Love your pastas! When I make a carbonara, I use just the yolks so have to use more eggs. Keep up the great work! Next, I'm going to try your ravioli! I'm sure they'll be wonderful!


Thanks Mike for writing in my blog, it really means a lot to us, I am sure you will love my raviolis too.

fresh vs. supermaket... written by mbjb, December 31, 2009 I completely agree that the difference is so remarkable they should even be named the same thing smilies/wink.gif Back in my home town (south of Brazil, huge Italian community) there are artisan fresh pasta shops everywhere. I so dearly miss that as my "everyday" pasta. It is also very frustrating to me when I am served 'box' pasta at a restaurant... Very sad that we are all so used to the commodity/cheap pasta that most people find that acceptable. Can't wait to find and try your products! Would absolutely love if you also offered lasagna sheets. Wishing you and your company the best!


Thanks for your good words, Yes we do lots of lasagna sheets, you can get it through my web site, the shipping is very reasonable. If you are in Florida you can buy our Fresh Pasta in most Whole Foods Markets, please check the list at http://www.peperonatapasta.com/blog/whole-foods-market-add-peperonata-pasta-in-floridas-region

We were in Siesta Key visiting my parents and bought some of your peperonata sauce, puttanesca sauce and Mafalda and Creste pasta. It was delicious! How much would it be to ship pasta and sauce to zip code 83455 (Victor Idaho)? Gratzie!! Kathy

Hi! Discovered your pasta in Sarasota farmers market. Yum!!! We live in Mn and will continute to order online. How long will the pasta last in the fridge and can we freeze it. Thanks for a great product! Wendy

The amount of supermarket shelf space devoted to pasta is a good indication of its popularity with consumers. There is of course a split between dried and 'fresh' pasta but what is not so well known is that serious compromises have been made along the way, to achieve the price point and shelf life that the supermarket supply chain requires. Dried pasta is now a low cost commodity available by the box or sachet in supermarkets. Almost all dried pasta is made using an industrial process that is far removed from the ancient artisan method. The huge extruding machines use plastic dies, which have a longer life and generate less heat, so the pasta can be produced faster and with greater control. The serious downside of this is that the pasta is very smooth and slippery when cooked. The rough texture that is typical of extruding through bronze has disappeared, and with it one of the most important attributes of good pasta. In addition, industrial-speed drying of pasta at high temperatures reduces the nutritional value and can compromise taste. It is all a very long way from pasta drying slowly in open-windowed barns, using just the hot, dry southern Italian breeze. What the supermarkets call fresh pasta is neither truly fresh nor of the quality that is available fresh in Italy every day in pasta shops and bakeries. The supermarkets are able to call their pasta 'fresh' because it has not been dried. It could not be called 'freshly made' because the pasta could actually be weeks old. The shelf life is extended by a combination of processes including heat-treatment and packing in a modified atmosphere. It is often made with a reduced egg content, can contain preservatives and the heat-treatment changes the texture and the taste, gelatinising the pasta.

Thanks for all the people who take the time to write us an email always with good words, this an email from lasts week: I just wanted to say thank you. I had a small dinner party tonight and made fettucine alfredo using your basil garlic fettucine. It was fantastic. Even though the pasta was green it didn't matter cause the flavor of the pasta and the alfredo sauce was incredible. Thank you for making the wonderful pasta you do!! We really enjoyed it!
