This pasta recipe features sautéed zucchini, caramelized onions, blistered cherry tomatoes, and al dente Al Bronzo® Mezzi Rigatoni. Freshly grated Romano cheese and mint leaves act as the finishing touches for this elegant dish.
Barilla® Al Bronzo® Mezzi Rigatoni 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.
