Delightfully springy and perfect for holding sauces, these Organic Durum Wheat Spirals are made in South Australia by L’Abruzzese — a family-run pasta maker with a fierce commitment to local, sustainable food systems. Their spiral pasta is crafted from 100% certified organic Australian-grown durum wheat, slow-dried at low temperatures to preserve flavour and nutrition, and extruded through traditional bronze dies for a rustic, sauce-clinging texture.

What is Durum Wheat Pasta?

Durum wheat is a hard variety of wheat prized for its high protein content and gluten strength, giving pasta its signature bite and chewy texture. These spirals are made from semolina ground from organic Australian durum wheat, mixed with water, and formed into shape using traditional bronze dies. They are then dried slowly at low temperatures to preserve both nutrition and taste.

Culinary Uses

Spiral pasta (also called fusilli) is a favourite for hearty sauces and baked dishes. Try it with:

• Rich tomato-based pasta sauces

• Pesto, olive oil, or garlic-and-herb dressings

• Pasta bakes or oven gratins

• Cold pasta salads with seasonal veg

To cook: Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Add pasta and cook for 8–10 minutes or until al dente. Drain and serve.
