In celebration of the season of love, beloved pasta brand Barilla recently launched a limited-edition heart-shaped pasta cut dubbed Barilla Love. Fans across the country can celebrate the holiday with this shape, making a home-cooked meal that conveys a sign of love.
The Barilla Love pasta pays homage to one of Barilla's 35 beloved and iconic pasta cuts – Mezzi Rigatoni – which offers ridges to improve sauce retention. The pasta uses the brand's iconic Blue Box recipe and boasts the best ingredients and cooks to perfect al-dente taste and texture every time.
To get your hands on a 12 oz box of Barilla Love, Barilla is asking fans to fill out a submission form with their contact information and share how Barilla brings them closer to their loved ones. Winners will be chosen at random to receive Barilla Love as part of a Barilla Love Pasta Kit, and one lucky fan will win a getaway of their dreams to Italy with a loved one.
