Pasta is a staple in our home. My family loves to eat it and we have it numerous times a week. Any shape or size, if it’s a noodle, they will eat it! Butter, marinara or cheese, if it’s topped with something, they will eat it!
I’m sure you’re aware by now that whole grains are the healthier way to eat. Whole Grain Pasta is a good way to get whole grains into your diet. Barilla has a great selection of pasta, many varieties being whole grain.
Dinnertime is sacred at our house. Everyone is around the table, every night for our meal, which is why I ♥ Barilla’s Share the Table website, where they encourage and help families build closer relationships with loved ones through meaningful meals. If you are someone who also believes in meaningful meals, visit their site and let them know by clicking on their button. Barilla will donate $1 to Meals on Wheels Association of America if you do! If you aren’t quite there yet with your family because of their ages, activities or your work schedule, Share the Table has a number of tips on getting you started.
If you’re looking for some new pasta recipes, Share the Table is a nice resource, it has 12 recipes from Mario Batali created exclusively for Barilla. I made the PLUS Elbows and Brocolli Bake, using the Whole Grain Medium Pasta Shells. A very unique and filling dish , that was enjoyed by the whole family.
Share the Table isn’t just about eating dinner with your family, while you’re preparing it you can spend meaningful moments with your children. The older ones can help you with measuring, grating and mixing, keep your little ones busy with the Placemat Creator. Print premade ones or create your own with games, fun facts and shapes for coloring!
If you register on the site you have access to entering some very neat sweepstakes. Pasta Friday has weekly winners of pasta and sauce. There is also the Mealtime Moments Contest, where you could win one month’s worth of groceries for your family.
