Homemade Bow Tie Pasta also is known as Italian farfalle pasta is as much fun to make as it is to eat!
Farfalle pasta is actually one of the oldest pasta shapes.
It originated during the 16th century in Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna, where it is also known as ‘strichetti’.
I have read that in Emilia-Romagna, strichetti is our modern-day version of farfalle.
Apparently, these were invented by housewives wanting to use up extra pasta dough leftover from making filled cappelletti pasta.
The woman in that region used up the remaining dough by making farfalle, which eventually was such a well-loved pasta dough they did extra on purpose!
Sunday is a traditional day for pasta in an Italian household.
We always make a wonderful homemade Traditional Sunday Sauce with this awesome pasta that is a tradition only during the holiday.
Mom and grandma always reserved homemade pasta during the holiday season.
Most of the time on Christmas Day we had Mom's Lasagna, and on Easter, it would be bow ties.
