Trofie

Trofie is a pasta made in Liguria, Italy.

It is long and straight, but twisty like a corkscrew.

The dough is made from durum wheat flour and water. It is shaped into small ropes of pasta that are worked on a flat surface until they are round, then twisted. Some people wrap the formed rope around a stick to twist it.

In Genoa, Trofie are often served tossed in a pesto sauce with cooked green beans and sliced potatoes.
