Fusilli is a variety of pasta that are formed into corkscrew or helical shapes. The word "fusilli" comes from fuso ("spindle"), as it is "spun" and twisted in the bronze die in a corkscrew shape. Because of its twists, it has grooves that are good for holding onto sauce. Fusilli works well with any sauce, added to soups, or turned into a salad. This shape also bakes well in a casserole. Other names for Fusilli are Spirali, Rotini and Eliche.
