De Cecco Pasta Fusilli No. 34 3 kg

Fusilli come from Campania and belong to the short, straight cut family of pasta. In the past, fusilli were made by hand according to a method that was passed down from one generation to the next. This involved rapidly twisting a strand of spaghetti around a knitting needle with a skilled hand. The ability required to perform this procedure is reminiscent of that of spinners, and the term "fusillo" comes from "fuso" (spindle), which was the tool used by spinners. This pasta is particularly good with meat and fish-based sauces or with condiments made with ricotta. It is also perfect with vegetable sauces prepared with a tomato sauce, peppers, aubergines, olives, and capers. Available in 16 oz and 5 lb packs.
