PART TWO!

A fellow runner, FitFluential Ambassador, blogger and great friend Charlene Ragsdale and I had the opportunity finally, in our busy schedules to have a Barilla pasta party. Couldn’t have happened on a better day for me, so to see her show up at my door with a bottle of wine… I knew it would be a great night!

I cracked open the wine and we dug in to the pasta dishes as we caught up on life and our running.  I tried the Whole Grain Mezze Penne with Tomato Basil sauce, Mezze Penne with Traditional Marinara, and Whole Grain Fusilli with Vegetable Marinara. In case you missed Part One of my #Barillain60 review, it’s here.

Again, I love how convenient these meals are and that the sauce and pasta are separate. I added some fresh parmesan cheese to my dishes, because well… I am a cheese addict. 

These three dishes also did not disappoint, hearty sauce with chunks of tomatoes and veggies:

Here are Charlene and I before our 3^rd round of pasta last night… man do I have some carbs to work off now!!

Knowing there is a quick, easy, and healthy option that tastes good out there, makes me happy. I know that when I am on the go for 14+ hours some days, I have options that won’t throw me off track in my journey to be healthy.

Thanks Barilla!!
