BIRMINGHAM, AL (November 28, 2023) - Pasta is a perennial weeknight favorite, but it can also rise to the occasion when you're serving more creative fare for family meals or even holiday entertaining. Now eMeals, America's leading meal planning service, and Barilla, the world's leading pasta producer, are helping adventurous cooks up their pasta game with A Cut Above Holiday Pasta - a free recipe collection featuring Barilla Al Bronzo™ Pasta that is bronze-cut to cling well to any sauce.
Barilla's premium Al Bronzo line is crafted with an innovative micro-engraved bronze-cut method of forming the dough, creating a rough surface texture that grips the sauce better than other pasta varieties. A custom blend of high-quality, non-GMO durum wheat provides perfect cooking resistance.
