Reply to comment by Mr-Korv in Good old fusilli by PaleSubstance2

yes.

>The word "fusilli" is sometimes incorrectly used to describe another twisted pasta called rotini. The key to distinguishing the two is to remember that fusilli is made of strands of pasta twisted into little spring-like shapes, while rotini is typically extruded into a twisted shape. Rotini is more common in the U.S. and is produced by all major pasta manufacturers. The two can be swapped in recipes with similar results.

Double no.

And if we wanna nitpick, the title should say "what ARE Fusilli", since it's a plural noun.

Singular being Fusillo.

Don't teach the teacher, please 😉

Did you really just try to correct an Italian about an Italian pastas name in Italian? Talk about being confidently incorrect yourself, that's fucking gold.

He schooled that teacher with irrefutable proof that the pasta in the video is rotini.

Italian here, I looked around a bit, it seems Rotini is the rename that was made for the international (american) market.

Here now and since I have memory of eating it, those are fusilli, zero doubt, zero questions. ##FUSILLI
