Fusilli
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fusilli, a helical shaped pasta, is usually about 4 centimetres long. Fusilli is almost identical to another shaped pasta called Rotini. They both have the spiral shape, although rotini is slightly bigger and thicker than fusilli.
Fusilli can be seen during a Seinfeld episode, where the main character, Jerry Seinfeld, had a statue of himself made from the pasta, by his friend Kramer. Kramer: "Fusilli Jerry! It's made from Fusilli pasta. See the microphone?" Jerry: "Oh... Why Fusilli?" Kramer: "Because you're silly. Get it?"
Fusilli is often made in green and red varieties - these are produced by adding spinach and carrots respectively.
