Farfalle is an amazing versitile pasta shape. It is perfect for cream, light tomato sauces and even soup.

I like to make my own by rolling out freshly made pasta sheets and cutting them into small rectangles. Then I roughen the sides with a knife and pinch them in the middle to get that classic butterfly/bowtie shape.

Here I have sautéed shallots, garlic and mushrooms in some white wine. I then added the cooked pasta and some of the pasta water to the pan with some Crème Fraîche. Once mixed I added a large handful of Parmigiano-Reggiano and some baby spinach. 

Enjoy,
