This Pasta Pomodoro recipe from Barilla is made with extra virgin olive oil, garlic cloves, tomatoes, parmesan cheese, heavy cream, basil, salt and black pepper. The garlic is slowly simmered in olive oil, and then combined with the tomatoes to form the base of the sauce. Heavy cream is mixed with Parmigiano Reggiano, and reduced to create a delicious cheesy sauce. Toss the Gemelli pasta with the tomato sauce, and finish the dish with cheesy fondue and fresh basil.
This pasta sauce is made with gently cooked garlic, olive oil, tomatoes, heavy cream, & Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.

Gemelli
Gemelli is a simple shape of two strands of pasta twisted together. These small pasta twists are also remarkably versatile, as their shape holds the flavor of sauce beautifully while retaining the firm "al dente" texture that you expect from Barilla.
Barilla® Gemelli is made with non-GMO ingredients. For more information, please read our position.
