This elegant pasta recipe comes together quickly and with a few simple ingredients. Shallots are sautéed in extra virgin olive oil, and halved cherry tomatoes are seared with sea salt and cracked black pepper. The cherry tomato sauce, parmesan, and burrata is then tossed with perfectly al dente Al Bronzo Mezzi Rigatoni pasta, and topped with fresh basil, a drizzle of oil, and a dollop of burrata cheese.

Barilla Al Bronzo pasta is made by extruding dough through a bronze die that is micro engraved. This gives the pasta a rougher texture, allowing pasta sauces to perfectly adhere to our beautifully crafted pasta.
