Agrigento villas

Agrigento boasts outstanding culinary traditions that a number of delicious dishes have rendered most famous. Among these are the pasta with ricotta and fava-beans – from a country tradition –, the pasta with sardines alla sciacchitana, the so-called pasta Tiano d’Aragona, the tortino di melanzane – an eggplant pie – and the pasta allo sfincione. Sweets are as much appreciated; noteworthy are the cucuzzata, the pumpkin jam – much used in the confectionery – and the Uova murine, a traditional sweet from Sciacca.
