Don’t you just love bowtie pasta? The shape is so endearing!
Bowties are a great pasta to use in salads because they look fancy! I like to use mini bowties whenever I can.
What is fancier than ribbons? Take a listen to “Scarlet Ribbons (for Her Hair)” sung by Jo Stafford while eating your bowtie salad!
