Fusilli — Zelli Pasta

2026-03-21T12:30:22-07:00

From the word “fuso” or spindle, fusilli means “little spindles.” We recommend a pesto, or another oil or butter based sauce, and obviously a bright pasta salad in the summer. About Zelli Pasta: Zelli pasta has a little different look, feel, and quality than most are used to. There are a few reasons for this: Our pasta is made using bronze extruder dies. They leave the pasta with a rougher surface area for sauce to cling to. Most large manufacturers use Teflon dies because they are more efficient and easier; however, the pasta ends up being shiny and slippery. Not a good combo for sauce. We use high quality organic durum wheat flour. This flour is all sourced from organic farms in North America, then milled in the USA.
