The Borfecchias — one of the founding families of the Mafia in 19th century Sicily — were forced to move to Chicago after a vendetta was placed on them for the murder of a rival family member. During the era of prohibition in America, the Borfecchias used their links in Sicily to smuggle whiskey, gin, & rum in crates of pasta across the Atlantic Ocean. A family pasta recipe that has been passed down through the Borfecchia generations.
