€4-€12Traditional Ligurian Trofie in Genova
Trofie are a short pasta with an elongated, twisted shape, traditionally made with durum wheat semolina and water. Their compact, slightly rough surface is designed to hold sauces evenly.
The shape comes from a simple, repeated hand movement: a twisting gesture that creates a sturdy and functional structure. The result is an essential pasta, designed to integrate perfectly with preparations based on local herbs and oils.
They are sold fresh or dried and represent one of the most distinctive expressions of Ligurian culinary tradition.
