Barilla Creates Spotify Playlists Exactly As Long As You Should Cook Pasta


Barilla pasta timer playlist on Spotify

In a partnership with Spotify, Barilla launched a clever series of playlists that extend for just the right amount of time for you to cook several types of pasta. Titles of the playlists include “Mixtape Spaghetti,” “Boom Bap Fusilli,” “Pleasant Melancholy Penne,” “Moody Day Linguine,” “Top Hits Spaghetti,” “Best Song Penne,” “Timeless Emotion Fusilli” and “Simply Classics Linguine.”

As the article points out, this may be the start of many more food and music collaborations in the year to come, as we find ourselves continuing to cook more from home.
