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.
