Who doesn't love good pasta? Advocate Channel met up with celebrity chef Art Smith and LGBTQ activist David Mixner to share a new Barilla recipe that's easy and delicious to make. And even better? It'll cost you less than $10 to make!

Smith and Mixner showed us a yummy rotini pasta with onion, broccoli, kidney beans and cheese.

Barilla gives several different recipe combinations to make affordable family pasta dishes, using a basic recipe builder like the video above. People can pick their favorite pasta, whether that be rotini, fettuccine, angel hair, etc. Next, add your choice of oil and base flavoring, like garlic and onion. After, mix your choice of vegetables and protein. Top it off with cheese and voila! You have your perfect personal pasta recipe.

As a respected activist, Mixner chatted, via Zoom, with Smith while they cooked the same recipe from their respective kitchens. Both talked about their passion for good food from Barilla, and Barilla's passion for human rights and leadership in diversity with the LGBTQ community. Mixner said:

"When I met Guido Barilla for the first time, he said to me, 'I don't want to do well, I want us to be the best - just like our pasta.'

And that's exactly where the company is headed. The Human Rights Campaign Fund has given Barilla a 100% rating, considering them one of the better companies in terms of diversity and equality for all. Human Rights Council Corporate Equality Index
