Short facts : Unique shaped pasta and linked closely to the Liguria cuisine

Trofie pasta is a type of traditional Italian pasta from the Liguria, a region in northwest Italy. It is made with a dough made from flour and water, which is then rolled into thin, twisted strands that helps it hold onto sauces well. Trofie pasta is known for its unique shape, which is achieved by rolling small pieces of dough between the palms of the hands to create a twisted, spiral-like shape. It is often served with pesto sauce or other light sauces that can coat its twisted shape effectively. Trofie pasta is typically eaten in the Ligurian cuisine, where it is a popular choice for dishes like Trofie al Pesto.
