FARFALLE DEL MONDO
I originally found this recipe on foodtv.com and modified it slightly. It is a terrific dish to serve to guests as the presentation is so spectacular. I have substituted Cajun seasoning for the Southwest seasoning and it works just as well. Serve with a simple salad and french bread.

Steps:
