Four to six minutes in salted water and tossed in sauce results in a restaurant-quality plate of pasta. Explore the shapes we’re currently offering:

01 Tagliatelle

Long, wide ribbons, that pair beautifully for slow-cooked ragú

02 Spinach Ravioli

Hand-shaped pasta filled with the classic combination of ricotta and spinach.

03 Farfalle

 “Butterflies” – as playful as the name with folds that catch every bit of sauce

04 Linguine

The “Goldilocks” cut – wider than spaghetti, narrower than tagliatelle

05 Spaghetti #8

Our classic bronze-die spaghetti, with a textured surface that helps sauce cling.

06 Bucatini

Hollow strands that hold a thin sauce beautifully

07 Mezze Paccheri

Short, wide tubes suited for hearty sauces
