Trofie of Chestnuts, a gift from the inland woods You say trofie and immediately think of Genoa, the Eastern Riviera, where the housewives taught everyone how to twist the thread of dough around the bicelä (a wooden knitting pin) to create the curl to be modeled then by hand. But there is also another trophy, the one with chestnut flour in addition to durum wheat semolina and water, which can be defined as equally typical of the Ligurian tradition. Our Chestnut Trofie is a tribute to one of the finest fruits of the woods of the Ligurian hinterland, especially the Savona area, where autumn is a season of harvest and celebration. Try them, for example, with a sauce made with pumpkin, sausage and dry white wine. A patient wait of 12 minutes, for the cooking of the pasta and the excitement will be served.
