Trofie is a traditional Ligurian pasta with thick twisted solid strands that are chewy in texture. Trofie pasta is traditionally served with pesto; its twisted shape allows the pesto to effectively stick to the pasta for a super flavourful pasta bite.

The first ever made trofie originated in Sori, a town close to Genova. While it's not certain, it seems that the name trofie might have come from the word strufuggia, which in the local dialect means to rub. And rubbing is exactly the movement made by the hand and nowadays also by machines, to obtain the trofie pasta shape.

If you wondering how to cook trofie pasta, adding Basil Pesto is the classic way but not the only one.
