About Twist pasta
Twist pasta, often referred to as fusilli, is a versatile and spiraled pasta shape originating from Italian cuisine. Traditionally crafted from durum wheat semolina and water, it boasts a firm texture that pairs well with various sauces, from rich tomato blends to creamy pestos. Whole-grain or gluten-free options are also available, catering to specific dietary preferences. The spiral grooves effectively hold sauces, enhancing flavor with every bite. Nutritionally, traditional twist pasta is a good source of energy due to its carbohydrate content, though refined versions may have fewer fibers. Whole-grain varieties offer additional health benefits, including higher fiber and nutrient content, which support digestive health and sustained energy. While delicious, portion control is important to balance calorie intake, especially when paired with high-fat sauces. Perfect in salads, casseroles, or as a main dish, twist pasta is a delightful and adaptable staple for diverse meals.
