Busiate Tumminia is a traditional pasta shape from the Trapani area of western Sicily, known for its spiral form that perfectly holds onto sauces, delivering rich flavor in every bite.
Made with whole durum wheat semolina from the ancient Sicilian variety “Tumminia”, this is a true artisanal pasta. The wheat is organically grown, stone-milled in Sicily using natural mills, bronze-drawn, and slow-dried to preserve its nutritional properties, flavor, and texture.
The traditional sauce for Busiate is Pesto alla Trapanese—a fragrant blend of fresh tomatoes and almonds.
But this versatile pasta pairs beautifully with a variety of ingredients. Try it with:
-
Swordfish, eggplant, and cherry tomatoes
-
Red prawns and Bronte pistachios
-
Shrimp and Genovese zucchini
-
Mixed seafood
-
Pistachio pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, and olives
