Overview

Michele Portoghese Fusilli Lunghi is a traditional Italian pasta known for its long, spiral shape, which makes it both visually striking and highly functional for holding onto sauces. The fusilli are elongated, offering a unique twist on the classic short fusilli, providing a more substantial bite and the ability to trap sauces in the twists. Made with high-quality durum wheat semolina, this pasta is carefully crafted by the Michele Portoghese brand, which is renowned for producing exceptional, artisanal pasta. Its shape and texture make it an ideal choice for a variety of dishes, from hearty sauces to delicate preparations.

Quality & Sourcing

Michele Portoghese Fusilli Lunghi is made from the finest durum wheat semolina sourced from Italy. The pasta is produced using traditional methods, ensuring that each piece is extruded through bronze dies to achieve its rough texture, which helps sauces adhere more effectively. The pasta is then slow-dried at low temperatures to preserve its natural flavor, texture, and nutrients. The meticulous attention to quality throughout the production process ensures that Fusilli Lunghi maintains its firm texture when cooked, offering a superior pasta experience.

Versatility

Michele Portoghese Fusilli Lunghi is a highly versatile pasta that pairs well with a wide range of sauces. The spiral shape is excellent for both light and rich sauces, as its twists and turns trap the sauce, enhancing every bite. It pairs wonderfully with meat ragù, vegetable-based sauces, or even pesto. Fusilli Lunghi is also a great choice for seafood preparations, such as clam sauce or shrimp and garlic, as well as creamy dishes like carbonara or alfredo. Additionally, the shape lends itself beautifully to baked pasta dishes like pasta al forno, where it absorbs the sauce and flavors while maintaining its firm texture.
