Few appetizers are as refreshing and as delicious as a plate of fresh bruschetta piled high with bright, juicy tomatoes. If only you could have it as your main meal… well now you can! Bruschetta Pasta replaces the toast with your favorite tender, bouncy pasta, but leaves the delightfully herbaceous tomato precisely as you remember it. Regular marinara wishes it could taste this fresh and fulfilling!
