Knopfli con il pesto genovese.
Il pesto e’ sicuramente una delle salse piu’ famose della cucina italiana. Lo si puo’ sposare con molti tipi di pasta.
In questo caso e’ stato usato per condire un tipo di pasta tipico svizzero, i knopfli (in tedesco Spätzle), che solitamente vengono solamente bolliti ed usati come contorno di altri piatti.
I knopfli sono molto simili alle trofie (o trofiette di Recco) per cui l’accoppiata rende molto.
Handmade by my mom and this is the recipe!

Spätzle (a Swabian dialect term meaning little sparrows) are irregularly shaped dumplings made from soft wheat flour, eggs and water, originally from southern Germany, but also very popular in Tyrol, Alsace and Switzerland, Trentino-Alto Adige, despite their native land being Swabia and Bavaria (south-western Germany).
Sometimes beer or milk is used instead of water.

Knopfli, a typical Swiss dish, seasoned with pesto.
It's not exactly the type of pasta that is easily found paired with pesto but these splendid knopfli (in German Spätzle, a type of Swiss pasta that is very similar to Genoese trofie) made at the moment are truly exquisite.
You will hardly be able to eat them if not at my house!
