What it is
This is a type of dried pasta shaped like bowties or butterflies. The unique shape holds sauces well, making it a versatile choice for many dishes. This pasta is a pantry staple for quick and satisfying meals.
How people cook with it
Farfalle pasta is excellent in a variety of hot and cold preparations. Its shape makes it a fun addition to any meal.
- Tossed with pesto
- Added to pasta salads
- Served with creamy sauces
- Mixed into baked casseroles
To cook, bring a large pot of 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 should be tender but still have a slight bite. Drain the pasta well, reserving some of the cooking water. Toss immediately with your favorite sauce, or rinse with cold water if using in a cold salad. The pasta can also be added to soups or baked dishes.
How it differs from similar foods
Farfalle's distinctive bowtie shape offers more surface area for sauce to cling to compared to thinner strands like spaghetti. Its slightly thicker center and thinner wings create a pleasing texture contrast when cooked.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a fun and adaptable pasta shape for family meals or entertaining.
How to keep the rest
Store any unused pasta in its original packaging or an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Ensure it is sealed to prevent moisture absorption and keep it fresh for future use.
