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.

It is a shorter version of the classic Rigatoni, which is a typical type of traditional pasta from Rome, that has the characteristic ridged external surface and a large diameter and thickness.
The best condiments for Mezzi Rigatoni are meat or vegetable sauces provided that they are dense enough to work their way inside and be trapped by the ridges. Amazing with fish based recipes.
