Tri-Color Rotini
A colorful version of a pasta salad favorite, Tri-Color Rotini means "colorful twists" and are two-inch lengths of thick screw-like pasta from Northern Italy. The shape was inspired by children, since they are fun to eat and pair well with a wide variety of sauces.
Barilla® Tri-Color Rotini is made with non-GMO ingredients. For more information, please read our position.
