Farfalle

Farfalle recipes have been around for centuries, with the first recorded instance dating back to the 13th century. The dish is thought to have originated in the Lombardy region of Italy, and gets its name from the Italian word for "butterflies" (farfalle).

The traditional Farfalle recipe calls for just a few simple ingredients: flour, water, salt, and eggs. The dough is then formed into little balls, which are then flattened and cut into shape.

The most common way to cook Farfalle is in a broth, but they can also be boiled, baked, or even grilled. Farfalle can be served as a main course or as a side dish, and pairs well with a variety of different flavors.

Advice

When making farfalle, it is important to remember to cook the pasta al dente (firm to the bite). This helps ensure that the pasta will hold its shape and texture when combined with other ingredients. When boiling the farfalle, it is also important to add salt to the water as this will help add flavor to the pasta. Finally, when stirring the farfalle, make sure to do so gently so that the pasta does not break apart.
