Farfalloni are originally from the north of Italy and traditionally known by local names such as "Fiocconi" and "Galle Genovesi". Historically, there were numerous varieties spread throughout the Abruzzo and Apulia regions, as well as the Bologna area.
The typical shape is rectangular with a scallop edge, pinched together in the centre.
The condiments recommended for Farfalloni are light sauces: sauces made from butter with peas and ham; white sauces with delicate flavours made from salmon and cream; sauces made from mild, soft cheeses with a dash of saffron or curry.
This pasta is also great for preparing delicious, colourful, imaginative pasta salads.

Strangozzi, originally from Umbria, take their name from the Italian word "strenghe" which means the long shoelaces for old-fashioned shoes. The special consistency of this type of pasta makes it suitable for serving with meat ragùs or rich, tomato-based sauces.
