Because ...

• If the Fusilli sticks to much, add 1 tablespoon olive oil after cooking and draining to the pasta. Adding it to the cooking water won't help.
• Add 2 teaspoons salt to your pasta cooking water. Pasta should be cooked in water as salt as the sea.

Substitutes

• Fusilli can be substituted with Penne, Tagliatelle or Farfalle. Don't substitute it for Macaroni, because it's smaller and it will get an over structure.
• If you can't get Feta, use white cheese (with herbs)

Delicious
