Istruzioni preparazione:

Gouged gnocculi and busiate are two kinds of pasta from Trapani. The ingredients of the mixture are the same for both types of dough: water, wheat flour, a pinch of salt and elbow grease.
Crush the garlic with two, three basil leaves and a pinch of salt. When the garlic is reduced to a pulp, add the al-monds, a few at a time, and continue
to beat. When the almonds are well pounded and combined with the
garlic, pour into the bowl where you will mix it with the pasta.
Peel the tomatoes, get rid of its seeds and carefully crush them. Put the tomatoes in the bowl also, add four tablespoons of pecorino (or primosale if you prefer a more delicate flavour) cheese, a handful of basil leaves, freshly ground black pepper and mix everything with four tablespoons of olive oil.
Bring the fresh pasta to the boil and keep it in the pan two minutes before
draining, and meanwhile dilute the pesto with a few tablespoons of the water
where you were cooking the pasta in.
Drain the pasta, toss in the bowl with the pesto, enrich it with more basil,
add a little olive oil and serve with the complement of fried eggplant, fried potatoes, fried fish…
