Farfalle pasta

Farfalle Pasta is a type of Italian pasta recognized by its distinctive shape that resembles small bows or butterflies, hence its name, which in Italian means "butterflies." This pasta is characterized by its firm texture that allows it to absorb sauces well, making it a versatile option for both cold and hot dishes.

The origin of farfalle dates back to the Emilia-Romagna region in Italy, where it was traditionally made by hand to accompany different types of creamy sauces, tomato-based sauces, or in salads.

In terms of properties, farfalle pasta, being made primarily from durum wheat semolina, is a good source of complex carbohydrates that provide sustained energy. It also contains some vegetable protein and is low in fat, making it an ideal food for balanced diets.

Regarding synonyms in Spanish in the Hispanic American context, although there are no exact equivalent names for "farfalle," they are sometimes colloquially known as "butterfly pasta" or "bowtie pasta," referring to their characteristic shape.

This ingredient is ideal for recipes ranging from fresh pasta salads to dishes with creamy sauces or sautéed vegetables, providing an attractive visual touch and a pleasant texture to the palate.
