fusilli
This term is borrowed directly from Italian, where it serves as the plural form of fusillo. In English, it is treated as a mass noun referring to the pasta variety as a whole, similar to how spaghetti or macaroni are used.
Because it functions as an uncountable mass noun in most culinary contexts, it does not typically take a plural ending in English. To refer to individual pieces, a partitive construction such as a piece of fusilli or a few spirals of fusilli is used.
