Rainbow Farfalle with Garlic and Butter

Rainbow Farfalle

I came across this rainbow farfalle (aka bow tie pasta) at my local Home Goods, and I thought it was too pretty to not buy it. The vivid colors and unique shape of this bow tie pasta remind me of butterflies. I wanted the rainbow pasta to be the center of attention, so I kept the ingredient list as short as possible.
