How people cook with it
This pasta is a great way to add visual interest and a hint of vegetable flavor to your meals. It works well in a variety of preparations.
- As a side dish
- In pasta salads
- Mixed with vegetables
- With your favorite sauce
To cook, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the bow tie pasta and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until al dente, which means it should be tender but still have a slight bite. Drain the pasta well. You can then toss it with butter or olive oil to prevent sticking further. Serve immediately with your chosen sauce, vegetables, or as part of a larger dish like a pasta salad.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain pasta, this tricolor version incorporates vegetable purees directly into the dough, giving it natural color and a very mild taste difference. The distinct shapes also make it more engaging than standard spaghetti or penne for some diners.
Who it is for
Anyone looking to make their pasta dishes more visually appealing and add a touch of vegetable goodness will enjoy this product.
How to keep the rest
Store any unused, cooked pasta in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For uncooked pasta, keep it in its original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain freshness.
