Growing up in a food-loving Italian household, I have learned from an early age that pasta is a serious business. Seriously! Choosing the right pasta is just as important as preparing the meal itself. The pasta choice literally makes the meal.

While my mom would often make pasta from scratch when I was younger, it was time-consuming. So, she and my dad would always by pasta they knew was authentic and good tasting.

I have inherited their taste in pasta. I recently discovered Country Pasta. This homemade style egg pasta takes all of the mess out of making pasta from scratch. What makes Country Pasta stand apart from other kinds of pasta is quality, fresh ingredients and the old-fashioned roll and cut production method.
