Setaro Farfalle is the classic butterfly-shaped pasta made by Pastificio Setaro in Torre Annunziata, near Naples, Italy. Farfalle means "butterflies" in Italian, referring to the pasta's distinctive pinched center and wing-like sides. The shape has a long history in Italian cooking, with versions of Farfalle traced to Northern Italy as far back as the 1500s.
How to Use Setaro Farfalle
Farfalle is especially versatile with light tomato sauces, vegetables, pesto, creamy sauces, seafood, and simple olive oil-based preparations. Its butterfly shape also works beautifully in pasta salads, where the pinched center provides a satisfying bite while the wider "wings" carry sauce and dressing.
