Barilla's Limited-Edition Pasta Shape Will Make Your Valentine's Day Dinner Extra Special

Whether you're celebrating with your significant other or a group of friends, cooking a homemade meal for Valentine's Day is a thoughtful way to enjoy the holiday. To make the day of love extra special, Barilla announced that it is relaunching its heart-shaped pasta—Barilla Love.

This limited-edition pasta shape is back for its third year in a row. It's available on Amazon and on shelves across the country at select Barilla retailers from mid-January through February. If you're dining out, the pasta shape will also be available at select restaurants nationwide.

In a 2024 survey commissioned by Barilla, the company found that "61 percent of Americans consider sharing a special meal their favorite way to celebrate Valentine’s Day, and 63 percent say enjoying a meal together—whether at home or in a restaurant—is their preferred way to express love in everyday life."

Barilla Love is made with the same ingredients as Barilla's classic pasta, and is inspired by the company's mezzi rigatoni shape. Barilla Love can be used in a variety of pasta-based dishes, from our delicious Baked Ziti to this Rigatoni With Sausage and Fennel recipe.

No matter how it's used, Barilla's heart-shaped pasta is the perfect way to spread your love through a warm, homemade meal this Valentine's Day.
