To cook Barilla Primizie, bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pasta and stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook according to package directions until al dente, which means tender but still firm to the bite. Drain the pasta well. It can then be tossed with your favorite sauce, added to soups, or used in baked dishes. The shape's design helps it absorb flavors from the sauce, making each bite delicious. Ensure you use enough water for even cooking.

Unlike simpler shapes like spaghetti or penne, Primizie's intricate design with its hollow center and exterior ridges is engineered to hold sauce more effectively.

How to keep the rest
