Fusilli is a spiraled pasta originating from Italy, celebrated for its ability to hold sauces effectively due to its twisted shape. Traditionally made from durum wheat semolina and water, fusilli provides a steady source of energy through its carbohydrate content. It contains essential nutrients such as B vitamins, iron, and protein, making it a versatile option for balanced meals. Whole wheat or enriched varieties offer added fiber and micronutrients, supporting digestion and heart health. While fusilli itself is low in fat, the overall healthiness depends on preparation; pairing it with nutrient-rich vegetables, lean proteins, and light sauces boosts its benefits, while heavy cream-based sauces or excessive cheese may increase calorie and fat content. Fusilli is a staple in Mediterranean cuisine and can be incorporated into salads, baked dishes, or hearty meals, making it a convenient and satisfying choice for diverse diets.
