bucati since it is hollow and twisted. These kid-friendly pastas look like smooshed corkscrews and are often used for pasta salad since bits of vegetables will cling to the grooves in the rotini.
