Coco Gauff and Barilla serve love one meal at a time

While Flushing Meadow is about to come alive with some of the best serves, volleys, and smashes, Coco Gauff and Barilla are serving another type of love. Although love might mean nothing in the tennis world, this love serving is full of deliciousness and heart on the family table.

More importantly, it can be that family dinner after a long day or a quick bite in between that long list of activities.

Ahead of this year’s US Open tennis championships, Barilla and Coco Gauff have joined forces to spread a little love. The campaign, Barilla Serving Love, is a way to bring to bring a Barilla Chickpea and Red Lentil pasta meal kit to families’ tables.
