Cooked white fusilli is a type of spiral-shaped pasta made from refined wheat flour, water, and often enhanced with nutrients like iron or B vitamins. Originating from Italy, fusilli is a versatile staple in Mediterranean cuisine, frequently paired with rich tomato sauces, creamy Alfredo, or fresh pesto. While it serves as a quick source of energy due to its carbohydrates, the use of refined white flour makes it lower in fiber and protein compared to whole-grain pasta. It is low in fat and cholesterol-free, making it a neutral addition to most diets. However, when consumed in excessive amounts or paired with calorie-heavy sauces, it may contribute to weight gain or blood sugar spikes for individuals with diabetes. For a healthier option, pair fusilli with vegetable-rich toppings and lean proteins to enhance its nutritional profile and support a well-rounded meal.
