Recipe for Trofie pasta with pesto and cherry tomatoes
Ingredients for 4 people:
- 300 g of fresh trofie
- 100 g. of pesto
- 100 g. of fresh cherry tomatoes
- extra virgin olive oil
- salt
Preparation:
To prepare a delicious dish of pasta with pesto and cherry tomatoes, start by preparing the sauce. Cut the cherry tomatoes into large pieces and cook them lightly in a pan with a little oil and salt. This will give them a delicious and intense flavor. Once the cherry tomatoes are slightly cooked, add the pesto and mix well. The pesto will add an extra basil and cheese flavor to the sauce.
Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. When the water boils, add the trofie and cook them until al dente. This means they are soft but still slightly firm. This will give the pasta a perfect texture to absorb the sauce.
Once the pasta is ready, drain it and dress it with the cherry tomato and pesto sauce. Mix well to make sure the sauce is evenly distributed. Now your pasta with pesto and cherry tomatoes is ready to serve. This dish is delicious both hot and cold, so you can choose how you prefer to serve it.
In the case of pasta with pesto and cherry tomatoes, a crisp white wine can be an excellent choice, as the delicate flavors of the dish can easily be overwhelmed by a heavier wine.
Vermentino or a Pinot blanc are two crisp white wine options that go perfectly with this dish. Both wines have a light, fresh flavor that pairs well with the delicate flavors of the pasta with pesto and cherry tomatoes. Let it cool and enjoy your delicious pasta with pesto and cherry tomatoes.
Enjoy your meal!
