Fusilli is a popular spiral-shaped pasta originally from Italy, celebrated for its ability to hold sauces in its twists. Made primarily from durum wheat semolina and water, fusilli is a versatile ingredient in Mediterranean cuisine, often paired with tomato-based sauces, pesto, or creamy dishes. It provides essential carbohydrates, making it a good source of quick energy, and contains trace amounts of protein and fiber. Whole-grain fusilli offers additional nutritional benefits, including higher fiber content and key vitamins such as B vitamins. However, traditional fusilli can be calorie-dense, especially when paired with heavy sauces or cheeses, so portion control is key for a balanced diet. Its shape and texture make it perfect for pasta salads, baked dishes, and hearty meals. Whether enriched or whole grain, fusilli is a staple in kitchens worldwide, merging taste with tradition.
