If you're looking for a pasta noodle that can pair well with a wide variety of sauces, look no further than Trader Joe's new Organic Trofie Pasta.
Trofie is a short, twisted pasta that hails from Liguria, Northern Italy. Trader Joe's take on the noodle is made by an Italian pasta maker who started with high-quality, organic, and local durum wheat semolina. After the flour is milled, the supplier uses bronze-coated shaping disks are used to produce thick, textured noodles. The result are short and thick noodles that support the heftiness of your chosen sauce, while also maintaining a delicate chew. As Trader Joe's explains, "These short, twisted noodles pair well with a variety of sauces, in both hot and cold applications."
