🍽️ Taste and texture
✔️ Flavour: neutral, with a slight grainy note – the perfect base for various sauces.
✔️ Texture: firm ‘al dente’ when cooked, with a textured surface that holds sauce well.
🍳 Uses in the kitchen
Fusilli pasta is very versatile:
✔️ Meat sauces: Bolognese, ragù or chunks of meat.
✔️ Creamy sauces: with mushrooms, cheese or cream.
✔️ Pasta salads: with tomatoes, olives, pesto or tuna.
✔️ Vegetable dishes: with grilled vegetables and herbs.
💡 Tip: Fusilli goes brilliantly with sauces that ‘get caught’ in the spirals of the pasta – try pistachio pesto with cherry tomatoes or tomato sauce with basil.
