  • These figures use the US cup (240 ml). A metric cup is slightly larger at 250 ml, so it holds a little more. Use the metric cup converter →
  • Cup sizes are not standard worldwide, so the same cup of an ingredient can weigh more or less depending on the country. What is a cup measurement →
  • These figures are for dry, uncooked fusilli. Cooked, it roughly doubles in volume as the spirals absorb water, so one cup of dry fusilli yields close to two cups cooked. Weigh dry for the most reliable result.

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.

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.

Angled tubes, a little heavier per cup (110 g vs 100 g). Swap 1:1 by volume where a sturdier shape works. See our Penne converter.
