Italian cuisine is welcomed by many people, especially pizza, spaghetti or pasta. The variety of cooking recipes will not leave indifferent adults, children and dieters. Try delicious and healthy dishes with Italian farfalle pasta.
Farfalle (Italian farfalle) is a butterfly-shaped pasta made from durum wheat. The first mentions came from Italy, where they made curly pasta, sometimes tint with beets, spinach or cuttlefish ink. Farfalle is perfect for side dishes and as a component of salads, casseroles and a separate dish with various sauces, cheese and tomatoes.
History of creation
The baker's children decided to decorate the Christmas tree with crafts and toys that they made themselves. One bizarre and simple form really liked the father, and he decided to try to reproduce it from the test. He showed the finished bow tie / bow to the Milan chef, who decided to order a batch of such pasta and serve it on the table for a festive dinner. The tradition of cooking such pasta at home with the family remains in our times. I especially like to serve classic pasta in the form of the flag of Italy - the farfale is laid out on a rectangular plate, poured abundantly on top with tomato sauce and sprinkled with a mixture of herbs.
An important condition in the preparation of all dishes is properly boiled pasta in salted water. If the pasta is made from durum wheat, the storage conditions were observed, then the cooking time is 7-10 minutes. You can use a little trick - add a drop of vegetable oil to the water, then the bows will not stick together and the time will be reduced to 5 minutes.
