These happen to be a personal family favorite. From Lucido’s Pasta, a family-run operation with roots right here in Flower Mound, these beet mini bow ties are built on generations of Italian recipes. Crafted with intention, using traditional methods and quality ingredients to create a pasta that’s playful, structured, and full of flavor. You can see it instantly, a vibrant, deep pink pasta made with real beet powder, bringing both color and a subtle earthy sweetness to each bite. What makes it different It’s made with a focus on texture and flavor first, using a slower, more intentional process than mass-produced boxed brands. The result is a pasta that holds its shape, cooks evenly, and delivers that perfect tender bite. And the mini bow tie shape? It’s not just fun, it’s functional. Those folds and edges catch sauce beautifully, giving you a more balanced bite every time. How it cooks Serves 2-4. Boil until al dente, tender with a slight bite. That texture is key. The smaller shape cooks quickly, so keep an eye on it toward the end. Reserve a bit of pasta water before draining. It’s the easiest way to bring your sauce together and get that glossy, restaurant-style finish. How we love to use it Tossed with butter, olive oil, and a sprinkle of parmesan to let the color and flavor shine Paired with a light cream sauce for something rich but balanced Used in pasta salads where it adds both texture and visual pop Served with fresh herbs and goat cheese for a simple, standout dish From the family Lucido’s Pasta is built on family recipes and a deep connection to the local market scene, with roots across DFW farmer’s markets, including Denton and Flower Mound. Each product reflects that balance of tradition and practicality: honoring where it comes from while making it accessible for everyday cooking.
