How many people can describe what Fusilli pasta looks like?
Fusilli (also called pasta twirls) is a small, thick, corkscrew shaped pasta. The word fusilli means “little spindles” in Italian. Green and red varieties of fusilli (or any pasta) are created by using spinach or beet juice, respectively, instead of water. There are also whole wheat versions of fusilli available. Fusilli is not to be confused with the short, flattened, twisted pasta known as rotini. Sources: http://en.wikipedia.
The corkscrew shaped pasta is often used in salads, as well as with many other dishes. Most people only knew this food as macaroni or pasta, not as Fusilli Pasta. Sources: Information came from MiamiHerald.com.
