Description

And the trofie for fastest pasta goes to… this winning midweek special. Much-loved in their native Liguria region of Italy, fresh twists of trofie have a tapered shape that’s perfect for picking up pesto of different types. We’re pairing them with sun-dried tomato pesto loosened with veg demi-glace and butter. Sautéed veggies—leeks, shaved Brussels sprouts and wilted leafy greens—add volume and interest. In a final act of finesse, top with crispy croutons and sharp fresh chives.

Recipe Instructions

Step 1: Boil the pasta

Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta; stir gently to separate. Boil, 4 to 6 min., until al dente. Reserving 1 cup cooking water (double for 4 portions), drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Sauté the vegetables

Meanwhile, in a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the Brussels sprouts and leeks. Sauté, 4 to 5 min., until softened; season with the spices and S&P.

Step 3: Make the sauce

To the pan of vegetables, add the pesto, demi-glace, 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions) and ½ the reserved cooking water. Cook, stirring constantly, 2 to 3 min., until simmering.

Step 4: Combine the pasta

To the pan of sauce, add the spinach. Cook, stirring constantly, 1 to 2 min., until the spinach has wilted. Add the pasta and cook, stirring constantly, 1 to 2 min., until coated and combined; season with S&P. If the sauce seems dry, gradually add the remaining cooking water until you achieve your desired consistency.

Step 5: Finish & serve

Thinly slice the chives. Divide the pasta between your bowls. Garnish with the croutons and chives. Bon appétit!
