About Spirelli

Spirelli, commonly known as spiral pasta or fusilli, is a popular variety of pasta characterized by its twisted, spring-like shape. Originating from Italy, it is a versatile staple in Mediterranean cuisine, often paired with rich tomato sauces, creamy alfredo, or fresh pesto. Made primarily from durum wheat semolina, spirelli is a good source of carbohydrates, providing energy and supporting brain function. While it contains minimal fat and no cholesterol, its nutritional profile varies depending on the preparation. Whole grain versions offer added fiber and essential nutrients, supporting digestive health and heart wellness. Traditional white pasta has lower fiber content and should be consumed in moderation especially when paired with heavy, calorie-dense sauces. For a balanced meal, serve spirelli with lean proteins, fresh vegetables, and olive oil for a nutrient-rich, flavorful dish inspired by healthy Italian traditions.
