Farfalle pasta

Farfalle is a traditional Italian pasta known for its distinctive butterfly or bow-tie shape. Originating from the regions of Lombardy and Emilia Romagna in Northern Italy, farfalle is made from durum wheat semolina, which imparts a firm texture and golden hue to the pasta. The name 'farfalle' translates to 'butterflies' in Italian, reflecting its unique shape. This pasta is versatile and pairs well with a variety of sauces, including light butter-based sauces with peas and ham, delicate white sauces with salmon and cream, and sauces made from mild cheeses enriched with saffron or curry. Farfalle is also a popular choice for colorful and creative pasta salads. While traditionally produced in Italy, farfalle is now manufactured in multiple countries, including Greece, Turkey, and the USA, to meet global demand. The brand 'Farfalle' is associated with various manufacturers, and specific brand ownership details are not readily available.
