Bosa Foods is an Italian/Mediterranean specialty grocery store in Vancouver and I love going there. The cheeses, the olives, the meats, the breads, the olive oils, the balsamic vinegars….it’s foodie heaven.
But none of those are in my favourite aisle. No…my favourite aisle, and it’s an entire aisle, the width of the store, both sides, top to bottom….pasta.
Every shape you could ever imagine, for every dish you could ever want to cook with pasta.
If you can’t find it at Bosa, it’s not worth finding.
Tonight was a pasta night and I really had no other inspiration. I spent the day on the computer, meetings, a physiology seminar on Zoom, another meeting, review a document, write a research support letter…. try to decide if I’m on board with a new organizational model..it was a day, a day without thought to picking up my camera, and then suddenly it was dinner time.
So this was one of those “I got nuthin” shots.
This particular pasta shape is called Fusilli Bucati Corti. It translates to ‘short hollow fusilli’. If you are a pasta nerd and want to learn more about it…here you go… https://www.the-pasta-project.com/fusilli-bucati/
For me, it’s a toss-up between this shape and radiatori (they resemble radiators) as a favourite. Does anyone else have a favourite pasta shape? It can’t be just me…..

I love your photo of the fusilli bucati. Looks like a very good quality artisan pasta (not smooth and shiny!) I also love the pasta aisles and being Italy means they can be pretty long! Thanks for sharing the link to my blog. Much appreciated! Jacqui

I love pasta shapes too, there aren’t too many available in our stores – and I haven’t been most of this year anyway – but I sometimes buy them online from a specialis deli.
