Trofiette Pasta by Pastificio Artigianale

Trofie or trofiette pasta is a traditional, and one of the most popular, Ligurian pasta shapes.

Trofiette by Alta Valle is made using durum wheat semolina and water. This thin, tight twist shaped pasta has the appearance of being hand rolled and then “pinched” at each end. It is commonly served with basil pesto or walnut pesto since its twisted shape holds these sauces nicely.

Trofiette is also delicious when served with fresh seasonal vegetables like green beans or spinach served with pancetta or potatoes in a rich meat based broth. Try trofiette with butter and fresh herbs served with a meaty fish or with shellfish.

Each bag contains 500 gr of Trofiette by Pastificio Artigianale Alta Valle from Italy.
