Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Use about 4-6 cups of water per 100 grams (3.5 oz) of pasta.
Add salt (1-2 tablespoons) to the water to enhance the flavor of the pasta.
Add Aashraya Fusilli Pasta:
Once the water is boiling, add your fusilli pasta and stir to prevent it from sticking together.
Cook the Aashraya Fusilli Pasta:
Let the pasta cook for about 8-12 minutes. Al dente is usually the best texture, so check it a minute or two before the recommended time.
Stir occasionally to avoid the pasta sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Drain the Aashraya Fusilli Pasta:
Once the pasta is cooked, drain it in a colander. If you’re planning to use a sauce, you can reserve some pasta water to help thicken the sauce or bind it better.
Serve:
Combine the fusilli with your favorite sauce—pesto, marinara, creamy Alfredo, or a hearty meat sauce.
Tips:
For Pasta Salad: After draining, rinse the fusilli under cold water to stop the cooking process and cool it down for the salad.
For Baked Dishes: Fusilli holds its shape well in casseroles or baked pasta dishes. Combine it with cheese, sauce, and any other ingredients for a delicious bake.
