Best Answer

Fusilli are a variety of pasta that are formed into the shape of a corkscrew. The word fusilli presumably comes from fuso ("spindle"), as traditionally it is "spun" by pressing and rolling a small rod over the thin strips of pasta to wind them around it in a corkscrew shape.

How many grams is 2 cups dry corkscrew pasta?

To be honest it depends on the type of pasta. For instance, 2 lbs. dry vermicelli will take up the equivalent space of about 3 cups. For elbow macaroni that'll be about 5 cups or so. For rotini it could be 5 or 6 cups. for angel hair pasta, usually packaged in cakes, it can be almost 12 cups. The best thing to do is weigh, or purchase the weight you need of any particular dry pasta.BTW 1 lb of homemade fresh pasta dough is about 3 1/2 cups, before shaping it and cooking it.
