Made the same way it has been made for generations, using just 2 simple ingredients: high-quality, carefully selected durum wheat and water to create the authentic Italian taste.
Making Italy's best pasta for over 140 years, Barilla's Collezione Trofie Liguri owes its name to the word ""strofissià"", which in the Genoese dialect means to rub, referring way the pasta is made by hand. Popular in Liguria in the Genoa region of Italy, Trofie is tapered and intertwined in shape, and unique in texture.
It pairs best with vegetable sauces, particularly Pesto alla Genovese, however, it also works with cheese-based and tomato-based sauces, too.
Barilla Trofie cooks in just 10 minutes. Simply bring water to a boil in a large pot then add the Trofie along with a generous pinch of sea salt to enhance the pasta's flavour. For authentic ""al dente"" pasta, boil uncovered, stirring occasionally for 10 minutes. For pasta that's more tender, boil for an additional minute. Drain well and serve immediately with your favourite Barilla sauce.
