Pesto alla trapanese

Sicilian variation of the genovese pesto

Pasta with pesto alla trapanese

Pesto alla trapanese (Italian pronunciation: [ˈpesto alla trapaˈneːze]) is a Sicilian variation of pesto, typical of the province of Trapani.[1] It is also known as pesto alla siciliana [ˈpesto alla sitʃiˈljaːna], and as pasta cull'agghia in the Sicilian language.[2] It is made of garlic, basil, almonds, grated pecorino siciliano, tomatoes, salt, and pepper, and bound with extra virgin olive oil.[2]

The dish was introduced in ancient times by Genovese ships, coming from the East and stopping at the port of Trapani, who brought the tradition of agliata, a sort of pesto sauce based on garlic and walnuts, which was then developed by Trapani sailors with the products of their land, notably tomato and almonds.[3]

"Busiati with pesto trapanese" is listed as a traditional Italian food product (P.A.T.) by the Ministry of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies.[4]
