Busiata Durum Semolina Pasta with Squid Ink, 500 g

Among the traditional pastas of Sicily, one of the most interesting is busiata, a spiral shape achieved by wrapping strips of pasta around a thin rod. This shape, typical of the Trapani region, holds sauces beautifully.

In this version, the pasta is colored with nero di seppia, or squid ink, which gives it a stunning black color and a hint of seafood flavor.

The combination of artisanal pasta making and the addition of squid ink reflects Sicily's deep connection to the sea. Fishermen and chefs have used this ink in their cuisine for centuries as a natural coloring and flavoring, especially in coastal regions.

Busiate al Nero di Seppia goes well with seafood-based sauces. It is often served with squid, mussels or shrimp, where the ink-enriched pasta enhances the seafood character of the dish. If you want to quickly throw together something delicious, make a simple sauce of garlic, olive oil, chili pepper and a little parsley, this is enough to let the unique flavor of the pasta prevail.

Like all our pasta, it is traditionally made in a bronze mold, giving it a rough surface that helps it absorb and retain sauces. Slow drying at low temperatures preserves both texture and flavor, guaranteeing the perfect gastronomic experience.
