I love to cook and if there’s one thing that I’ve learned over years of trying different recipes, it’s that quality ingredients make all the difference when it comes to taking a recipe from good to great. Pasta has always been one of my favourite meals to cook because it’s perfect for both quick and easy dinners or gourmet creations and for great results every time, Barilla pasta is a must in my house.

If you or somebody in your family is gluten intolerant, cooking a quick and delicious meal becomes more of a challenge. But luckily, more and more companies are striving to provide gluten-free alternatives to traditional wheat-based products. Pasta is one of those foods that I can’t ever imagine giving up, even though I personally don’t eat a whole lot of wheat-based products overall. So I was pretty excited to hear about the new Barilla Gluten Free Pasta and couldn’t wait to give it a try.

I received an assortment of Barilla Gluten Free Pasta products and some fun Barilla accessories to review. I appreciated that Barilla is offering so many different varieties of pasta in a gluten-free version. And as if that isn’t awesome enough, the company has a fabulous collection of Gluten Free recipes too. Personally, I can’t wait to try this delicious-looking Barilla Gluten Free Rotini with Sauteed Summer Vegetables!
