Fusilli lunghi col buco is a strong, spiral-shaped pasta, twice as long as spaghetti, with a straw-like hole down the center. Its name comes from the Italian word “fuso”, a type of knitting needle that ancient artisan pasta makers used to create its unique shape. Fusilli lunghi col buco is delicious when served with a delicate tomato and ricotta cheese sauce.
Maurizio Artisan Pasta is produced from the finest durum wheat semolina in the Campagnia region of southern Italy. Pasta is carefully pressed through traditional bronze dies, resulting in a uniquely porous texture that allows maximum sauce absorption. Maurizio Lunghi Col Buco is also notably less prone to breakage as a result of the slow drying process. This time-honored process makes Maurizio Artisan Pasta unlike any other. Product of Italy.
