Sicily is a sun kissed island characterized by citrus aromas and a rich, diverse history. In fact, the culture of fine dining may have been conceived in Sicily when Archestratus a poet born in Gela in the 4th century B.C., wrote Gastronomia as an ode to the pleasures of the Sicilian table. It is here that tradition and passion combined to create the Bella Italia Busiata. This particular cut is an interpretation to the ancient pasta Busiata of Arabic origin that is obtained by wrapping the bus, or the thin reed of a plant, around the pieces of dough. The name Busiata or Maccheroni al ferro refers to a shape of pasta, which is typical of the Trapani area. This pasta cut, made by the expert hands of the Sicilian housekeepers, is a magic shape that hangs onto the last drop of sauce and is ideal for fish-based sauces.
