Macarrones de busa

Macarrones de busa is a traditional handmade Sardinian pasta known for its rough texture and unique preparation method. It is made using only durum wheat semolina and water, without eggs, following the island’s ancient pasta-making traditions.

What sets macarrones de busa apart is its distinctive hollow shape, created by rolling the dough around a thin iron rod or knitting needle called "busa" (hence the name). This technique gives the pasta a tube-like form with a slightly uneven surface, making it perfect for holding sauces.
