Weis Organic Durum Wheat Farfalle Pasta
What it is
This is a package of organic durum wheat pasta shaped like bow ties, also known as farfalle. It is made from 100% durum wheat, a hard variety of wheat often used for pasta making. The pasta is certified organic, meaning it was produced without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. It comes in a 16-ounce package, providing a substantial amount for several meals.
How people cook with it
Farfalle pasta is a versatile shape that works well in many dishes. Its unique form holds sauces effectively.
- Tossed with pesto
- Mixed into pasta salads
- Served with creamy sauces
- Added to baked pasta dishes
To prepare this pasta, bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil. Add the farfalle pasta and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until al dente, which means it is tender but still firm to the bite. Drain the pasta well, reserving some of the cooking water. You can then toss it with your favorite sauce, vegetables, or other ingredients, using a little of the reserved pasta water to help the sauce coat the pasta evenly.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike some other pasta shapes, farfalle's distinctive bow-tie form has a thicker center and thinner edges. This creates a pleasing textural contrast when cooked. The use of 100% durum wheat contributes to a firm texture that holds its shape well during cooking.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a classic pasta shape for everyday meals will appreciate this product.
How to keep the rest
After opening the package, store any remaining pasta in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This will help keep it fresh and prevent it from absorbing odors or moisture from the environment. Proper storage ensures the pasta remains in good condition for future use.
