Tips for eating or cooking
Boiling & Stirring Tips
Use plenty of water: Cook the farfalle in a generous amount of boiling water, giving the bow-tie shapes enough space to move freely and cook evenly.
Stir early: Gently stir the pasta shortly after adding it to the pot. This helps prevent the farfalle from sticking together or settling on the bottom.
Check for perfect texture: Taste a piece about 1 minute before the recommended cooking time ends. The thicker center should be tender but still have a slight bite, without feeling hard or chalky.
