What fusilli is
Fusilli is one of Italy's most loved short pasta shapes - a corkscrew spiral whose grooves and curves are perfect for catching sauce. Versatile and forgiving, it works hot or cold, with light or hearty dressings.
The producer
Pastificio Rummo has made pasta in Benevento, Campania, since 1846. Its hallmark is the Lenta Lavorazione method - a slower kneading and low-temperature drying that protects the gluten structure, giving pasta that stays firm and never turns sticky, even if slightly overcooked.
Why Lenta Lavorazione matters
The slow process and gentle drying preserve the protein network of the semolina. The result is a more resistant pasta with a reliable al dente and excellent hold - a real advantage in a busy service where timing is never perfect.
