Quick and Easy Barilla Recipes for Busy Weeknights
When life gets hectic, the last thing you want to worry about is what to cook for dinner. Barilla pasta offers a quick and convenient solution that allows you to whip up delicious meals in no time. Here are some quick and easy Barilla recipes that are perfect for busy weeknights.
One-Pan Barilla Pasta Primavera
This vibrant dish is packed with seasonal vegetables and can be made in just one pan. Start by sautéing your favorite veggies like bell peppers, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes in olive oil. Add garlic for flavor, then pour in a cup of vegetable broth along with your uncooked Barilla pasta. Cover and let it cook until the pasta is tender. Finish it off with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and fresh basil for an extra burst of flavor.
Barilla Spaghetti Aglio e Olio
For a simple yet satisfying meal, try Spaghetti Aglio e Olio. Cook your Barilla spaghetti according to package instructions. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and add minced garlic until fragrant. Toss in red pepper flakes if you like some heat. Once the spaghetti is done cooking, combine it with the garlic oil mixture, add freshly chopped parsley, and serve with grated Parmesan cheese on top.
Creamy Barilla Macaroni & Cheese
Nothing says comfort food like macaroni & cheese. Boil your favorite shape of Barilla pasta until al dente. Meanwhile, create a creamy cheese sauce by melting butter in a saucepan, whisking in flour to make a roux before gradually adding milk. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese until melted smooth. Combine the pasta with the sauce for an irresistibly cheesy dinner that kids will love.
Barilla Penne Arrabbiata
If you’re looking for something spicy to elevate your dinner routine, Penne Arrabbiata might be just what you need. Cook your penne according to package instructions while making Arrabbiata sauce by heating olive oil in a pan with crushed red pepper flakes and diced tomatoes. Let it simmer before mixing in cooked penne pasta along with fresh basil leaves before serving hot.
Barilla Lasagna Rolls
Lasagna doesn’t have to be complicated. Take cooked lasagna noodles (try using Barilla’s No-Boil lasagna) and fill them with ricotta cheese mixed with spinach or ground meat of your choice. Roll them up tightly and place them seam-side down into a baking dish filled with marinara sauce. Top everything off with mozzarella cheese before baking until bubbly—it’s an easy twist on traditional lasagna that saves time while delivering great flavor.
With these quick and easy recipes using Barilla pasta at hand, busy weeknights don’t have to mean sacrificing flavor or nutrition at dinner time. Try these dishes tonight—your family will thank you.
