reginelle
sesame biscuits
The 'little queens' of Sicilian biscuit-dom (also known as biscotti regina or sesamini) are said to date back to the Arab occupation of the island in the 9th century. The classic recipe today features honey and lard, which gives them a unique texture.
Reginelle (or reginette) is also the name of a form of pasta, similar to mafaldine
