For boiling the fusilli pasta perfectly for Pasta In White Sauce, boil enough water in a large pan. If you use a small pan, the pasta will clump together on boiling

Add the pasta to the boiling water and stir once. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally and gently until the pasta is tender. Cooking times may vary with the size and the thickness of the pasta. Very small pasta (like macaroni, fusilli, conchiglie, penne) may cook in 5 to 7 minutes. Larger shapes (like spaghetti, fettuccine, dried lasagne sheets) may require 10 to 12 minutes. Refer the package instructions to understand the exact cooking time.
After 5 to 7 minutes, remove one pasta out of the water and keep it aside to cool a little.
