Farfalle is a type of pasta whose name comes from the Italian word for butterflies, a reference to its bow-tie shape. In Italy's Emilia-Romagna region it is known as strichetti, with a larger variation called farfalloni and a miniature version called farfalline, and the shape dates back to the sixteenth century in the Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna regions.
