Cooking Fusilli Pasta (Spirals)

BEFORE COOKING:

We prepare a portion of pasta, remembering that its volume doubles during cooking.

COOKING:

We add the fusilli pasta to boiling salted water (1 liter of water for every 100g of pasta, 1 teaspoon of salt per 2 liters of water). Stir immediately to prevent the pasta from sticking to the sides of the pot. Depending on the manufacturer, the cooking time for fusilli is between 7 and 10 minutes. Check the package for the exact cooking time. Start timing once the water returns to a boil. Stir every 3–4 minutes. Do not cover the pot. Test the pasta to see if it is al dente – it should be tender but firm.

AFTER COOKING:

Once the pasta is cooked, drain it quickly using a colander.

SERVING SUGGESTION:

Serve the fusilli with your favorite sauce and drizzle with olive oil to taste.

Enjoy your meal!
