Fusilli are long, thick, corkscrew shaped pasta. The word fusilli presumably comes from fuso, as traditionally it is "spun" by pressing and rolling a small rod over each thin strips of pasta to wind them around it in a corkscrew shape, much like a modern Turkish spindle.
Here is a simple recipe for making Fusilli pasta.
If you do not like Fusilli you could use toss any other pasta like Spaghetti, Penne or Farfalle into this Tomato Basil sauce.
