Executive Chef Matt Harding’s menu at Bravo Italian restaurants runs the breadth of authentic Italian cuisine, from indulgent dishes to lighter Mediterranean fare. One mainstay of the menu is his “Penne Mediterranean.” It’s a dish that proves better-for-you choices don’t have to taste or seem like sacrifices. The combination of sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, fresh herbs and feta cheese bursts with the fresh flavors of the Mediterranean. It was once a slow seller, but a simple change in the menu description – not the recipe – to reflect the Barilla® Protein+™ penne at its foundation, moved it up from #8 to
the #3 pasta on the menu.
