Barilla Has a New Pasta Shape Coming to Stores Nationwide

Here at Allrecipes, we’re big lovers of any dish involving pasta. Whether it’s an easy pasta bake or homemade pasta from scratch, we’re all for oodles of noodles. And don’t even get us started on pasta shapes. Oh, how we love to mix it up and go from dousing our fettuccini in butter to smothering our rigatoni in a creamy basil sauce. So when we hear that Barilla has a new pasta shape coming out, you know we’re all about getting our hands on that, especially since it won’t be around long.

Barilla’s Limited-Time Heart-Shaped Pasta

Barilla is releasing its heart-shaped pasta, Barilla Love just in time for Valentine’s Day. The Barilla Love pasta was originally launched last year but only sold in the Barilla Love Pasta Kit, which included a box of Barilla Love, Barilla Valentine’s Day cards, Barilla Valentine’s Day swag, and various recipes to inspire you with your pasta. However, the kit was only available for a limited time through an online sweepstakes.

This year, shoppers can now purchase a box of Barilla Love pasta at select grocery stores nationwide in the pasta aisle or seasonal section, but you better act fast. Similarly to last year, this pasta will only be around for a limited time while supplies last.

The pasta will also be featured on menus at Nordstrom Restaurant Group locations throughout February. Some of the dishes to choose from include Barilla Love with Bolognese & Meatballs, Barilla Love with Spicy Shrimp Pomodoro, Barilla Love with Chicken Lemon, and Barilla Love Mac & Cheese (available on the kids' menu). Similar Barilla Love recipes can also be found on Barilla’s website for those who prefer to whip up something saucy at home this Valentine’s Day.

If you can’t find the Barilla Love pasta nearby, you can always head to Trader Joe’s for its Italian Artisan Heart Shaped Pasta. Aldi's February Finds also include two heart-shaped options worth the trip: Mama Cozzi's cheese pizza and Specially Selected cheesecake with strawberry swirl.
