Fusilli

🍝

Grain · Italian · Global

Starch and gluten provide the foundational structure of this corkscrew pasta shape. The aroma is characterized by a mild earthy profile, while the taste profile remains subtle across all axes, featuring very low levels of sweetness, umami, and fat to ensure neutral compatibility with a wide range of global ingredients and sauces.

Dry-pan sautéed until golden; adds a nutty depth to the pasta before simmering in broth or sauce.

04

Chilled

Rapidly cooled after boiling; essential for cold deli-style pasta salads containing crisp vegetables and fresh herbs.
