Rustichella d’Abruzzo - Farfalloni - 500 g

Farfalloni, meaning big butterflies in Italian, are a bigger bow-tie than those commonly available, bearing soft ridges on the surface in order for the pasta sauce to adhere to it. Cooking time: 11-13 minutes. Childhood memories remind us of tomato and cream sauce dusted with abundant Parmigiano, as well as old fashion classics such as vodka sauce or salmon and cream sauce at Grandmother’s table. A children’s favorite, these bow-ties are also ideal for use in pasta salads.

Since 1924, Rustichella d'Abruzzo has been making pasta the way it was meant to be made: with top-quality semolina, mountain spring water, bronze dies, and patience. Their slow-drying process (up to 56 hours at low temperatures) preserves the wheat's flavor and creates a texture that supermarket pasta cannot match. Now in their fourth generation, the Peduzzi family continues to honor the traditions of their grandfather Gaetano Sergiacomo.

Pairs with: Your favorite sauce, or simply with good olive oil, Parmigiano, and black pepper.
Perfect for: Home cooks who understand that great pasta starts with great ingredients. One of the standouts in our collection at The Ambrosian Pantry, 263 Josephine St in Cherry Creek, Denver. Visit us or shop at theambrosianpantry.com.
