We love pasta and make it at least once a week. Pasta is such a great pantry staple.

Whether I am just looking to make a quick and easy meal or an elegant dish for entertaining, pasta is my go-to choice.

Lately I have been loving the Barilla® Collezione artisanal pastas. The  Collezione brand is a premium pasta that comes in six artisanal pasta shapes. What makes Collezione different is the bronze cut. The cut makes the perfect texture to hold sauce. I also love that the Barilla® Collezione pasta is made with non-GMO ingredients.

You can find Barilla® Collezione at your local grocery store. I am able to find the Barilla® Collezione collection at my local Target.

If you spend $15 on any Collezione products between 09/06/18 and 11/26/18 and receive a $5 reward. I always love when I can save money on groceries!

For this Creamy Rosé Pasta, I love using the bucatini shape pasta. The cut of the pasta really holds the creamy rosé pasta sauce. This Creamy Rosé Pasta is a simple pasta dish that is great a an easy weeknight meal at home or for celebrating a special occasion.

I also love making this for date nights at home. The Collezione pasta elevates this pasta dish to an elegant pasta dish that feels like your are eating at a restaurant.

The pasta sauce is so simple to make. It starts off by soaking some raw cashews. The cashews create a creamy pasta sauce without adding any dairy! After the cashews have soaked, they get blended with some vegetable broth. I really like using broth instead of water because it adds a lot more flavor to the sauce.

Rosé wine is perfect for a creamy pasta sauce. Barilla does not sell alcohol, but you can use your favorite rosé.  Even though the wine cooks down, you are still able to taste the notes of the rosé wine. They key to any good pasta sauce recipe is to add some to the pasta cooking water to the sauce. This really helps the sauce come together and create a delicious pasta sauce.

This Creamy Rosé Pasta recipe has become a family favorite. It is easy to make and doesn't require tons of ingredients. I love how versatile this pasta recipe can be. It is simple enough for a weeknight dinner, and elegant enough for serving guests.

Add add the a little extra to the pasta, I love topping the finished dish with fresh herbs and pine nuts. The pine nuts add a really nice butteriness to the pasta.
