About Fusilli
Fusilli is a type of spiral-shaped pasta originating from Italy, traditionally made from durum wheat semolina and water. Its twisted design makes it ideal for holding onto sauces, making it a favorite in a variety of Italian dishes. Fusilli can be found in both regular and whole-grain varieties, with the latter offering higher fiber content and more nutrients. This pasta is a good source of energy, thanks to its carbohydrate content, and serves as a blank canvas for nutrient-dense toppings like vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. However, its nutritional profile can vary widely depending on preparation, as creamy sauces or heavy cheeses may increase calorie and saturated fat content. For a healthier option, pair fusilli with light olive oil-based sauces or tomato-based options and a generous serving of vegetables.
