Farfalle, also known as "bow-tie pasta," is a popular variety of pasta that originated in Northern Italy, particularly in regions like Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna. Made from a simple dough of durum wheat semolina and water, sometimes with added eggs, Farfalle's distinct shape is perfect for capturing sauces. Its versatility makes it a staple in Italian cuisine, commonly paired with creamy, tomato-based, or pesto sauces. Farfalle is a good source of carbohydrates, providing energy, but it contains minimal fiber and protein unless whole wheat versions are chosen. While plain Farfalle is low in fat, recipes often amplify its calorie content through rich sauces and ingredients. For a healthier option, pair Farfalle with lean proteins, vegetables, and olive oil. Moderation is key when enjoying this quintessential Italian pasta as part of a balanced diet.
