The pasta in this die takes you to the south of Italy. It originally comes from Trapani/Sicily, but this very traditional type of pasta is also widespread in Calabria. With just a few ingredients you can conjure up Busiate alla Trapanese, a Sicilian delicacy with, among other things, pecorino and almonds, on the table. But you can also find them “alla Norma” ie with fried eggplants more often.

The name Busiata comes from “busa”, the Italian word for a style. This refers to the style of the plant Ampelodesmos mauritanicus, around which a strip of pasta is traditionally wrapped to create a dried busiata. By the way, this pasta is traditionally only made with durum wheat semolina and water, no eggs.

The coiled shape makes it resemble a screw, pretty awesome for holding the sauce. But try it yourself...

Dough / Ingredients:

250 g durum wheat semolina or Semola rimacinata

Choose ONE of the following ingredients:

100 ml cold water or
110 ml liquid consisting of two eggs, the rest of the water, lightly whisked

Step-by-step instructions for breastfeeding with the emeibaby carrier:

Please only use cold liquids.
Avoid flour, replace it with semolina.
Use binding agents such as xanthan gum, gluten, etc. only to a limited extent, a maximum of 1 teaspoon per 500 grams of dry ingredients. Otherwise the dough will be too firm and the dies could break.
If you knead the dough for longer or let it rest, the gluten will develop on its own.
You can recognize a good pasta dough by the fact that it is moist and crumbly.

The matrices can also be used to produce gluten-free pasta.

Immerse yourself in the world of your own pasta production with your palate friends. The taste of fresh homemade pasta is incomparably good.
