Barilla Protein+ Farfalle Pasta 14.5 oz.

Details

Create a variety of signature pasta dishes with this Barilla Protein+ farfalle pasta. Originating in the Lombardia and Emilia-Romagna regions of Northern Italy, farfalle dates back to the 1500s and is one of the oldest pasta shapes! Translating to "butterfly" in Italian, farfalle is also commonly referred to as bowtie pasta for its rectangular shape that is pinched in the middles. Farfalle pairs well with light, creamy sauces with vegetables and seafood as well as with oil-based sauces and in pasta salads. Use it to make a Mediterranean style pasta salad or more traditional Italian dishes like the aromatic farfalle alla caprese. No matter how it's prepared, Barilla pasta is trusted among Italian chefs and remains Italy's #1 brand of pasta for its reliability in texture and ability to complement fresh ingredients and bold flavors.

This innovative pasta is made with golden wheat flour and protein from lentils, chickpeas, and peas to deliver the classic taste and "al dente" texture your customers crave, with the added benefit of additional protein, fiber, and minerals. A healthful alternative to traditional pasta, this pasta consists of 100% plant-based protein to create a well-rounded meal. To prepare, use 4-6 quarts of water per pound of pasta. Bring to a rolling boil and add salt to taste. Add the pasta to the boiling water, stir gently, and return to a boil. For "al dente" pasta, boil uncovered for 11 minutes, stirring occasionally. For more tender pasta, boil for an additional minute. Remove from the heat and drain well. Simply add your preferred ingredients, plate, and serve!

In 1877, Pietro Barilla opened a bread and pasta shop in Parma, Italy with the dream of supplying his community with the most delicious handmade bread and pasta to serve at their own family tables. Pietro and his son Riccardo worked tirelessly to make and deliver their products daily to the streets of Parma and over the years began to purchase more advanced pasta-making technology and warehouse space to keep up with the demand. After years of success and expansion due to their commitment to quality, authentic products and a passion for innovation, Barilla has since positioned itself as the world's leading industrial pasta producer. It remains an Italian family-owned company that is dedicated to bring high-quality, nutritious products while supporting an environmentally-sustainable production process from field to fork.
