Cook Barilla Malfadine Pasta in plenty of boiling, salted water, stirring occasionally to separate the ribbons. Use the package directions as your starting point and taste a piece near the end so the wide strips and ruffled edges reach the texture you want.
Barilla Malfadine Pasta is made of long, flat ribbons with distinctive wavy edges. The ruffles help catch sauce, making the shape different from straight-edged pasta ribbons such as fettuccine.
Barilla Malfadine Pasta works well with substantial sauces that cling to its ruffled edges, such as a slow-cooked tomato and meat sauce or a rich mushroom sauce. It also pairs well with roasted vegetables and a little olive oil.
Follow the cooking time printed on the Barilla Malfadine Pasta package, then taste a ribbon as the time approaches. Check both the flat center and the ruffled edges; tasting is more reliable than judging doneness by the clock alone.
Barilla Malfadine Pasta is a ribbon pasta associated with the mafaldine shape, known for its wavy edges. The names are closely related, though spellings and product names can differ; the defining feature is the long, ruffled ribbon.
Barilla Malfadine Pasta has wavy edges, while fettuccine is usually a flat ribbon with straight edges. The ruffles give Malfadine a distinctive texture and help it hold onto thicker sauces.
No, not if you are serving Barilla Malfadine Pasta hot with sauce. Rinsing washes away surface starch that helps sauce cling to the ribbons; rinse it only when you need to cool it quickly for a cold pasta salad.
Stir Barilla Malfadine Pasta soon after adding it to boiling water and again during cooking. Drain it as soon as it is ready and toss it promptly with sauce; leaving the cooked ribbons sitting in a pile makes them more likely to stick.
About 85 g of dry Barilla Malfadine Pasta is a typical serving for one person. Adjust the amount for appetite and whether it is the main dish or a side, keeping in mind that the pasta expands as it cooks.
Keep opened Barilla Malfadine Pasta in an airtight container in a cool, dry cupboard. Protecting the dry pasta from moisture helps preserve its texture and keeps it in good condition for cooking.

Barilla Malfadine Pasta is a dried Italian pasta made from durum wheat semolina, cut into broad ribbons with wavy edges. The “raw” on the label means uncooked; it is normally boiled before eating, rather than served straight from the packet.
Its rippled edges catch sauce, making it a good match for tomato, vegetable or creamy sauces. In Italy it can be served as a pasta course, while elsewhere it works just as well for a simple weeknight meal; add a salad or vegetables for balance. It is mainly a carbohydrate source, with 12.5 g of protein per 100 g. For a lighter plate, use plenty of vegetables and keep rich sauces modest.
