Trofie (), less frequently troffie, strofie or stroffie, is a short, thin, twisted pasta from the Liguria region of Italy.
These thin, twisted shapes are believed to have originated in Sori, a town in the province of Genoa. In the Ligurian dialect, the term trofie refers to "gnocchi," while trofietta means a "small gnocco"—a pasta made from flour and potatoes, quite different in both shape and texture.
