trofie
/ˈtrəʊfɪeɪ
/plural noun
Pasta in the form of short irregularly twisted pieces with pointed ends, traditionally eaten with pesto: Phil tried the pizza and I had trofie with pesto genovese...
- If you can't find trofie then a similar shaped pasta will do, or you could even use spaghetti.
- There are only three pastas on the menu, among them an absolutely terrific trofie, made in-house and tossed with fava beans and pecorino cheese.
- The trofie are mixed with Ligurian pesto and stracchino, which gently bind the pasta strands.
Origin
Italian, from a Ligurian form corresponding to strofinare 'rub, polish', with reference to the movement of the hands in moulding the pasta.
