Fusilli Pasta for Adults, 16 Oz

Originating from Campania, Fusilli belongs to the family of short, straight-cut pasta. In the past, Fusilli was crafted by hand, a technique passed down through generations. This process involved rapidly twisting a strand of spaghetti around a knitting needle, requiring skilled dexterity akin to that of spinners. The term "fusillo" is derived from "fuso" (spindle), the tool used by spinners. This pasta pairs exceptionally well with meat and fish-based sauces, as well as ricotta-based condiments. It also complements vegetable sauces made with tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, olives, and capers.

Since 1886, de Cecco has taken pride in its pasta-making process. The company gently grinds the heart of each grain, blending it with cold spring water and slowly kneading the dough. This meticulous approach results in pasta with the exceptional de Cecco aroma, flavor, and consistency. The pasta cooks to perfection, with a firm texture and a delicious "fresh" taste. Its rougher surface helps the sauce adhere better.

De Cecco's commitment to tradition has not wavered, but the company has continuously improved its production technologies. The pasta is bronze-drawn and slowly dried at low temperatures to preserve its nutritional properties. This ensures that the pasta falls onto the plate imbued with taste, texture, and the perfect "al dente" bite.

Available in 16.0 oz and 5 lb packs, de Cecco Fusilli is a 100% Durum Wheat Semolina pasta, made in Italy. It is GMO-free and Kosher, with a cooking time of 11 minutes (9 minutes for al dente). Experience the delicious short spiral-shaped pasta, crafted with care and passion, for your most amazing dishes. Buon Appetito!
