]]> Trofie pasta is one of my newly discovered favorite of pastas. It has a texture similar to that of a gnocchi, just not as thick. This pasta is rolled by hand give it a twisted look. We are normally not too crazy about pairing any tomato sauces with our pastas but every now and then it’s good to make an exception, and the family agreed in this case. I discovered this pasta at Carmine’s Gourmet Market in Palm Beach Gardens after many recommendations from my coworker Sonya. There is a overwhelming variety of anything and everything Italian along with the most extensive selection of meats and seafood. Their pasta section is something drool over as they have a wide array of all kinds of pasta. I had also picked up a bag of squid in pasta as well so stay tuned for that upcoming recipe! This trofie pasta with tomato sauce recipe came about from a mixture of wants and desires coupled with needing to make something easy tonight, and sometimes that’s good enough for me. Enjoy this easy dish that is sure to satisfy any hungry stomach.
