If farfalle is all you have then use it. There are more than 2,000 recognized pasta shapes of regional origin in Italy. All serve a purpose. But without knowing how you intend to sauce it it's hard to suggest a substitute.
Sure. Naturally the shape will be different and you might think of using a smaller shape that's more along the lines of orichiette, but any short cut pasta (or even long shape if you are in a crunch) will do.
