Fusilli comes from Campania and belongs to the short, straight cut family of pasta.
Traditionally, Fusilli were made by hand by rapidly twisting a strand of spaghetti around a knitting needle with a skilled hand. Reminiscent of spinners, the term "fusillo" comes from "fuso" (spindle) the tool used by spinners.
