Farfalle

Farfalle are Italian pasta in the distinctive shape of a butterfly or bow tie, their name literally means butterflies in Italian. They are made from durum wheat semolina and water, sometimes with added eggs. Thanks to their unique shape, they have an interesting texture: the centre is thinner while the edges are thicker, providing a varied bite. They pair particularly well with creamy or tomato-based sauces, but are equally popular in cold pasta salads. Their attractive appearance makes them a favourite choice for visually appealing dishes. They are easy to prepare and typically cook for 10-12 minutes until al dente.
