Farfalline (little butterflies), originally from Northern Italy, are rectangular with a scalloped edge, pinched together in the centre.
The tiny, whimsical shape means they appeal to children and are great for toddlers in a vegetable, tomato based or cheesy sauce.
Thanks to the notched edge and the tiny curved wings, Farfalline are a perfect shape for hearty soups.
Cooking time: 6 mins.
