The Flavor Experience
Cooking in a large pot of salted boiling water for about 8-10 minutes will result in an al dente consistency the perfect degree of doneness. While durum semolina flour provides a mellow nutty taste, the characteristic that makes this pasta so beloved is the way that sauce gets trapped in the tiny folds of each noodle, guaranteeing the perfect bite.

The Story
Otherwise known as bowtie pasta or butterfly pasta; farfalle is marked by its signature shape. The word farfalle means 'butterflies' in Italian. This iconic pasta form dates back to the 1500s, with a birthplace of Northern Italy, in the Emilia-Romagna and Lombardy regions.

Usage Tips
A go-to for traditional Italian hot preparations (such as when topped with creamy tomato sauce, cream sauce, or simple lemon-garlic sauce, with vegetables and/or shellfish added in) this pasta is pretty darn versatile. Chilled pasta salad recipes have been passed down for generations using farfalle. Mix with vegetables like tomato, cucumber, olives, and/or cubed feta cheese or mozzarella. Take your picnic pasta salad up a few levels with Bruno Bros. Truffle Balsamic Glaze mixed lovingly with our Extra Virgin Sicilian Olive Oil. Yum!
