This gourmet twist on a classic creamy Mac and Cheese recipe uses Al Bronzo Fusilloni pasta, lobster tails, and crispy breadcrumbs.
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.
