Making Farfalle Pasta feels so fancy, even though it's so simple, it's one of the most impressive pastas to make! First you will need to mix your dough, you can find the dough recipe and instructions here.
Equipment:
-Rolling Pin, Pasta Crank, or a wine bottle works as well
-Knife or Pasta Stamp
Ingredients:
-More Flour
-Water (Italian Glue)
Instructions:
1. After you've created the dough and it is not to sticky, start rolling it out using a rolling pin or pasta crank. If you are using a rolling pin, make sure to dust the counter top with flour and flip the dough as you continue to roll it out. I like to dust the flat dough as I flip the dough. You know that you are done when the dough is somewhat transparent, you should be able to make out the design of your counter underneath it.
2. When starting the Farfalle, you will need to cut your pasta into squares. You can use a square pasta stamp or a knife work just as well. Cut all the dough into squares.
Protip: If you are using a pasta stamp and have dough scraps, tear them into small pieces, put them into a tupperware, and save them for in the fridge or freezer for soup noodles.
3. Once all you pasta squares are cut, dip your fingers in a little bit of water and pinch the middle of the pasta into the bowtie shape. It's as simple as that!
4. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, when the water is boiling add salt and then add your Farfalle. Cook for 5 minutes to make your pasta al dente. Taste to make sure it is to your liking and then drain.
