Trofie with zucchini and walnut pesto

Trofie with zucchini and walnut pesto

This recipe was prepared by Emanuela who chose our Trofie paired with a zucchini and walnut pesto.

It is a first course rich in nutrients but also a valid single dish for those with a calorie deficit, it will be tasty even without grated cheese.

Our traditional trofie are a tribute to Ligurian cuisine and combined with Genoese pesto they represent a great classic. The addition of walnuts makes it even more flavorful and nutritious. A perfect solution for the whole family.

Thanks Emanuela for your delicious recipe!
