Farfalles, commonly known as "bow-tie pasta," are a type of Italian pasta distinguished by their unique shape, resembling small butterflies or bows. Traditionally made from durum wheat flour and water, this versatile pasta is rich in carbohydrates, making it a reliable source of energy. It’s often paired with creamy, tomato-based, or pesto sauces, and works well in salads or baked dishes. Originating from Northern Italy, farfalles are a staple in Italian cuisine and are celebrated for their ability to hold sauces, thanks to their ridged design. While farfalles provide essential nutrients like fiber, B vitamins, and iron, their refined nature means moderation is key for those watching blood sugar or calorie intake. For a healthier option, opt for whole-grain varieties, which offer higher fiber content and sustained energy release. Incorporating vegetables and lean proteins can enhance the nutritional profile of a dish featuring farfalles.
