Organic Farfalle Pasta
What it is
This is organic farfalle pasta, also known as bow-tie pasta. It is made from durum wheat semolina and water. The pasta is shaped like small bow ties or butterflies. The organic certification means it is produced without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. It is a dry pasta product, meaning it is shelf-stable until cooked.
How people cook with it
Farfalle is a versatile pasta shape that works well in many dishes. Its unique form holds sauces effectively.
- Tossed with pesto
- Mixed into pasta salads
- Served with creamy sauces
- Baked in casseroles
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 firm to the bite. Drain the pasta well. It can then be tossed with your favorite sauce, added to a salad, or incorporated into a baked dish. The cooking time will vary slightly depending on the brand and thickness of the pasta.
How it differs from similar foods
Farfalle's distinct shape with its ruffled edges and pinched center allows it to capture and hold sauces differently than smoother pasta shapes. This texture can add an interesting element to dishes. It is generally made from durum wheat, similar to many other dried pastas.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a visually appealing and sauce-friendly pasta shape will enjoy this product.
How to keep the rest
Store uncooked farfalle in a cool, dry place in its original packaging or an airtight container. Keep it away from direct sunlight and moisture to maintain its quality and prevent spoilage. Properly stored, it can last for a long time.
