busiate

The best known pasta of Trapani in western Sicily resembles an old-fashioned telephone cord; watch this short video to see how it's made, twisting the pasta around a metal rod or stiff blade of grass to form elongated corkscrews.

In Trapani, the classic basiate sauce is made with almonds, basil, garlic, and tomatoes, topped with grated pecorino.

Also known as maccheroni al ferro, among other names.
