Fusilli, "fuchile", "fussil" o "refusil" es una pasta con forma helicoidal, generalmente de cuatro centímetros de largo. El fusilli es casi idéntico a otras pastas denominadas rotini. Son similares ya que ambas tienen forma helicoidal pero el rotini es más grande y delgado que el fusilli. Se elabora en diferentes colores, mediante la adición de frutas o verduras en la pasta, por ejemplo si se le añade zanahoria se pone anaranjada, con espinaca adquiere un verde oscuro... También se le conoce como "tornillos" o "tornillitos" dada su forma helicoidal similar a dichos materiales.

Fusilli [fuˈzilli] 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 the thin strips of pasta to wind them around it in a corkscrew shape. In addition to plain and whole wheat varieties, as with any pasta, other colours can be made by mixing other ingredients into the dough, which also affects the flavour, for example, beetroot or tomato for red, spinach for green, and cuttlefish ink for black. Fusilli may be solid or hollow. Hollow fusilli are also called fusilli bucati. The term fusilli is also used to describe a short, flattened, twisted pasta known as rotini in the United States.Short twisted pasta are also marketed as fusilli, as well as a tri-color fusilli which is marketed to consumers who want bistro style salads etc. This type of product is widely seen.
