De Cecco No. 34 100% Organic Fusilli; 0.75 Pounds; 12 Per Case

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. You had to rapidly twist 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 as a matter of fact, the term "fusillo" comes from "fuso" (spindle) which was the tool used by spinners. This pasta is particularly good with meat and fish based s or with condiments made with ricotta. It is also perfect with vegetable s too that are prepared with a tomato with peppers, aubergines, olives and capers.
