If you’ve ever visited Liguria, you’ll know there’s only one true pairing when it comes to pasta and pesto - Trofie al Pesto. Trofie is a traditional Ligurian pasta shape, known for its short, twisted form that perfectly clings to creamy sauces, especially the region’s famous basil pesto. This classic combination is a staple of Ligurian cuisine and a must-try for lovers of authentic Italian food.
Our artisan Trofie pasta is crafted using only high-quality Apulian flour and water, following time-honoured methods to preserve its texture and taste. The pasta is then slow-dried at low temperatures, allowing it to retain its natural flavour and achieve the perfect al dente bite.
Naturally free from eggs and additives, our Trofie is 100% vegan and vegetarian friendly, making it an ideal choice for anyone seeking a traditional yet plant-based pasta option. Whether served with
pesto Genovese, creamy vegetable sauces, or light tomato-based condiments, this pasta shape adds an authentic Italian touch to your meals.
