Linguine with pesto

by:




Linguine with pesto is traditional in some parts of Liguria, whereas in the city of Genova they often prefer pesto with trofie, small triangles of pasta, which you can buy fresh in the pasticceria, and which were originally made with leftover pieces, rolled up, then flattened, so they look like tiny uncooked croissants or long, thin maggots. What is beautiful about trofie is that the oily pesto gets inside them and attaches itself to all their twists, but somehow the trofie seem to remain white against the green of the sauce.
