How to make
Pasta trofie looks like small spindle-shaped spirals (similar to a corkscrew) - 1.5″ (3-4 cm) long.
The pasta is made from durum wheat with only water and salt. Small strips are made, which are turned with a peculiar movement of the hand, like rubbing.
The classic trofie is served with pesto genovese. In some areas - with crab ragout or potatoes and beans. The recipes are many and varied.
Here's my recipe for you:
In a pot of boiling salted water, boil the trofie according to the instructions on the package. If the pasta is fresh, it needs about 6-7 minutes.
Strain the pasta, put it in a baking pan and drizzle it with olive oil. Mix well.
Pour the milk into a pan. Add the ricotta and cook for a few minutes, until the milk is homogenized with the ricotta. Remove the pan from the heat.
Flavor with finely chopped sage leaves and a pinch of lemon peel. Pour the pasta sauce over the pasta.
Add the sliced ham, sprinkle with grated parmesan and mix the products. Bake the pasta at 370°F (190°C) in a preheated oven with a fan, until it aquires a golden brown color.
Enjoy this oven-baked trofie pasta!
