Trofie are a traditional Italian short pasta, known for their unique shape that resembles the spiral of a corkscrew or a wood chip. The pasta is made by twisting very thin strips of dough into tight spirals, starting from the center.

Thanks to its distinctive shape and artisanal production method, Trofie retains sauces and condiments beautifully, mimicking the texture and qualities of fresh pasta. When cooked, trofie have a delightful firm bite.
A staple of Ligurian cuisine, Trofie are most famously paired with pesto genovese, a Ligurian specialty that is renowned worldwide. This pasta is perfect for pesto, as its shape allows the sauce to cling to it wonderfully. Trofie also pair wonderfully with all types of tomato-based sauces.

For the best texture, cook the pasta al dente. This fresh and aromatic dish is best enjoyed with a light olive oil that enhances the basil's fragrance.
