Tri-Color Farfalle Pasta
What it is
This is a type of pasta shaped like bow ties, also known as farfalle. The pasta features three distinct colors: natural wheat, vibrant green from spinach, and red from tomato. This combination makes it visually appealing and adds subtle flavor notes from the added vegetables.
How people cook with it
Tri-color farfalle is a versatile pasta that works well in a variety of dishes, from simple weeknight meals to more elaborate culinary creations.
- Tossed with light sauces
- Mixed into pasta salads
- Served with hearty ragu
- Baked in casseroles
To prepare, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the tri-color farfalle 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 and rinse with cool water if using in a cold salad. It can then be combined with your chosen sauce, vegetables, or other ingredients.
How it differs from similar foods
The primary difference from standard farfalle is the inclusion of tomato and spinach, which impart color and a very mild taste. This tri-color variety offers a more visually interesting presentation compared to plain pasta, making it a good choice for dishes where appearance is important.
