One of my favorite things to do is to try to make dishes from different cultures. It exposes my family to food from all over the world while helping me improve my cooking skills. It’s been a while since I have tried something different so when I saw that Barilla was offering an opportunity to try one of their sauces through Moms Meet, I jumped on the opportunity.

I’ve never cooked with pesto before in my life. It’s something I’ve tried before but since my husband rarely eats it, I have never added to many dishes. Now that my kids are getting older and everyone has their own palate I wanted to give it a try with a pasta dish for me and my daughter. When my kit arrived I opened it and inside was one jar of Barilla® Creamy Genovese Pesto, products coupons, and a branded tote bag.
Once I opened my kit I was ready to cook. Dinner ideas was already swirling around in my head once I saw the sauce. Pasta was the first thing I thought about to mix with the sauce. Since I had some angel hair pasta and thought it would be a great fit to go along with my baked salmon.
Tips & Recipie Ideas
Things didn’t go well for me on my first try. Thankfully I realized the Barilla website has a lot of suggestions for cooking with the sauce. When visiting the site I learned about the types of pasta they suggested for the sauce. Barilla has a variety of recommendations you can use for the creamy pesto sauce.
