BARILLA Protein+ (Plus) provides a good source of plant-based protein for the whole family—while keeping the classic taste your whole family loves! Made with delicious golden wheat and protein from lentils, chickpeas, and peas, Barilla Protein+ pasta provides a good source of protein for the whole family with 17g of protein per 3.5oz serving. BARILLA Protein Plus pasta cooks just like traditional pasta! Simply boil 4-6 quarts of salted water, add the pasta and boil for 7-9 minutes. We love to cook our pasta for 7 minutes, but you can add 1-2 extra minutes for more tender pasta.
