If you are not familiar with busiate, then you are in the right place. Busiate is a type of traditional Sicilian pasta, originating in the city of Trapani. It is said that the characteristic spiral shape was obtained in ancient times by wrapping the pasta around a 'busio', the stem of a native grass called 'disa', from which the name of this pasta probably derives. Their particular shape allows them to hold sauces and condiments exceptionally well.

Ideas and recipes:

Still today, the traditional method is followed in the production of busiate: the pasta is made by hand and wrapped around a stick, thus creating the characteristic spiral shape. This artisanal process requires skill and patience, but produces a pasta with a unique texture and flavour. Its unique spiral shape makes it very versatile in the kitchen. One dish I would recommend for this type of pasta is Trapanese pesto, prepared with tomato, toasted almonds, garlic, basil and mint. These are some of the ingredients of Trapanese pesto, a sauce typical of the culinary tradition of the city of Trapani, from which it takes its name.
