What it is
This is a type of dry pasta shaped like bow ties or butterflies. It is made from durum wheat semolina. The pasta is dried slowly, which helps it maintain its shape and texture during cooking. This slow drying process is a characteristic of the brand's production method. It is a staple food enjoyed in many cuisines.
How people cook with it
Farfalle pasta is versatile and can be used in a variety of dishes. It works well in both hot and cold preparations.
- Tossed with light sauces
- Added to pasta salads
- Baked in casseroles
- Served with vegetables
To cook farfalle, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until al dente, which means it is tender but still has a slight bite. Drain the pasta well. It can then be combined with your favorite sauce, tossed with olive oil and vegetables, or chilled for a salad. The bow-tie shape holds sauce well.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other pasta shapes, farfalle's unique form allows it to capture and hold sauces and small ingredients effectively. Its thicker center and thinner edges create a pleasing textural contrast when cooked.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs alike use farfalle pasta for its appealing shape and ability to pair with diverse ingredients.
How to keep the rest
Store any unused dry farfalle pasta in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. This will help maintain its freshness and prevent it from absorbing moisture or odors from the pantry.
