Garofalo Fusilli Pasta, 16-Ounce: 4-Pack

The word "Fusillo" is a southern Italian term that refers to a type of pasta resembling a spindle used to shape it in a spiral form. To achieve this shape, a knitting needle was traditionally employed. Fusilli can come in both long and short varieties, with the pasta sheets being cut into stripes approximately 20 cm in length and then hand-rolled around the needle.

In different regions of Italy, fusilli are known by various dialectal names, such as "curls" in Calabria, "incannulate" in Puglia, "turcinateddi" or "fusiddi" in Sicily, and "maccarones a ferritus" in Sardinia. Historically, women were skilled in the art of making fusilli, a tradition that continues to this day in Gragnano, the city renowned for its production of macaroni. Some families have even transformed this craft into a small business, selling fusilli during holidays or upon request.

The product being described is a pack of four 16-ounce packs, totaling 64 ounces of short-cut pasta. This pasta is a product of Italy, reflecting the rich culinary heritage and traditions of the country.
