Boston Pasta Passport

Tasting trail

The Islands

Ancient grains, saffron, seafood, sheep's milk cheese, breadcrumbs, citrus and island pasta shapes.

Sicilia and Sardegna are not simply "southern". They are islands with their own grains, their own shapes and centuries of arrivals baked into the sauce.

Estimated pace: 2–3 outings
