They offer a convenient way to enjoy a warm, flavorful snack or appetizer.

To prepare, simply remove the desired amount of appetizers from the freezer. They can be baked in a conventional oven until they are heated through and the pasta is golden brown. Alternatively, they can be prepared in an air fryer for a crispier texture. Ensure they are fully cooked before serving. They are best served warm, allowing the cheese filling to become gooey and delicious. They do not require any additional preparation beyond heating.

Unlike fresh appetizers, these are frozen for convenience and longer shelf life. The bowtie shape offers a unique presentation compared to more common shapes like squares or circles. The combination of kale and cheese provides a distinct flavor profile that differs from simpler cheese-only options.
