Farfalle are bow-tie or butterfly shaped pasta. The name comes from the Italian word farfalla, meaning butterfly. Farfalle are formed from a rectangle or oval of pasta with two sides trimmed in a ruffled edge, and the centre pinched together to make the unusual shape. The pinched middle of farfalle helps keep them al dente when cooked and catches a little of the sauce. Farfalle are often served with light vegetable sauces as a summer pasta dish or in pasta salads. - Made in Italy - Durum Wheat Semolina Pasta - 14% Protein Pasta - Suitable for Vegan and Vegetarian Diets - Kosher certified - Egg Free
