The Farfalle format has always been one of the most creative expressions of the time-honored Italian pasta tradition.
Barilla has taken this delicate, light shape and miniaturized it, while maintaining all the flavor and quality of the regular version. Mini Farfalle is perfect for everyday meals, adding a touch of flair that will delight everyone.
The Shape
Made in the time-honored manner, with selected wheat and scrupulously executed production processes, the delicious Mini Farfalle is a diminutive pasta form inspired by the light form of the butterfly ("Farfalle" means butterflies in italian). Cut into little squares, the pasta is pinched together in the center, making it thicker at that point, while the "wings" remain thinner. Its graceful shape and inimitable flavor render this pasta ideal for creating a warm, cheerful family atmosphere around the table. It is great with light, fresh sauces, but also goes very well with more intensely flavored toppings, demonstrating its highly versatile nature.
Suggestions for use
Due to its small size and delicate shape, Mini Farfalle pasta is best with delicately flavored sauces: everything from vegetable and fish-based sauces, to those made with fresh cheese. Topped in this way, it is not only tasty, but also ideal as a wholesome, well-balanced dish for the entire family. Barilla suggests enjoying Mini Farfalle with a lively, aromatic sauce made from cherry tomatoes, mozzarella and basil. Or topped by a sophisticated sauce created with peas, prosciutto and tomatoes. This delicious sauce can be prepared in just minutes and it features an intriguing fusion of delicate and tangy flavors. |
