Suggestions for use
Fusilli is always the right choice. You cannot go wrong with fusilli! This pasta adapts perfectly to rich meat or vegetable sauces, but also reveals its multiform personality in fresh salads, with diced vegetables, spices, or fish. The best dressings cling harmoniously amidst the spiral fins, accompanied by the velvet tones of raw extra virgin olive oil, with enveloping, delicate sensations.
When pasta was handmade, fusilli was produced by a method passed down from mother to daughter. It was an acquired skill: spaghetti was twisted around a knitting needle with a swift gesture by expert hands. The ability was reminiscent of that of the spinners, and in fact the name "fusilli" comes from "fuso", the wool spinner's spindle. Today, Bella Italia maintains the values which animated those movements, reproducing and conserving the characteristics of taste and tradition.
