This pesto recipe is made by blending baby kale, hazelnuts, Romano cheese, and extra virgin olive oil. The pesto is combined with Al Bronzo Bucatini, roasted asparagus, and cherry tomatoes for a delicious meal. 

Barilla Al Bronzo 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.
