De Cecco Pasta 500g Fusilli No.34 Short Pasta Shapes

Fusilli come from Campania and belong to the short, straight cut family of pasta.

In the past, Fusilli were made by hand according to a method that was passed down from one generation to the next. You had to rapidly twist a strand of spaghetti around a knitting needle with a skilled hand. The ability required to perform this procedure is reminiscent of that of spinners and as a matter of fact, the term "fusillo" comes from "fuso" (spindle) which was the tool used by spinners.

This pasta is particularly good with meat and fish-based sauces or with condiments made with ricotta. It is also perfect with vegetable sauces too that are prepared with a tomato sauce with peppers, aubergines, olives and capers.

Traditionally manufactured according to the recipe of over 125 years

Cooking time: 11 min - Al dente: 9 min

De Cecco: Bringing Authentic Italian Flavour to Your Table

De Cecco is a renowned Italian company with over 130 years of experience and a rich heritage in crafting traditional and high-quality pasta and other food products. Since 1886, they've been a leading force in bringing the taste of Italy to kitchens around the world.

The De Cecco story began in Fara San Martino, Italy (“La Capitale della Pasta” - “The Pasta Capital”), where the De Cecco brothers established their mill and pasta factory. They were pioneers in using industrial drying methods, ensuring consistent quality and perfect texture in every box of De Cecco pasta.

De Cecco crafts its pasta using cold mountain water, a coarse bronze drawing, creating a rough texture that perfectly holds sauce, and "lenta essiccazione" - a slow drying process, which results in the al dente perfection that Italians have loved for generations.

De Cecco is dedicated to preserving the culinary heritage of Italy and offers a variety of authentic Italian products beyond their world-renowned pasta.
Every De Cecco product is made with the finest ingredients and meticulous attention to detail.

Italia Solutions is proud to feature and provide many of De Cecco’s finest products.
