Fusilli Measurement Converter
Use the tool below to convert fusilli from the measurements in your recipe to the measurements that you need.
Fusilli is a corkscrew-shaped pasta, prized for the way its spirals catch chunky sauces in pasta salads and bakes. One metric cup (250 ml) of dry fusilli weighs around 100 grams or 3.53 ounces. When a recipe lists fusilli in cups but you are working from a bag and scales, converting by weight keeps the portion right. Every figure here is for dry, uncooked fusilli; to see how much it makes once boiled, use the cooked pasta converter below.
Fusilli's twists trap a lot of air, so it is the lightest of the common pasta shapes by the cup. Weighing in grams cuts out that variation and keeps your portions steady.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are fusilli and pasta twirls the same thing?
- Yes. Pasta twirls is another name for fusilli, so they are the same ingredient and measure identically. A cup of fusilli weighs 100 grams under either name, and every conversion on this page holds whichever name your recipe uses. Recipes swap the two freely, so you can follow either without changing quantities or weighing any differently.
- Does cooked fusilli weigh the same as dry fusilli?
- No. One cup of cooked fusilli weighs about 146 g, while one cup of dry fusilli weighs 100 g. Dry pasta takes up water as it boils and swells to roughly 1.71 times its volume, so a single dry cup makes several cooked cups. The dry and cooked gram figures are not interchangeable. Use the cooked pasta converter to switch between the two. Open the cooked pasta converter
- What is 0.25 cups of fusilli in tablespoons?
- 0.25 cups of fusilli is 4.17 tablespoons. This is the same for any ingredient, since cups and tablespoons are both volume units and do not depend on what you are measuring. One cup is about 16.67 tablespoons, so 0.5 cups is 8.33 tablespoons. Use the volume converter to switch between cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, and millilitres for any amount. Open the volume converter
