Organic Trofie Pasta

"Sometimes, one can only be satiated by a bowl of really good pasta. Trader Joe’s Organic Trofie Pasta is one such majestic macaroni. What makes this noodle noteworthy? It starts with the Italian pasta maker sourcing high quality, organic, and local durum wheat semolina, then going the extra mile to mill the flour themselves. High quality tools are equally essential—bronze-coated shaping disks are used to produce thick, textured noodles that deliver a perfectly al dente texture, crucial to support the heftiness of your sauce while maintaining a delicate chew. The Trofie pasta shape originates from Liguria, the northwest coastal region of Italy, famous for pesto. You could say pesto is Trofie’s soul-sauce, a match made in pasta-eating heaven. But limiting Trofie to a single sauce would be a mistake. These short, twisted noodles pair well with a variety of sauces, in both hot and cold applications. Add them to soup or make a warm pasta salad with a jar of Cracked Olive Salad for swoon-worthy results!"
