What is this product?
Trofie Genovesi are fresh, refrigerated pasta made from durum wheat semolina, water and eggs. Their elongated, twisted Ligurian shape holds pesto and other sauces well. The product is supplied in a 1 kg protective-atmosphere pack and is not a dried pasta.
Producer and format
Pastificio Stroppa Srl is the supplier identified for this product. The working unit is one 1 kg pack, a practical format for portioning in a professional kitchen.
Organoleptic profile
Fresh pasta has a soft, elastic bite and a clean wheat-and-egg profile. The twisted surface gives sauces good adhesion while keeping a recognisable pasta texture after short cooking.
Professional uses and dosing
Use the trofie with pesto alla Genovese, traditionally with potatoes and green beans, or with another sauce suited to fresh pasta. Start with 80 to 100 g per first-course portion and cook for 4 to 5 minutes in boiling salted water, then adjust to the service plan.
Common mistakes to avoid
Do not handle trofie like dried pasta: avoid soaking, rough stirring and excessive cooking. Separate the pieces gently, drain as soon as they are ready and dress them promptly so the twisted shape does not become soft or lose its sauce adhesion.
Storage and handling
Keep the unopened pack refrigerated at plus 4 degrees Celsius, following the product label. Respect the protective-atmosphere packaging, close the pack after opening and use the fresh pasta promptly within the stated date.
