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.
