What is "busiate"?
Busiate is a traditional Sicilian pasta known for its unique twisted shape and artisanal preparation. Made from durum wheat flour and water, the dough is rolled and hand-rolled around a thin wooden rod to create a spiral shape. This technique gives busiate its distinctive texture, with a slightly rough surface that helps sauces cling to the pasta. When cooked, busiate retains its al dente bite and has a chewy yet tender texture. The pasta's shape and texture make it ideal for capturing and holding robust sauces.
