We normally call this pasta “bow ties” or similar, in English, but their real name is “farfalle” or “butterflies”.
Despite presenting some difficulties in the cooking, it’s wonderful pasta to use and goes well with seasonal ingredients and simple preparations including fresh vegetables, for example asparagus.
To prepare this easy pasta dish, you’ll need: 250 grams of farfalle pasta, one bunch of asparagus, 120 grams of smoked ham, 300mL of sparkling dry white wine, 30 grams of butter, salt and pepper.
Preparation: Put the pasta to boil in a large saucepan.
Cut off the bottom stalk of the asparagus, wash them and then chop into pieces.
Blance the asparagus in boiling and salted water for three minutes, then cool them under cold water.
Melt the butter in a nonstick pan, add the wine and wait for it to reduce slightly.
Add the ham and asparagus.
Drain the cooked pasta and add to the pan with the other ingredients to combine, grinding in a little pepper.
