La Busiata

The Busiata is a typical pasta shape originating from western Sicily, in particular from the province of Trapani, so called because the dough was originally wrapped around the stem of a plant, the "buso" in Sicilian dialect. This local herb was used to create bundles and to give Trapanese pasta its characteristic twisted appearance. It is a product so rooted in its territory that it has obtained recognition as a traditional agri-food product , of the Sicily region. It is a cross between bucatini and fusilli: the busiate are twisted on themselves in a very tight spiral that leaves a small hole in the center. They are found in the short and long variant.
