DE CECCO Fusilli Lunghi Bucati: The Viral Pasta Sensation

This popular pasta is made from high-quality durum wheat sourced from Italy. Its unique spiral shape resembles instant noodles, and its hollow structure locks in the sauce, making it easy to create a chewy and smooth dish.

Recommended Recipe: Korean Rose Sauce Bacon Pasta

1. When cooking the pasta, set aside 200ml of pasta water. This starchy, salty water is essential for emulsifying the sauce.
2. Fry the bacon until crispy, then add cooking cream and Korean chili sauce in a 3:1 ratio. Pour in the reserved pasta water and simmer on low heat until the sauce thickens.
3. Turn off the heat and quickly toss in the cooked pasta. Grate Parmesan cheese on top and stir using the residual heat to melt the cheese, coating the noodles for a creamy texture.

Cooking Tips:

• Timing is Key: The package suggests cooking for 11-13 minutes, but it's best to start tasting at the 10-minute mark. Aim for "Al Dente"—soft on the outside but slightly firm in the center.
• Salty Water for Stronger Noodles: Make sure the pasta water is salty! Add about 10g of salt (around 2 teaspoons) per liter of water. This helps strengthen the noodle structure and enhances chewiness.
• No Rinsing with Cold Water: After draining, immediately mix the noodles with the sauce. Keeping the natural starch on the noodles will significantly improve sauce adherence.
