Characteristics, History and Pairings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Farfalle is a shape of short pasta and no doubt one of the most unique, pretty, and popular with children. The shape resembles a butterfly \u2013 \u201cfarfalla\u201d in Italian. Some like to think of it as a bow tie!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This pasta is made from little square pieces of pasta sheets dented on two opposite edges and pinched in the middle. The result is a kind of pasta with a double texture, more firm in the centre and more delicate around the edges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smaller and larger variations of farfalle<\/em> \u2013 known respectively as farfalline<\/em> and farfallone<\/em> \u2013 have been created over the years. In Bologna, a popular variant made with eggs is known as stricchetti<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cooking Time<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

13 minutes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Region of Origin<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Farfalle<\/em> pasta was born in the north of Italy, in the 1500s, and was enjoyed mainly in Emilia Romagna and Lombardy. Nowadays it is one of the most popular shapes in Ligurian cuisine, normally enjoyed with the traditional basil pesto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Pairings<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Farfalle<\/em> pasta is often paired with classic sauces such as ragu, mushrooms, ham and peas, and courgettes and prawns. The butterfly shape captures sauce well in the middle part rather than on the smooth wings. In summer, farfalle<\/em> pasta is a popular choice for cold dishes with ingredients such as fresh tomatoes and basil, tuna and sweetcorn, or salmon, green olives, and rocket!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cooking Tips<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Do you cook pasta in a sustainable way? Here are a few tips that can make a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.<\/strong> Don\u2019t waste water, use only the necessary amount: 1 litre of water for every 100 grammes of dry pasta<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2<\/strong>. Cooking with a lid will save time and gas or electricity and the water will boil sooner<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.<\/strong> Add the salt when the water starts boiling and add the pasta immediately after<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.<\/strong> Put the lid back on halfway through the cooking time, switch off the gas (or electric hob) and finish cooking your pasta in the hot water inside the covered pot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
