5 Ways to Use Garofalo Fusilli & Di Tullio Sugo Rustica in Everyday Cooking
If you haven’t tried Garofalo Fusilli with Di Tullio Sugo Rustica yet, you’re in for a treat. These two premium Italian products are a match made in culinary heaven — and together they make weeknight cooking feel like a proper Italian feast. Here are five delicious ways to use them.
Why This Combination Works
Garofalo Fusilli is made from 100% durum wheat semolina using a bronze-die extrusion process — giving it a rough, porous texture that grips sauce beautifully. Di Tullio Sugo Rustica is a rich, rustic tomato sauce made with quality Italian tomatoes and traditional ingredients. Together, they’re a pantry powerhouse.
1. Classic Fusilli al Sugo
The simplest and most satisfying way to enjoy this combination. Cook the fusilli al dente, toss generously with warmed Sugo Rustica, and finish with a handful of freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Dinner on the table in under 15 minutes.
Tip: Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining — adding a splash to the sauce makes it silky and helps it cling to every spiral.
2. Baked Pasta (Pasta al Forno)
Turn this duo into a crowd-pleasing baked pasta dish. Cook the fusilli until just underdone, mix with Sugo Rustica, ricotta, and torn mozzarella, then transfer to a baking dish. Top with more mozzarella and Parmesan and bake at 200°C for 20–25 minutes until golden and bubbling. Perfect for feeding a family or entertaining guests.
3. Pasta Frittata
Got leftover fusilli? Turn it into a pasta frittata — an Italian classic that’s brilliant for lunch or a light dinner. Mix cooked fusilli with Sugo Rustica, beaten eggs, Parmesan, and fresh basil. Cook in an ovenproof pan on the stovetop until set on the bottom, then finish under the grill until golden. Slice like a pizza and serve warm or at room temperature.
4. Stuffed Capsicums with Fusilli
For something a little different, use the fusilli and Sugo Rustica as a filling for roasted capsicums. Mix cooked pasta with the sauce, add some crumbled feta or ricotta, spoon into halved capsicums, and roast at 180°C for 25–30 minutes. A beautiful, colourful dish that’s as impressive as it is easy.
5. Quick Pasta Soup (Pasta e Pomodoro)
On a cold night, transform these two ingredients into a warming pasta soup. Sauté onion and garlic in olive oil, add Di Tullio Sugo Rustica and a litre of good vegetable stock, bring to a simmer, then add the fusilli and cook until tender. Finish with fresh basil and a generous grating of Parmesan. Rustic, comforting, and ready in 20 minutes.
