troffie(te)

/trohf-FYEH-(teh)/
[Italian]

Small pieces of pasta like squiggly worms traditionally made by the women of the Rechesse valley in Liguria with durum wheat, formed into small squiggles of rolled dough. They may be served with pesto. This pasta needs to cook for about 22 minutes. They might almost be termed gnocchi rather than pasta.
