Strangozzi, originally from Umbria, take their name from the Italian word "strenghe" which means the long shoelaces for old-fashioned shoes. The special consistency of this type of pasta makes it suitable for serving with meat ragùs or rich, tomato-based sauces.

A larger, chunkier version of the classic Fusilli from the Campania tradition which were made by hand in the past according to a method that was passed down from "mother to daughter". You had to rapidly twist a strand of spaghetti around a knitting needle with a skilled hand. The ability required to perform this procedure is reminiscent of that of spinners and as a matter of fact, the term "fusillo" comes from "fuso" (spindle) which was the tool used by spinners.
Fusilli Giganti are ideal for dishes with a strong, decisive taste or for recipes that need to be tossed in a frying pan.
