Who loves spaghetti? At momstown Niagara, we do! Barilla Canada's latest line of pasta, called Barilla PLUS®, is a new multigrain pasta that contains protein, omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and fibre. Not only does it deliver superior nutritional benefits, but the same great taste you expect from a regular pasta, too! We met up at St. James Anglican Church and had the chance to try it out for our Jr. Chef Event!
What tastes best on top of spaghetti? Why meatballs of course! Today we made spaghetti & meatballs.
For our meatballs, we added lean ground beef, parmesan cheese, garlic bbq sauce, eggs and breadcrumbs into a bowl. We then mixed our messy meatball mixture with our hands! Our meatballs were rolled into balls and baked at 400°F for 25 minutes. Click here for a few other great recipes!

We added our Barilla PLUS® spaghetti into a pot of boiling water and cooked it for 11
minutes. Due to its higher protein content Barilla PLUS® takes several
extra minutes to cook than traditional pasta.
While we were waiting for our spaghetti and meatballs to
cook, we made a lion craft using Barilla Rotini. In addition to tasting
great, Barilla Pasta also can be used to make fun crafts!
We set our crafts aside to let the glue dry, and it was time to eat!
We
enjoyed our Barilla PLUS® Spaghetti with meatballs and a side of caesar
salad. It was delicious! Not only did our Barilla PLUS® pasta have all
of the additional healthy benefits, it tasted great too. If you have a
picky eater, it is very easy to incorporate vegetables into your
pasta dish. An onion, a pepper, some cauliflower, and even spinach can
be pureed or blended and tossed into your sauce without ever being
detected! Barilla pasta can be served any day of the week in hundreds of different ways. For recipe ideas, visit www.Barilla.ca
After our lunch, as a special surprise we celebrated Kierans 3rd birthday with singing and cupcakes! Happy Birthday Kieran!
Before
leaving, we all received some Barilla pasta to make at home. Thanks
Barilla for allowing us to try your new line of heart healthy great
tasting pasta!
