Just as pasta forms the foundation of so many magnificent meals, TJ’s pastas are a cornerstone of our grocery section. That’s why we take the task of sourcing the best possible pasta at the best possible price so seriously. Most recently, our search has taken us to Egypt, where durum wheat has been cultivated for thousands of years. And that’s the only ingredient you’ll find in TJ’s Fusilli: Egyptian durum wheat, ground into starchy semolina, then mixed with water, kneaded, and shaped into those signature spirals we know and love.

After just 10–11 minutes in salted, boiling water, this Fusilli (named after the Italian word fuso, meaning “spindle”) reaches a lovely al dente texture and is ready to be paired with your favourite TJ’s sauce. Beyond its eye-catching shape, those twisting spirals are excellent at catching and holding sauce, especially chunkier varieties like our Organic Roasted Red Pepper & Almond Pesto. That same shape also makes Fusilli a fantastic choice for picnic-ready pasta salads. We like ours tossed with plenty of olive oil and Fresh Mozzarella Cheese Pearls for a simple, delicious dish that’s ready to share!
