Northern Pasta - Fusilli (450g)

Twirl into the irresistible texture and flavour of No. 2 Fusilli, crafted by Northern Pasta Co. in Cumbria. This artisan fusilli is made using regeneratively grown British spelt, combined with wheat semolina, then extruded through bronze dies and slow-dried at low temperatures to yield a rugged, sauce-capturing surface. 

Key Features & Highlights

• Ingredients: Spelt, Wheat Semolina

• Weight / Pack: 450 g bag

• Production Method:
   • Extruded through bronze dies for a coarse texture that helps sauces cling. 
   • Slow-dried at low temperatures to preserve flavour and structure. 

• Taste & Texture: Nutty, full-flavoured character from the spelt; firm “bite” and excellent sauce retention thanks to the rough surface. 

• Versatility: Perfect for hearty ragus, chunky pasta salads, baked pasta dishes, or simply dressed with olive oil & herbs. 

Serving & Use Suggestions

• Cooking Time: Check packaging directions, but aim for al dente—the fusilli shape holds up well to longer cooking or baking.

• Sauce Pairings: Chunky meat sauces, creamy vegetable ragouts, or simple pesto work beautifully. The grooves help trap flavour.

• Recipe Idea: Try an Istrian truffle pasta — toss 150 g No.2 fusilli with melted butter, truffle (or truffle oil), cooked pasta water, cracked pepper and pecorino. 

• Storing: Keep in a cool, dry place in its sealed bag to preserve freshness and prevent moisture absorption.
