Catelli Smart Bows Pasta
What it is
Catelli Smart Bows are a fun, bite-sized pasta shape that cooks quickly. They are made from durum wheat semolina, a common ingredient in pasta making. This shape is designed to hold sauces well, making them a versatile choice for many dishes. The pasta is dried and packaged for convenient pantry storage.
How people cook with it
These pasta shapes are ideal for quick weeknight meals and can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
- Kid-friendly pasta salads
- Simple buttered noodles
- Hearty pasta bakes
- Soups and stews
To cook Catelli Smart Bows, 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 tender but still firm to the bite. Drain the pasta thoroughly. You can then toss it with your favorite sauce, butter, or add it to other dishes like casseroles or soups. Ensure the water is plentiful to allow the pasta to move freely as it cooks.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to longer pasta shapes like spaghetti, Smart Bows are easier for children to eat and mix into dishes. Their unique shape also allows them to capture and hold smaller pieces of ingredients and sauces more effectively than flatter pasta varieties.
