Farfalle No. 93 Pasta, 16 Oz

I first heard of DeCecco pasta after watching a few YT videos by chefs comparing pasta products. Most reviewed products fell into one of two categories: the low priced brands found on supermarket shelves everywhere, or the gourmet brands imported from Italy and cost three to five times the price of the mass market brands. And then there's DeCecco pasta. Every chef gave it high marks. I thought I'd give it a try. For about a dollar more than a similar Barilla pasta, the difference is immediately noticeable. Better taste. Better texture. It's the ingredients, and it's the process. Pure duram wheat semolina that's slow-dried at low temperature by the company whose founder, Filippo De Cecco, invented the process in Italy generations ago. The same slow drying process used by those pastas imported from Italy costing seven to ten dollars per box. For about a buck more than the supermarket brands, you're getting gourmet quality.

This is a very good quality pasta which tastes good and was easy to prepare. It comes in handy as a side dish or an entree depending on your needs. Read the story on the back of the box about the origins of the pasta. A father & son legacy passed on through multiple generations😎

Pasta bow ties are delicious in cold or hot pasta dishes. For cold: mix with olives, feta, and tomatoes. Yum!

Cooks in 10 mins depends on how fast your stove is, very simple to prepare, came well sealed and very fresh, tastes so good with Alfredo and portion size is very filling they get so much bigger after cooked

I've tried other common brands you'll find at your supermarket but they're no equal with their bland flavor and sometimes indigestibility. I have used De Cecco pasta for years and can confidently say there is a difference. When cooked as instructed on the package(s) you will have al dente perfection and a perfect rustic, nutty flavor due to the high quality flours used to make it and the slow drying method used by De Cecco.

This bow-tie pasta is a delight to cook with! It holds its shape beautifully, even after boiling, and the texture is perfect—firm yet tender. The unique shape makes it ideal for catching sauces, whether creamy or tomato-based. I’ve used it for pasta salads and warm dishes, and it always impresses. The packaging is sturdy and ensures the pasta stays fresh. On the downside, it takes a few minutes longer to cook than some other brands, and the price is slightly higher. Still, the quality makes it worth it for anyone who enjoys pasta dishes that look and taste amazing!

Great cost this is quality pasta. Definitely more expensive in the supermarket.
