Homemade Pasta Noodles The only pasta shop providing hand made pasta & hands-on pasta classes & Friday Night Pasta Plates I am a fourth generation Italian American. e Farmers Market.

In our large Italian family, homemade pasta is #1. Our family takes pride in passing the pasta machine down the family tree but as our fast-paced lives progress many things take us out of the kitchen. Traditions become memories and stories of generations past and family techniques, inadvertently, become lost. I have been trained by three generations of strong women with traditional techniques to m

aking homemade pasta noodles. My grandma patiently taught me to pay close attention to the type of flour selected, the weight of the egg, the temperature of the room, the moisture in the dough, the amount of time you handle the dough, and the most important part; the thickness of the dough. The ingredients may be the same as dried pasta, but the taste is better, and the texture is better.

Today I pause with gratitude for my grandfather and great-grandfather, whose service and sacrifice helped shape both our family and this country. Their strength, courage, and willingness to serve during difficult times created a legacy of resilience, honor, and deep appreciation for freedom. I carry pride in their stories and gratitude for the example they set — hardworking, humble, and devoted to something greater than themselves. Their legacy continues to live on around our family table, in our traditions, and in the values they passed down.

One of the most important ingredients in peasant kitchens is the humble cannellini bean.

Known as “the meat of the poor,” beans became a staple throughout Italy because they were hearty, inexpensive, and nourishing. They appeared in soups, stews, and simple family meals shared around long wooden tables.

This creamy Cannellini Bean Dip is inspired by those traditions. Rustic. Honest. Simple ingredients transformed into something unforgettable.

Serve it with grilled bread, a glass of wine, and people you love.
