Farfalle
(Butterfly Pasta, Bow Tie Pasta, )
Farfalle is a type of short pasta characterized by its unique shape - oval or rectangular pieces that are pinched in the middle in order to resemble a bow-tie (or a butterfly). The name farfalle is literally translated to butterfly, also referring to its shape.
It dates back to the 1500s, and was first made in the Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna regions of Italy. Farfalle is ideal for dishes with intense flavors and goes well with oil-based sauces and light sauces with fish or vegetables. It can also be added to pasta salads.
Some cooks like to use it in casseroles since it bakes well and keeps its shape.
