This bow tie shape pasta gets its name from the Italian word farfalla meaning butterfly. Often served with vegetable sauces or as a pasta salad.
This shape of pasta is obtained by pinching a square of dough right in the centre. They are a shape of short pasta with a smooth surface that intrigues both adults and children, perfect for simple sauces or for cold pasta salads.
Garofalo Farfalle remain perfectly al dente and have a lively shape on the plate.
