Barilla is by far the best brand of pasta you can buy at the supermarket. It is well worth the money as it has a great flavour and texture giving a perfect al dente finish every time. The bows are a great shape for a number of dishes.

The sun was shining powerfully on the day that the great goddess Eileithyia blessed us humans with Barilla Bows Farfalle Pasta No 65. I feel it, that warm, solar embrace, every Monday night – pasta night – as I clasp the uncooked remnants in my cold, wanting hands. Usually I watch the sun set from where I stand over my kitchen sink. I am very grateful for this kitchen, and this small house positioned at the most perfect altitude, and angled in the best direction to give my kitchen the best view in the town. When the sinking sun shines in my eyes, I hold up the small, insignificant bows against the glare and they block it for me.

My kids call this bow ties and always love to eat them. Nice pasta that always cooks well and versatile to have in the pantry.

Nice to have something different but is there a difference in flavour, well no. I have cooked pasta bakes and pesto pastas and we have always enjoyed it

Barilla pasta is by far the best pasta that I have cooked. It is more expensive but worth it. It doesn’t become grungy in texture, is tasty, stays firm doesn’t fall apart and ha some unique shapes which makes meals more appealing in appearance for my children to eat.

I keep a cupboard full of this pasta. I does not fall apart like some other pastas and it is a slightly firmer pasta when cooked. Great quality and size.

So good. The best pasta is ideal for salads or just with sauce. When cooked it becomes soft and looks nice too, especially with peas and carrots.

except for fresh, the next best thing.has strength,different shapes(kids),always comes out al dente without babysitting it.and a box,doesn’t split!!

I love pasta, and it is such a staple in our house. This pasta tastes great, bows take a little longer to cook though. I also really like the box it comes in!
