Artisan Pasta, Napa Valley Olive Oil & Balsamic Vinegar

Doesn’t fresh pasta with roasted garlic basil sauce and french bread sound wonderful for dinner??We are loving our new farfalle and penne pastas, marinara sauces, Napa Valley olive oils and balsamic vinegars! 

An Italian classic pasta line... a true artisan pasta that uses long forgotten old techniques to create distinctive flavor and texture. Durum wheat semolina is organically grown on small family farms in the rolling hills overlooking the Adriatic sea. The semolina is then carefully ground and combined with pure mountain spring water to produce a fine dough, which is extruded through hand-made bronze dies to create a rough texture. Instead of flash drying in ovens, the artisans dry their prized pasta slowly in traditional drying rooms. These practices produce a delicious hand crafted pasta with a unique porous texture that cooks evenly and holds sauces beautifully. $4.95 a Pasta Package and $8.95 Marinara Saice will take care of your wonderful meal tonight!!
