Siracusa served on the table!

One of the specialities in Siracusa, but also in the rest of Sicily by the sea, is linguine or spaghetti with sea urchins and pasta with black sauce!

Spaghetti with sea urchins:

It's very easy and fast to do.

You simply need a portion of sea urchins'eggs.
In Ortigia at the market you can buy a little glass of sea urchin to make two (according to the Sicilian portion for pasta!!) or three dishes.

Just fry some garlic on extra vergin olive oil (I prefer to remove garlic, then)
pour the sea urchins eggs and some drops of white wine for a few second and switch the fire off.
When spaghetti are ready mix together, adding some fresh leaves of presley!

Spaghetti with black sauce.

Fry some garlic and a little spoon of tomato concentrate.
Add squids in slices and the black ink (you have to ask for to the fisherman!)
Then pour tomato sauce and cook for a while.
When the sauce is ready , dress your tagliatelle or spaghetti!
My advice? I like to put some fresh ricotta cheese on it!

* If you decide to have these specialities at the restaurant or in a trattoria remember that :

in Italian spaghetti with sea urchins are spaghetti ai ricci
and spaghetti/pasta with black sauce is spaghetti/pasta al sugo nero

And if you find the trattoria that makes ravioli di ricotta=Ricotta cheese ravioli with black sauce,they are the best!!

Busulmona : XIXth century farmhouse, once property of the Cavaliere Sessa, today run by the family Di Pino. 5 km far from Noto it is immersed in a wonderful almond grove and carobs olives and all the colours of nature make of this piece of Sicily a true paradise! It works as a B&B at the moment with only two bedroom, but it's also possible to have lunch tasting olive oil and almonds and wathever what rigorously the family produce and cook for you! Tranquillity, harmony, genuinity.. this are the things coming to my mind when I was there The name Busulmona , which is the name of all that area,comes from the Arabic and means the land of sun.... an extraordinary view from the stone terrace on the Val di Noto, from Noto to Vendicari and Marzamemi... . for further information : www.busulmona.com
