Fusilli

Fusilli are twisted pasta pieces that work with meat, fish, ricotta or vegetable sauces.

Vegetables around the twist

De Cecco suggests ricotta alongside meat and fish sauces for its fusilli. Another direction is tomato with peppers, eggplant, olives and capers. Try that vegetable combination when you want several distinct ingredients around the twisted pasta rather than a single uniform sauce.
