Typicall pasta used in the past in Genoa for minestrone (vegetable soup). It’s name came from couscous, in fact our forebears mangle the diction saying 'cuscusumo' or 'cuccusn'.
The form of this spherical pasta smaller than a chick-pea reminds you of the colour of the African dish. It is more and more difficult to find on an Ligurian table as it has lost it’s appeal to that of the past now made by the commercial industry. A goodMinestrone with pesto and the Scûrcuzun is certainly an experience worth trying.
