DE CECCO TROFIE N.188 GR.500

Trofie are one of the most popular pasta shapes in Ligurian cuisine and owe their name to the word "strofissià",

word in Genoese dialect which means "to rub" - for the rubbing movement of the hands that gives

this pasta its particular tapered ends and twisted shape.

The unusual spiral of the body and the bronze drawing allow the Trofie to capture and enhance any sauce or condiment for maximum flavor.

The traditional recipe combines pasta with Genoese pesto. An alternate version, also used for

other types of pasta with pesto, involves boiling with potatoes and green beans.

Another very popular recipe, especially in southern Italy, provides pesto made with pistachios and speck (smoked ham).

Available in packs of 500 gr.

Cooking time 11 minutes / Al dente 9 minutes
