Industrially-produced pastas only emerged towards the end of the nineteenth century, which saw a huge shift in the way pasta was both made and the variety of shapes on offer. In Palermo, the regions capital, the way these staples are used together is evident in a trio of pasta dishes: pasta con le sarde (pasta with sardines), pasta canciuova e muddica atturrata (pasta with anchovies and toasted breadcrumbs), and pasta chi vruoccoli arriminati (pasta with stirred cauliflower). While there are certain varieties that have found a home in kitchen cupboards throughout Italy, how pasta is served can even differ between neighbouring towns.
But there are massive regional differences in the poorer south, a rough dough is created using semolina flour, whereas in the north, more intricate egg-rich pastas are enjoyed. With more than 350 different shapes of pasta: thick, thin, short, long, hollow, smooth, ridged and wavy, the Italians have literally created a shape of.

There are obvious benefits for using a sheet of lasagne in a baked dish instead of serving it with a sauce, but it’s harder to see the difference between spaghetti and linguine, for example. With at least 350 different types of pasta made around the world, you could almost eat a different one on every day of the year. Sicilians often eat casarecce with what is known as Sicilian pesto. You can find it pretty much anywhere, but in Palermo I recommend Ferro di Cavallo.

Aubergines or eggplants, tomatoes, basil and ricotta salata, a salted ricotta cheese. This pasta dish is rather simple and made with just a handful of ingredients.

Pasta alla Norma is an iconic Sicilian pasta dish and a culinary specialty of Catania. The best way to taste this delicious shape is when paired with Trapani’s own pesto, made with basil, garlic, tomatoes, olive oil and ricotta.
