Spicy Alfredo Fusilloni Pasta

As Korean foods continue to grow in popularity, our buyers continue searching for creative ways to bring those characteristically spicy, sweet, and savory flavors—often with a fermented flair—into more TJ’s products. The latest achievement on this culinary fusion adventure is Trader Joe’s Spicy Alfredo Fusilloni Pasta. Our supplier in Italy starts with Fusilloni (giant fusilli) made of durum wheat semolina that’s cooked to an ideal al dente texture. For the fusion part, they’ve crafted a Spicy Alfredo sauce that mixes traditional cream, grated cheese, and butter with gochujang (fermented red chili paste).

The sauce is frozen into little “pucks” and packed right in with the Fusilloni. All you have to do is heat everything together in the microwave or on the stovetop, and you’ll be rewarded with a mouthwatering melding of flavors—rich, ultra-creamy Alfredo with a spicy, fermented kick in every big-spiral bite. While Italian-Korean culinary fusion is quite unique, the fusion of quality products with unbeatable prices is an everyday occurrence at your neighborhood Trader Joe’s.
