Fusilli are long, thick, corkscrew shaped pasta. In addition to plain and whole wheat varieties, as with any pasta, other colours can be made by mixing other ingredients into the dough, which also affects the flavour, for example, beetroot for red, spinach for green, and cuttlefish ink for black.

1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup chopped onions

1/2 cup canned tuna flakes
1/2 cup asparagus, cut in 1 inch lengths
1 1/2 cups broccoli florets
1 pack 7 grams AJINOMOTO GINISA All Purpose Seasoning Mix
1/4 teaspoon AJI-NO-MOTO® Umami Super Seasoning.
