Three Fall Season Dishes for Pasta Month
National Pasta Month is here! Now is the time to drive traffic with your pasta celebrations. At Barilla we think about pasta all year, so we’ve got all the inspiration you need; from fall season flavors to authentic and regional Italian, a crowd-pleasing mac and cheese or something completely different.
LTOs are a proven vehicle to drive traffic and engagement with new and returning guests, and leaning into holidays and seasons is one of the best and simplest roads to take. Let these dishes spark your pasta inspiration by leaning into fall ingredients and flavors:
It’s not just pasta month, it’s also soup season! As cooler weather brings out the craving for comforting, warming soups, take them there with this seasonal soup with ditalini pasta.
This dish from Chef Jessica Bograd is a master class in fall flavors – butternut squash and shaved brussel sprouts are oven-roasted, then tossed with rigatoni in a warm dressing of bacon, honey and mustard. Slightly sweet and deeply satisfying!

From Chef Lindsay Malland of Mama Stortini’s, this seasonal special makes full use of brown butter, a trending flavor that fits the season like a cozy sweater. Spaghetti tossed with bacon lardons and roasted mushrooms gets an umami boost from a unique blend of parmesan and Greek mizithra cheeses.
