At Barilla, we're passionate about pasta. After all, we have been pasta makers since 1877. As an Italian family-owned food company, Barilla pasta is synonymous with high quality and "al dente" perfection every time. Our Pastina is made from the finest durum wheat and is non-GMO verified, peanut-free and suitable for a vegan or vegetarian diet. In Italy, Pastina, a tiny star-shaped pasta, is typically given to children to introduce them to the delicious world of pasta. Barilla Pastina will hold up its firm texture and delicious nutty flavor in soups and simple broths. Barilla® Pastina is crafted with the highest quality Non-GMO durum wheat semolina for a perfect "al dente" texture and delicious flavor. Tiny star-shaped pasta is perfect for your little one or for use in many soup recipes. Made with 100% durum wheat and purified water to deliver great taste and "al dente" texture every time. Dress up your next soup dish with the star quality of Pastina.
