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
with
- Warm pita bread and hummus. Or these pita bread with goat cheese and walnut dip
