Fusilli is a short twisted pasta from southern Italy usually served with a spicy tomato sauce. Originating from naples, it is also known as "eliche" or "propellers" for its quality of trapping particles of the sauce and "propelling" them to the tongue. This recipe uses fusilli tossed along with baby corn, walnuts with a sprinkling of fresh basil and parsley. An enticing blend of flavours! toss this pasta as close to serving time as possible as it tastes best then.
