By now, you know that I am all about an easy and stress-free weeknight meal. One of the ways I make it easier on myself is by keeping a few of my favorite Barilla pasta sauces in my pantry for easy pasta dishes and more! My family loves seafood and mussels are one of my favorites to cook up! Luckily, thanks to the new Barilla® Tomato Rosa premium pasta sauce, I was able to create the easiest and most delicious way to cook mussels any night of the week! My steamed marinara mussels with basil are so delicious and are sure to become a favorite with your whole family!
I have been loving Barilla’s NEW premium sauces and was able to pick mine up right at my local HEB grocery store in the pasta aisle! HEB is my number one go-to grocery store and I always have the best shopping experience thanks to the wide variety of products they offer! Barilla® Tomato Rosa is just one of Barilla’s new premium sauces available at HEB and it’s a must try! The tomato rosa sauce has a smooth finish and a hint of cream and cheese that was inspired by regions of Italy, which makes it perfectly luxurious as a base for my mussel recipe! I love that Barilla is non-GMO and has no preservatives, which ensures I am cooking with the highest quality of ingredients!
Making mussels for your family just got a whole lot easier thanks to Barilla Tomato Rosa pasta sauce, which takes the work out of creating a delicious sauce for you! I simply add in the sauce with a few additional ingredients and steam the mussels to create a family friendly dinner in under 20 minutes! Top the cooked mussels with a little fresh basil and serve alongside some crusty bread to soak up all of the amazing sauce! I can promise you that you won’t want even a drop of the sauce to go to waste!
This is a meal that you will be making over and over again! Make sure to head to your local HEB and stock your pantry with Barilla’s NEW pasta sauce flavors so that you can help make your weeknight dinners a breeze! Right now, you can score 2 jars for $5—making it a no-brainer!
