Curly pasta, often known as rotini or fusilli, is a versatile type of pasta characterized by its spiral-shaped design, which effectively holds sauces and seasonings. Made primarily from durum wheat semolina and water, curly pasta is a staple in Italian cuisine but has gained popularity worldwide due to its texture and adaptability. It pairs well with hearty tomato sauces, creamy dressings, or vegetable-based toppings. As a source of carbohydrates, it provides energy but should be consumed in moderation, especially in refined forms. Whole-grain versions offer added fiber, which aids digestion and promotes heart health. While curly pasta is typically low in fat and cholesterol, its healthiness depends greatly on the preparation method and accompanying ingredients. Choose lighter sauces and veggies for a balanced meal, and keep an eye on portion size for optimal nutrition.
