A recipe in the heart of Sori

Have you ever heard of trofie al pesto? Perhaps trofie al pesto "avantagge"?

It's one of the most typical and delicious dishes of Genoese cuisine: fresh pasta, Genoese pesto DOP, boiled potatoes, and green beans!

Thinking about it makes me feel like a child again: Grandpa Mario, making pesto strictly in a mortar, throws a handful of salt into boiling water, and in a few minutes my mouth starts watering... I'd never be able to resist a finger in the mortar to taste the freshly made pesto!

You should know that, right on the street where Nanin's home is located, is located the "Novella" company, a very famous pasta factory in Sori! The aroma of pesto will fill your way home!

I thought I'd share the recipe for trofie al pesto with you, guests and future guests! Mind you, it's not Grandpa Mario's; his pesto is a secret kept by my mother!

Here's the recipe for making pesto trofie pasta.
