TROFIE ALLA GENOVESE



Trofie alla Genovese image

Pesto pasta combined with potatoes and french green beans... hands down one of the tastiest vegetarian dishes I've ever had. Homemade trofie takes it to a whole other level, but I didn't feel like getting into all that here. Not quite authentic?-the lemon and vegetable stock are mine.

Time 2h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

⅓ cup pine nuts
1 ½ cups chopped fresh basil
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil, or more to taste
4 cloves garlic, minced
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 cups vegetable stock, or more as needed
8 ounces haricots verts
1 large russet potato, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 lb trofie pasta (preferably fresh)
4 wedges fresh lemon

Steps:

  • Start by making the pesto: Heat a dry pan over medium-low heat. Add pine nuts and roast, tossing occasionally, until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a food processor.
  • Add basil, Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup olive oil, and garlic to the pine nuts; pulse until pesto is smooth. Add more olive oil if pesto is too thick. Season with salt and pepper and let rest for 1 hour.
  • Prepare pasta: Bring vegetable stock to a boil in a large pot. Add haricots verts and boil for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to a simmer, add potato, and cook until both are fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Remove vegetables with a slotted spoon, leaving broth in the pot.
  • Add trofie pasta to the broth and boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 8 minutes for dry pasta and 3 to 4 minutes for fresh. Drain.
  • Combine potatoes, green beans, and pasta with the reserved pesto and toss together. Plate immediately with a wedge of lemon.

TROFIE AL PESTO

Enjoy the meditative process of making your own trofie pasta and then savor the results once cooked and tossed with a bright and herby homemade pesto.

Provided by Rachel Lerro

Time 1h35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup water, or more to taste
2 large eggs
1 splash olive oil
2 pinches salt
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
2 ½ tablespoons pine nuts
2 ½ cups lightly packed fresh basil
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Combine flour, 1/4 cup water, eggs, olive oil, and salt for pasta in the bowl of a food processor; pulse a few times until just combined. Pinch dough to see if it sticks together and forms a small clump. If it's dry or crumbly, add more water, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, just until the dough forms a ball.
  • Dump dough onto a floured surface. Knead until dough is smooth and bounces back when you poke it. Wrap in plastic and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • Remove dough from the refrigerator and pull off a small chunk, about 1/2 teaspoon or smaller. Place dough at the bottom of a wooden cutting board and starting with the tips or your fingers, firmly roll up the board, like you are rolling the dough into a tube. Once the dough is at the base of your palm, keep pressure on it and pull it back and down the board, diagonally at a 45-degree angle to create a spiral shape. Repeat until all dough has been shaped.
  • Combine garlic and pine nuts in the bowl of a food processor; process until sandy in texture. Add basil and oil and process until smooth. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until combined. Taste and add salt if needed.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add trofie and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.
  • Toss cooked trofie with pesto and serve immediately.
