Trofie with pesto alla Genovese

from Ostro: The Pleasure That Comes from Slowing Down and Cooking with Simple Ingredients (page 108) by Julia Busuttil Nishimura

Trofie: Equal parts semolina flour and 00 flour with some salt. I didn’t have any semolina flour left so I ground semolina down using the Thermomix.

The method in this video is easier than the book. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EBCG2CwqG4&t=16s


Basil Pesto: garlic, salt, pine nuts, equal parts parmesan & pecorino, basil and EVOO.


Red Washed potatoes and green beens.
Very good comfort food.
