Barilla Tri-Color Rotini, 160 Oz, 2 Per Case

Barilla Tri-Color Rotini brings three vibrant colors, red, green, and classic golden, to the table in a single fun, screw-shaped pasta. Each color comes from real dried tomato and dried spinach blended with premium semolina, so the visual appeal is grounded in simple, familiar ingredients rather than artificial dyes. Enriched with iron and B vitamins, this rotini delivers solid energy and nutrition alongside its eye-catching presentation. It cooks to a reliable al dente in just seven to eight minutes, making it practical for high-volume kitchens that need consistent results batch after batch. The low glycemic index helps keep guests satisfied longer, and with zero trans fat and zero cholesterol, it fits cleanly into balanced menus.

Preparation & Use

Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the rotini and stir occasionally. Cook for 7 to 8 minutes for al dente texture; reduce time slightly if finishing the pasta in a hot sauce or bake. Drain and rinse with cold water immediately for cold salad applications. For best results in pasta salads, allow the cooked rotini to cool completely before adding dressing, which helps the sauce coat evenly without sliding off.

Storage

Store unopened bags in a dry environment at ambient temperature. Once opened, seal the bag tightly or transfer to an airtight container to prevent moisture absorption and maintain quality. Properly stored dry pasta retains its best texture and flavor for up to three years.
