What a flavor! Fusilli with summer flavors are a simple first course to make but with a unique taste, which recalls summer, the herbs of the garden and, by closing the eyes, even the breeze that brings the brackish air to the nostrils. And then this pasta is also a concentrate of fibers, vitamins, mineral salts and antioxidants with an anti-aging, anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor action. In short, summer is on the table, with a ton of beneficial properties for health!
