Farfalle pasta, also known as bow-tie pasta, is pinched in the middle with fun ruffled edges. This distinct “butterfly” shape came from Northern Italy, specifically the Emilia-Romagna region. Farfalle is a versatile pasta cut that shines in everything from creamy cheese sauces to simple marinara tomato sauces. Its ruffles and folds are perfect for capturing small ingredients and heartier sauces.
DeLallo Organic Farfalle Pasta comes from the town where pasta was born, a region near Naples, at the beginning of the Amalfi Coast. The art of making our pasta begins with superior, certified-organic wheat. We carefully choose wheat with the highest gluten index, gluten content and protein content. All of these characteristics affect how the pasta cooks, as well as its taste and texture. The durum wheat is milled into coarse ground semolina flour and then carefully kneaded with cold, fresh, mineral-rich mountain spring water. We dry our pasta slowly at low temperatures to reproduce the traditional way of making pasta. This method respects the ingredients, preserving the pasta’s color, texture and aroma.
