Rose Farfalle is one of the Italian classics that is hard to give up even when you are omitting dairy. Therefore, this alternative is the perfect and satisfying option.
They are so many dishes in Italian cuisine that are easy to veganize and Rose Farfalle is a perfect example. This is actually the second recipe I have created and you may check the older one if you like. ROSE FARFALLE, is a little bit different and who knows, you may even like it better. In my opinion, they are both delicious and you can substitute the Farfalle with any other kind of your choice. Or you may also like SUMMER FETTUCCINE, which is totally different, yet equally delicious.
Although I highly recommend whole grain spelt pasta or gluten free pasta because the nutritional value in these is much higher than in regular pasta. White pasta is nothing but empty calories and it is not good for your health at all. If you are not familiar with Whole Grain Spelt you may read this article to learn about its health benefits.
Regarding gluten free pasta, they are not all the same and not all nutritious, so be careful what brand you are choosing. For example, GoGo Quinoa is one of the better brands that you may look into, also available on Amazon. Even though they do not offer Farfalle, they do have a great selection of other pasta you can choose from.
In addition, I am including one more HEALTH ARTICLE about PASTA to give you a better insight and why it is important to choose only the highly nutritious pasta instead of one full of empty calories. The bottom line is that any whole-grain pasta is healthy, even whole wheat, which is available everywhere.
