Setaro Farfalle transforms the familiar bow-tie or butterfly-shaped pasta into an artisan pantry staple from Campania. The name farfalle means “butterflies” in Italian, describing the shape’s flared wings and distinctive pinched center. This construction provides an appealing contrast in texture, with a firmer center and more delicate edges, while its folds and broad surfaces readily capture sauces and small ingredients. Setaro has produced pasta in Torre Annunziata since 1939, preserving traditional techniques including bronze-die extrusion and slow, low-temperature drying. Farfalle are wonderfully versatile with pesto, fresh tomato, peas, mushrooms, salmon, roasted vegetables, or creamy sauces, where ingredients settle naturally around the pinched centers. Their attractive shape also holds up particularly well in pasta salads served at room temperature, making Farfalle useful for everything from simple family dinners to colorful entertaining dishes.
