TOP PICK OF THE WEEK: Pasta Mama’s 26 Flavored Pastas
Pasta is one of America’s favorite foods. Yet how many of us have had flavored pasta?
There is no data, but our guess is a fraction of a percent. Pasta Mamas’s aims to change that. The artisan pasta maker produces 26 flavors of pasta, plus plain and whole wheat. Available in linguine, fettuccine and papardelle, the flavors include vegetables (beets, blue corn, zucchini), spices (jalapeño, tarragon-mustard) and even sweet flavors, made without sweetener, that can be used for main courses/sides or desserts (apple spice, chocolate, cinnamon nutmeg, Irish cream). Pasta Mama’s also makes matching sauce mixes. So enjoy broccoli pasta with creamy broccoli sauce, garnished with steamed broccoli florets. Or sesame-ginger pasta with a stir fry. At $5.75 for 12 ounces of dry pasta, and another $5.75 for a packet of sauce mix, Pasta Mama’s is a delicious gift, as well as a treat for you and your family. |
