Who doesn't love spaghetti? Barilla Plus® noodles were the perfect base for our delicious tomato sauce and mini meatballs. Our moms were thrilled because the new line of multigrain pasta also contains protein, fibre, and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. The best part, the kids will never know. We couldn't keep their hands off the noodles while they waited for the fixings! Little hands were digging in and eating fistfuls of plain noodles, without a clue they were snacking on treats chock full of nutrients. The sauce and meatballs we made to accompany the pasta were quick and easy and a great way for the kids to get their hands dirty in the kitchen. The sauce included crushed tomatoes, garlic, onion and basil. Our delicious mini meatballs for mini mouths were made with ground beef, garlic, salt and pepper. Really quick and simple stuff.
While our team waited for lunch to be served we took advantage of the great ingredients we had and used the noodles to assemble some fun activity stations. Barilla Plus® is available in four different varieties including Penne, Rotini, Spaghetti and Spaghettini. The variety of sizes and shapes were terrific for some fun sensory play.With full tummies, and necklaces for mom, our Jr. Chefs all went home with their own box of Barilla Plus® to enjoy with the rest of the family.
