Fusilli pasta originally comes from the South of Italy. The original concept was inspired by the image of winding a strand of spaghetti around a knitting needle. Then, influenced by the different customs and traditions in the various regions of Italy, the form evolved into the characteristic spiral shape of today.
Barilla has decided to miniaturize this traditional format, while conserving all the characteristics of superior quality. Small in size, but brimming with flavor, Mini Fusilli is a new way to delight the entire family, adding flair and creativity to everyday meals.
The Shape
Mini Fusilli boasts a distinctive shape, a series of soft curves that wind into a delicate spiral.
Thanks to Barilla's extensive experience in seeking out the best durum wheat and its scrupulous attention to every phase of the production process, Mini Fusilli has a flavor that will appeal to all ages. The unique spiral coils are perfect for soaking up sauces, be they simple or elaborate, bringing out all the flavor of any dish. With the spirited, extroverted little Mini Fusilli pasta, everything turns out fabulously.
Suggestions for use
Mini Fusilli goes great with all kinds of meat sauces, as well as toppings made from vegetables, fresh cheese and fish. The folds of Mini Fusilli's delicate coils capture these sauces creating a real taste treat. The result is a dish that's not only appetizing, but also a wholesome and well-balanced part of the whole family's daily diet.
Barilla suggests trying it with a delightful recipe: Mini Fusilli with speck, spinach and Parmigiano Reggiano. A topping that boasts the hearty flavors of country cooking, masterfully balanced by the mild flavor of melted Parmigiano Reggiano. For an easy-to-prepare dish that's delicate, but very nutritious, Barilla also suggest Mini Fusilli with chicken, cherry tomatoes and spinach. |
