Busiate trapanesi (FATTE IN CASA) - Ricetta

pine nuts

🥗Healthier: walnuts

💰Cheaper: sunflower seeds

Walnuts provide healthy fats and are often cheaper than pine nuts.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grana padano

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free option with a cheesy flavor.

Prepare the busiate pasta by mixing 400 g of semolina flour with approximately 200 g of water to form a dough.

Roll the dough into long, thin shapes to create the busiate.

Cook the busiate in boiling salted water until al dente.

In a blender, combine 250 g of cherry tomatoes, 50 g of blanched and unroasted almonds, 1 clove of garlic, and some basil leaves to make the pesto.

Add 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil to the pesto mixture and blend until smooth.

Season the pesto with salt and pepper to taste.

Drain the cooked busiate and toss it with the pesto sauce.

Serve with grated aged Sicilian pecorino cheese on top.
