From Lucido’s Pasta, a family-run operation with roots right here in Flower Mound, this tri-color bow tie pasta is built on generations of Italian recipes. Crafted with intention and frozen fresh to preserve its texture and flavor, it’s a pasta that feels both vibrant and deeply comforting. What makes it different This isn’t dry, shelf-stable pasta. It’s fresh pasta, frozen at its peak, which means a completely different experience when it hits the pot. The texture is more tender, the bite more delicate, and the flavor more present from the start. The bow tie shape isn’t just for looks. Those folds and pinched centers create a mix of soft and slightly firmer texture, helping sauces cling and settle into every bite. How it cooks Because it’s fresh and frozen, this pasta cooks quickly and doesn’t need to be thawed. Serves 2-4. Drop straight into well-salted boiling water and cook until tender with a slight bite. It’ll float and soften as it’s ready, usually in just a few minutes. Be gentle when stirring to keep the shape intact, and avoid overcooking to preserve that fresh pasta texture. How we love to use it Tossed with olive oil, butter, and fresh herbs for something simple and colorful Paired with light tomato or cream sauces that settle into the folds Used in pasta salads where the texture really shines Finished with parmesan and a squeeze of lemon for a bright, balanced 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.
