How to Use
Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil, add the fusilli, and cook 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain and toss immediately with your sauce; the spiral grooves hold basil pesto, sun-dried tomato, or a chunky marinara especially well. It also works cold in pasta salads with olive oil, olives, and roasted vegetables. Store the unopened bag in a cool, dry pantry.
About Pasta Toscana
Pasta Toscana is an artisan Italian pasta brand rooted in the agricultural traditions of Tuscany, Italy. Each shape is made from premium Tuscan Durum Wheat Semolina and shaped through traditional bronze dies, which leave a rough, porous surface that ordinary Teflon-extruded pasta does not have. The pasta is then slow-dried using traditional methods to preserve flavor and texture. Browse more Italian staples in our Pasta collection. Learn more at pastatoscana.com.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Pasta Toscana Fusilli contain allergens?
Yes. Pasta Toscana Fusilli is made from durum wheat semolina, so it contains wheat and gluten. No separate facility allergen statement is listed on this product, so anyone with a wheat allergy, celiac disease, or other gluten sensitivity should read the printed ingredient panel on the bag before cooking, since packaging can change between production runs.
How should I store and cook Pasta Toscana Fusilli?
Store the unopened bag in a cool, dry pantry away from direct sunlight; dry pasta keeps well for up to two years at room temperature. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil, cook until al dente, then drain and toss with sauce right away. Once opened, reseal the bag or transfer to an airtight container.
What sauces work best with Pasta Toscana Fusilli?
The tight corkscrew shape traps thick sauces in every groove, so pesto, chunky tomato sauces, and creamy sauces all cling well. It is also a strong choice for cold pasta salads, since the spirals hold vinaigrette, olives, and chopped vegetables without going soggy as quickly as smoother shapes.
Is Pasta Toscana Fusilli imported from Italy?
Yes. This pasta is milled and shaped in Tuscany, Italy from Tuscan Durum Wheat Semolina, then imported for sale in the United States and Canada. Real Prime Deals ships every order from our New Jersey warehouse, so customers receive the same bronze-die Italian pasta sold in Tuscany.
