What obstacles to everyday What obstacles to everyday use? use?
1. “Makes you fat”2. “It’s empty calories”3. “Needs work to be turned into a meal”4. Low novelty, innovation vs. bread, cereals!
These are the obstacles we need to remove in order to promote the use of pasta everyday: for one, we need to teach people how to eat pasta (low

Barilla PLUSBarilla PLUS“The pasta has a remarkable resemblance and taste to regular pasta, so much so that I was able to use my own secret barometer – my teenage son – to measure the taste. He didn’t have a clue that I hadn’t used a ‘regular’ pasta and ate heartily…..Barilla’s new line is a winner.” - Chicago Sun-Times, June 8, 2005
“Not your average bowl of noodles, this new multigrain pasta offers more than just a good dose of carbs”- Runners World, June 2005
“They’ve wedged in 10g protein and 4 g fiber by using bean flour instead of wheat, but you’ll never notice the difference. Promise.” - Men’s Health, June 2005-07-28
“…it has a great nutty flavor that we love.” - Parents Magazine, May 2005
“This is one multigrain pasta you won’t have to trick yourself into eating….Did we mention that it tastes pretty darn good, too?” - Health Magazine, May 2005
“A 2-oz. serving provides 1 g of fat, 10 g of protein, 4 g of fiber and only 200 calories … The familiar comfort meal for the family can now be easily transformed into a meal providing significant health benefits. And nobody needs to know” – Food Processing, August 2005
