Made the same way it has been made for generations, using just 2 simple ingredients: high-quality, carefully selected durum wheat and water to create the authentic Italian taste. Making Italy's best pasta for over 140 years, Barilla's classic Fusilli originated in southern Italy and was inspired by the idea of winding spaghetti around a knitting needle.ÊSince then, Fusilli has been reinterpreted and given its characteristic spiral shape, which is now more typical of central and northern Italy.
Full-bodied with just the right consistency, Fusilli is suitable for rich recipes with meat or green sauces like pesto but can also be served cold as part of a salad with high-quality olive oil. Use it to give your tuna salad an update or make a delicious Sicilian Fusilli with anchovies, eggplant, olives, chilli and more.
Barilla Fusilli cooks in just 11 minutes. Simply bring water to a boil in a large pot, add the Fusilli, and a generous pinch of sea salt to the cooking water to enhance the pasta's flavour. For authentic "al dente" pasta, boil uncovered, stirring occasionally for 11 minutes. For pasta that's more tender, boil for an additional minute. Drain well and serve immediately with your favourite Barilla sauce.
