Spiruls

Spiruls are a type of spiral-shaped pasta that originated in Italy. They are characterized by their thin, ribbon-like shape with a spiral twist, which gives them a unique texture and appearance. Spiruls are typically made from durum wheat semolina, which provides a firm and chewy texture when cooked. The pasta is often served with a variety of sauces, including tomato-based sauces, creamy sauces, and meat-based sauces. Due to their delicate shape, spiruls are best suited for sauces that do not require a lot of stirring, as they can easily break apart. They are often used in Italian-American cuisine and are a popular choice for pasta salads and pasta dishes that require a delicate pasta shape. Spiruls are available in various sizes and can be found in many Italian and specialty food stores.
