Trottole is a type of pasta that is shaped like spinning tops, hence their name, which means “tops” in Italian. These small, twirly noodles are made from durum wheat semolina and water, and they are often used in simple pasta dishes to make the most of their unique shape and texture.

One of the best ways to enjoy trottole is by pairing them with the first of the season. These fresh and flavorful veggies make a perfect companion to the chewy noodles, creating a delicious and healthy meal that is easy to prepare and perfect for any occasion.

To make a simple and satisfying trottole pasta with first vegetables dish, begin by gathering your ingredients. You’ll need about 12 ounces of trottole pasta, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 cloves of garlic (finely chopped), 1 medium zucchini (diced), 1 medium yellow squash (diced), 1 red bell pepper (cored, seeded, and diced), 1/2 cup of chicken or vegetable broth, salt, pepper, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

First, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the trottole pasta and cook for about 8-10 minutes or until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of the water. Set the pasta aside.

Next, heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the diced zucchini, yellow squash, and red bell pepper to the pan, and season with salt and pepper. Sauté the vegetables for about 4-5 minutes or until they are tender, but still slightly crunchy.

Pour the chicken or vegetable broth into the pan with the vegetables, and scrape the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Reduce the heat to low, and let the vegetable broth simmer until it’s slightly thickened.

Add the cooked trottole pasta to the pan with the vegetables, and stir gently until the noodles are fully coated with the broth and vegetables. If the mixture seems too dry, add a splash of the reserved pasta cooking water to loosen it up.

Finally, sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the top of your trottole pasta with first vegetables dish, and garnish with chopped fresh herbs like parsley or basil. Serve hot, and enjoy!
