Key Product Features

Rustichella d’Abruzzo Organic Timilia Busiate combine a traditional Sicilian pasta shape with one of the island’s most distinctive heritage wheat varieties.

Busiate are long, loosely twisted pasta spirals traditionally associated with western Sicily. Their curled shape captures pesto, chopped tomatoes, almonds, seafood and other textured Mediterranean sauces.

This artisanal pasta is made with organic Timilia durum wheat semolina and water. Timilia—also known as Tumminia—is an ancient Sicilian wheat variety with a naturally rustic character and a rich, nutty flavor reminiscent of traditional Sicilian bread.

Rustichella stone-grinds the dark Timilia grains into semi-whole wheat semolina before combining them with spring water. The pasta is then bronze cut and slowly dried to create a firm texture and porous surface that holds sauce beautifully. 

Busiate are a traditional Sicilian pasta shape made from thin tubes of dough twisted into loose spirals.

The name is commonly connected to the buso, a narrow knitting needle historically used to shape the pasta. Another interpretation links it to the Mediterranean grass once used by farmers to bind sheaves of wheat.

Their twisted structure is particularly effective with sauces containing finely chopped ingredients, because tomatoes, almonds, herbs and seafood settle between the curves.

Rustichella d'Abruzzo is the italian premium brand of artisan pasta in 70 countries in the world.

In 1924 Gaetano Sergiacomo, maternal grandfather of the current owners Gianluigi and Maria Stefania Peduzzi and son of famous millers who worked in the Vestina area, decided to exit the family business, establishing the pasta factory "Pastificio Gaetano Sergiacomo"​ in Penne. In 1980 under the watchful and far-sighted eye of Piero Peduzzi, the Pastificio Sergiacomo becomes Rustichella d'Abruzzo, guaranteeing both quality and authenticity. The Peduzzi Siblings have concentrated their energies on creating the company's image and contributing to making the name of Rustichella d'Abruzzo as synonymous of international quality and excellence.

Since 1924 true family tradition, because to make a pasta is a family matter!
