Ferrara Fusilli col Buco long fusilli pasta N.33, 4x16 oz packs — 100% durum wheat, hollow spiral for sauce hold

Ferrara Fusilli col Buco N.33 are long, spiral-cut Italian pasta made from 100% durum wheat semolina and sold in four 16‑ounce packages.

Originating from Italy, Ferrara’s Fusilli col Buco N.33 blends traditional cutting techniques with durum wheat semolina to deliver firm, textured pasta that holds sauces and cooks to an al dente bite. Packaged as four 16‑ounce bags, this format suits families, weekly meal prep, or cooks who want a reliable pantry staple with authentic Italian character.

What makes Ferrara’s fusilli col buco different from regular spirals?

Ferrara’s cut is a longer, hollow spiral designed to trap sauces inside the grooves and cavity, offering more sauce-per-bite than smaller spirals. The long shape also provides a noticeable chew and visual presence on the plate.

• Long, hollow spiral (col buco) for better sauce capture
• Traditional Italian cutting preserves texture and shape
• Durum wheat semolina for firm, al dente cooking

How should I cook these long fusilli for best texture?

Cook in well‑salted, rapidly boiling water and stir occasionally to prevent sticking; test a minute or two before the package time to reach your preferred al dente. Drain promptly and toss with sauce to finish, allowing the pasta to absorb flavors while remaining springy.

• Use abundant salted water (about 4–6 quarts per pound)
• Stir in the first minute, then occasionally while boiling
• Reserve some cooking water to adjust sauce consistency

Which sauces and dishes pair best with long fusilli col buco?

The hollow spiral suits both chunky and creamy sauces: thick ragù, vegetable bakes, pesto, and cream-based sauces cling to the grooves while filling the center. It also performs well in cold pasta salads because the shape holds dressings and mix-ins.

• Meat ragù, vegetable ragù, and bolognese
• Creamy cheese sauces and Alfredo-style preparations
• Pesto, vinaigrette-based salads, and baked pasta dishes
