About the Party:

For many of us, multi-tasking has become a way of life and having a long to-do list can cut into meal time. We often find ourselves over-scheduled and dinner-challenged. Despite the challenges, dinnertime is important and could be a spaghetti strand away.  Pasta provides the perfect solution – it’s versatile, quick, crowd-pleasing, affordable, nutritious and allows for multi-tasking while it’s cooking.  

So this year on World Pasta Day – a day to celebrate cooking and sharing pasta with friends and family - Barilla is partnering with Jenny Rosenstrach, author of “Dinner: A Love Story” to invite multi-taskers to embrace their love of pasta with dishes tailor made for busy lifestyles.

Barilla asked Moms what is taking up the time meant for dinner and based on feedback, they created a special edition cookbook designed to help bring home cooked meals to the table on even the busiest of nights. From Creamy Fettuccine with Sausage and Leeks to Lemon Spaghetti, these mouth-watering recipes are sure to make sharing the table with your family something to look forward to.
