Trofie

Trofie , less frequently troffie, strofie or stroffie, is a short, thin, twisted pasta from the Liguria region of Italy. The origin of this pasta name is not certain. It is believed to come from the Ligurian verb strufuggiâ, meaning 'to rub', as a reference to its method of preparation, which consists in "rubbing" or rolling a small piece of dough on the pastry board. Similarly, the root of Ligurian strofia might be Ancient Greek στρωφάω, 'to twist, to spin', or στρέφω, 'to cause to rotate, to twist, plait',[a] referring to the same motion required to produce trofie.
