How to Cook

The pack asks for about 1 liter of water per 100 g of pasta. Bring it to a boil, salt it lightly, add the pasta and cook gently for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring now and then. Then pour in a glass of cold water and drain, as the pack directs.

Taste a piece at 8 minutes, including the pinched middle where the dough is folded double. Stir well in the first minute after the pasta goes in.

Good with a light tomato or butter sauce, tossed with vegetables, or cooled for a pasta salad.

What Is Farfalle?

Farfalle is Italian for butterflies, and the Turkish name kelebek makarna means exactly the same thing - butterfly pasta. In English it is usually called bow tie pasta. Each piece is a small rectangle of dough pinched in the centre, so the middle is folded double and the wings are a single layer.
