Barilla launched its latest innovation – a line of one-ingredient legume pastas. Made with just chickpeas or red lentils, Barilla leveraged its more than 140 years of experience to create a pasta with a unique taste and "al dente" texture, along with the nutrition benefits of legumes – providing a good source of plant-based protein and excellent source of fiber.

"At Barilla, we only have one way of doing business: 'Good for You, Good for the Planet' (GYGP). This means constantly innovating and improving our products to provide people with high-quality foods that are healthy, sourced from responsible supply chains, and inspired by the Italian lifestyle and Mediterranean Diet," says Jean-Pierre Comte, President of Barilla Americas. "We're very proud of this innovation because it was not only inspired by the needs and wants of our consumers, but also our greater GYGP mission."
The latest offering from Barilla is available in four varieties featuring just one simple ingredient - Red Lentil Rotini, Red Lentil Penne, Chickpea Rotini and Chickpea Casarecce - all of which are certified gluten free and Non-GMO Project Verified.
The pastas retail for $2.99 at select retailers nationwide.
