Barilla Spaghetti is a long, cord-like durum cut in a 410 g Classic Blue Box, about five servings. It cooks in 10 minutes. The name comes from "spagh", Italian for lengths of cord, and the shape is the one Barilla lists as most popular in Italy.
The family company behind the blue box sits in Parma, Italy, still privately held by the Barilla brothers. Boxes sold in Canada are produced in Ames, Iowa and Avon, New York, unless the pack says Made in Italy or Product of Italy. Wheat origin is not named beyond selecting the best available.
Tomato sauces, carbonara, and a garlic and oil toss are the pairings on the Canadian product page. The strands stay a firm al dente when the water is well salted and no oil is added, so sauce can cling.
