The Trapani style pesto is an old recipe from Trapani, which originates from the ingredients of trade between Italy and the Orient.

The merchant fleet from Genoa always landed in Trapani, one of the major cities in Sicily. So the Ligurian pesto was enriched with local ingredients to Trapani. This is why tomatoes and almonds were added.

The result was a typical summer recipe that, unlike the Genoese pesto, contains no cheese.

Traditionally, pesto alla trapanese serves as a sauce for the pasta shape "Busiati". This is a type of pasta that is very similar to macaroni.
