How to Setup a DIY Pasta Bar and Barilla Pasta Giveaway

With the holiday season and festive entertaining coming up, I am sure like me, many of you might be wondering what flavourful delicious meals we can make for family and friends when they come over. I love this idea of setting up a DIY pasta bar from Barilla that will be easy to prep and it also gives our guests the freedom to customize their own dish and make it the way they prefer. 

To setup a DIY Pasta Bar
  1. First, pick a variety of pasta. Offer at least two types of pasta cuts and keep dietary preferences in mind with options like Barilla ProteinPLUS.
  2. Then, select your sauce, red tomato, green pesto, and white cream. Keep the cream sauce lighter for easy mixing and have olive oil available for those who like simpler sauces.
  3. Finally, have a variety of mixed-in toppings that can be prepared in advance such as roasted vegetables or meatballs. Keep a bowl of chopped herbs and lemon wedges for a fresh touch. 

Giveaway:
If you are in Canada and would like to win a variety of Barilla pasta in a Barilla tote bag then enter the giveaway through the rafflecopter below before December 15. Please leave comments and follow my social media networks to be eligible to win. 
Update: The winner is Constantine
