Barilla Pasta Pasta La Collezione

Product Information

First, boil the strands in a pot of generously salted, vigorously boiling water. Most recipes will call that you use the meantime to prepare the sauce.

Veggie pasta made with vegetable puree from real vegetables, like tomatoes, carrots, spinach, and zucchini (great way to serve veggies to kids). If in doubt, and while you can’t go wrong with Classic Blue Box pasta, go with the Collezione or Al Bronzo lines. The texture from the bronze-die extrusion does make a difference, especially on more traditional pasta dishes where you really want the sauce to adhere to the strands. Classic Blue Box The Collezione range consists of pasta strands made entirely in traditional ways—from non-GMO, durum-wheat semolina flour, with extrusion through bronze dies, and a slow drying process. This is a pricier option of superior quality. IDEAL WITH BARILLA SAUCES: Designed to pair perfectly with your favourite pasta sauces and any ingredients. Try Lasagne with Barilla Bolognese sauce In 1947, Riccardo’s sons took over Barilla after his and Gualtiero’s passing. They took the landmark decision to stop baking bread and focus the company only on dried pasta in 1952.Barilla is an Italian family-owned company that wears the title of the biggest pasta maker in the world. During the 80s and 90s, Barilla began an international expansion by acquiring companies in Greece, Turkey, and France in Europe. It also has pasta factories in the U.S. and Canada. If you’re making pasta with an oil-based or tomato-based sauce, you can continue cooking the strands with the sauce for another 60 to 90 seconds so the flavors meld together. If you’re making a pasta dish with a dairy-based sauce, be it cheese or cream, combine the pasta with the sauce away from the heat to prevent curdling. From the “Classic Blue Box” and the premium “Collezione” pasta, which I genuinely recommend anyone considering Barilla, to the hip Protein+, Whole Grain, and Organic range for the health-conscious eater, Barilla is without doubt one of the best Italian pasta brands carried by grocery stores.

Durum Wheat Pasta is De Cecco’s staple Italian pasta that comes in a variety of 111 classic and 23 specialty shapes made of semolina flour.Linguine fini, no. 11, is a thinner, more graceful version of linguine. Part of Barilla’s “Classic Blue Box” range, this flat rectangular strand cooks to al dente in 5–6 minutes and is available in 16-oz boxes big enough to feed 8 people. You’ll then pour the broth into pot, stir, and then add in uncooked casarecce pasta. There is no need to separately cook pasta as the pasta cooks in the same pot with everything else. Let cook for about 15 minutes or until pasta noodles are cooked through. Most of the broth will be absorbed by the pasta but a bit will be left creating a delicious savory sauce combined with all the other ingredients! Barilla also makes Collezione Bucatini, made from semolina flour and extruded through traditional bronze dies, and Al Bronzo Bucatini, also made from semolina and bronze-cut, but with “micro-engraved” dies that give the bucatini a rougher texture. Gluten Free is a selection of 13 pasta noodles made with rice, corn, peas, and red lentils, as well as 1 corn flour and 1 polenta product.

Both Barilla and De Cecco are Italian family-run companies with humble beginnings that grew into two of the biggest pasta companies in the world. They make boxed pasta from 100% semolina flour and their products are carried by almost every grocery store. Most of the Barilla pasta varieties sold in the U.S. are made in the company’s two U.S. factories in Ames, IA and Avon, NY, with a few exceptions (Barilla Tortellini and Barilla Oven Ready Lasagne). In a separate pot prepare béchamel sauce: heat the milk with a pinch of salt and a sprinkle of grated nutmeg; add the hot milk to the mix of flour and butter, mix gently and bring to boil. Set aside.Barilla and De Cecco are two of the biggest pasta makers in the world. Barilla offers 77 pasta varieties in 9 pasta ranges, and De Cecco offers 255 pasta varieties across 7 pasta ranges. Both are considered “premium” pasta brands and carried by most grocery stores. Once the strands are cooked al dente, meaning no longer crunchy but still a little firm to the bite, fish them out of the water and toss them with the sauce. (It’s often beneficial to transfer a bit of starchy and salty sauce along with the pasta.)
