About Half cup of fussilli pasta
Half a cup of fusilli pasta is a versatile and satisfying choice with roots in Italian cuisine. Known for its spiral shape, fusilli is commonly made from durum wheat semolina, offering a moderate source of complex carbohydrates that provide energy. It contains small amounts of protein and is low in fat, making it a staple for balanced meals. While plain fusilli is cholesterol-free, its healthfulness depends on preparation—pairing it with heart-healthy olive oil, vegetables, or lean protein enhances its nutritional profile, while creamy sauces and excess cheese can add unhealthy fats. Fusilli is a good option for moderating portion sizes, and its texture works well in salads or warm dishes. Those looking for more nutrients can opt for whole-grain or lentil-based versions, which provide extra fiber and protein. Its mild flavor and versatility make fusilli pasta an ideal element for diverse and health-conscious recipes.
