TROFIE AL PESTO - Easy Homemade Pasta From Scratch • In this episode, I'd like to share with you 'Trofie Al Pesto' from scratch. A short, thin twisted pasta from the Liguria region of Northern Italy. The dough for the pasta made with semolina and/or flour, no eggs. The traditional way of preparing Trofie is with pesto, plus you can boil the pasta with diced potatoes and green beans. And you don't need a pasta machine or roller pin! It is a so much fun pasta to make, kids would love to do this :) • • To stay tuned upcoming videos SUBSCRIBE here: • / @elvancatarifler • INGREDIENTS: • 1 cup Flour + 1 cup Semolina • 1/2 cup water • 2 Potatoes • 250 gr. (1/2 pounds) French-cut Green beans • 1 cup Fresh Basil (Or Purple Basil) • 3 tbsp Pine Nuts • 100 gr. (1/4 pounds) Turkish Old Cheese - Aged Kashar • (or Parmesan) • 1/2 cup olive oil • Garlic, Salt Pepper • DIRECTIONS: • You might find Trofie at a grocery store, but this homemade one is seriously good :) • Combine 1 cup flour and Semolina in a food processor. • Add a pinch of salt. • Then pulse to mix dry ingredients together. • Add 1/2 cup water and pulse again until the dough comes together. • Transfer dough to a floured work surface. • And knead for at least 8 minutes. • Push the dough down and out, stretching it flat in front of you with • the heels of your hands. • By folding and turning 90 degrees after each fold. • (Always turn the dough in the same direction.) • Sprinkle the work surface with flour if needed. • After 8 minutes continue kneading for a couple more minutes until the dough is supple and silky. • Cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. • Meanwhile, toss the pine nuts for 3-4 minutes. • Rinse the basil leaves, discard the stalks. • Pesto is traditionally prepared in a mortar and pestle. • You can also use a blender or food processor :) • Place the cheese into the bowl of a food processor and pulse a several times. • Add pine nuts, basil leaves, 1 (big) clove garlic peeled, a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste and pulse again. • Scrape down the sides then add the olive oil and pulse again. • Transfer the pesto to a bowl and there you have it! • Line a large tray with a clean kitchen towel. • Divide the pasta dough into 8 pieces and work with a piece at a time keeping the rest wrapped, so it won't dry out. • Use your hands and roll the dough into a tube. • Divide it into two pieces and keep rolling each piece seperately • into a tube around 1/2 of an inch. • With a knife, cut the tube into a pea sized little pillows. • Take a piece of pillow and rub it briskly between the palms of your hands. • Transfer to the prepared tray. • Repeat the process with the remaining dough. • Then sprinkle the semolina over the top of the trofies. • Just before cooking, transfer trofies into a colander and shake it well to remove excess semolina. • Rinse potatoes and green beans and cut potatoes into thin slices. • When ready to cook, bring a large pot of salted water to boil then drop in all the trofies, potatoes and green beans, stir immediately. • My Trofie cooking time is usually 15 minutes but you can taste and cook until the desired 'bite' reached :) • Once cooked, reserve a small cup of pasta water and drain. • Pour the pesto sauce into the same pot and add some pasta water while stirring. • Pour the drained pasta and the veggies back into the pot, stir. • Add some more pasta water if desired. • Garnish with freshly ground black pepper, grate some cheese over top and serve immediately. • Pasta does not wait for anyone :) • READY :) Thank You For Watching! • If you enjoyed the video, please leave a like and subscribe to my channel.
