About Trofie pasta

Trofie is a short, twisted pasta associated with Liguria in northwestern Italy. Traditionally made from wheat flour and water, the pieces are shaped by rolling small portions into tapered, irregular twists. Commercial versions may differ from handmade pasta in ingredients, size and surface texture, and some products use different flour blends.

Dried trofie are firm and pale; once cooked, they become tender with a pleasantly dense bite and a shape that holds sauce. They are sold dried or, less commonly, fresh, and cooking characteristics vary with the product. The name denotes this particular pasta shape, not pasta generally, and other twists may have different dimensions or ingredients.
