Organic Whole Wheat Timilia Busiate from Trapani

A 100% organic Timilia pasta, the result of an entirely Sicilian supply chain that monitors the grain from cultivation to extrusion. Timilia, also known as Tumminia, is an ancient short-cycle durum wheat variety already present in Sicily during the Greek era: a true jewel of Sicilian agriculture. Stone milling preserves the wheat germ intact, rich in vitamins and trace elements, while bronze drawing gives the surface that characteristic roughness which, combined with the shape, perfectly holds any sauce. Slow drying at low temperatures and the delicate quality of Timilia gluten ensure excellent digestibility: a pasta that does not weigh you down or cause bloating.

Whole durum wheat semolina Timilia* (Tumminia) stone-ground and mineral water. Nothing more.
*from organic farming – Antichi Granai supply chain, Sicily

Cook the busiate in plenty of salted water following the cooking times indicated on the label, drain al dente, and toss them directly into the sauce with a ladle of cooking water to enhance their creaminess. Being whole wheat pasta, they may require 1-2 minutes longer than white pasta. The quintessential pairing is pesto alla trapanese with tomato, almonds, basil, garlic, and Sicilian pecorino, enhanced by the intense character of the Timilia. They are also spectacular with Bronte pistachio pesto, sarde a beccafico, Norma sauce, eggplant with olives and capers, Trapani-style tuna ragù, or tuna bottarga. To complete your pantry, pair them with Sicilian tomato purée or organic chickpeas and lentils.
