Belmorso Trofie is a traditional pasta born in Sori, a small town near Genova. The name is thought to derive from strufuggia, the local dialect word for “to rub” — which is exactly the hand motion used to give trofie its distinctive twisted shape.
Its tight spiral holds onto sauces beautifully, which is why trofie is classically paired with pesto alla Genovese. But it’s equally delicious with a rich meat ragù, a creamy walnut sauce, or a simple cherry tomato and fresh basil.
Cooking Instructions
Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil, add the pasta and cook for 12–15 minutes. Drain and dress with your favourite sauce.
