Description

Trofie al Pesto is one of the most classic Ligurian dishes. Trofie is naturally vegan as it made purely of durum wheat pasta which we exclusively source from a sole miller in Italy where we buy the highest-grade durum. The pesto we have selected is fresh pesto which is not pasteurised. The shorter shelf life product is worth the trouble because you can feel the flavours coming through the effort of ‘Pestare’ which literally means to pound. To make pesto basil, olive oil, pine nuts, Pecorino Romano and Parmesan are pounded with a wooden pestle and marble mortar. It takes a long time to produce a very small amount. Fortunately, we have taken all the hard work away and you just have to follow the simple instructions below.

Ingredients

250 g La Tua Pasta Trofie
80 g fresh Genovese Pesto
150 g cherry tomatoes
Olive oil

Please note that some essential ingredients may
be listed in the recipe but not included when purchasing.

Instructions

In a large saucepan add 1 litre of salted water for every 100g of pasta. For 250g of pasta add 2.5 litres of water.

Bring the water to a gentle boil and put in the Trofie. Cook for 3-4 minutes depending on preference.

Whilst the pasta is cooking, half the tomatoes. Add them to a large bowl with the Pesto and 2 tablespoons of pasta water.

Once cooked, drain the pasta and place it directly into your tomato and pesto medley, add a drizzle of olive oil and combine.

Buon Appetito!
