Pasta & Risotto

Make better pasta at home with our Italian pasta and risotto collection: bronze-die dried pasta, organic and egg pasta, fresh ravioli, gnocchi, sourdough pasta and Arborio and Carnaroli rice for risotto.

Sourdough pasta, fresh ravioli and bronze-die shapes

Leavyned sourdough pasta is naturally fermented for flavor and easier digestion. Try rigatoni, fusilli and macaroni, sold individually or in 6-packs and a variety pack. From Nicola's Marketplace, choose fresh ravioli such as beef short rib, butternut squash and cheese, plus bronze-die pasta bundles and a Cacio e Pepe bundle with everything you need. Bronze-die pasta has a rough, porous surface that holds sauce far better than smooth supermarket pasta.

Matching pasta and sauce

Pair long shapes like spaghetti and bucatini with oil, cream or light tomato sauces. Use tubes and ridged shapes like rigatoni for chunky ragù, and stuffed pasta with butter and sage. Finish with grated Parmigiano or Pecorino or bottarga, and browse our Italian sauces and pesto.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is bronze-die pasta?

Pasta extruded through bronze dies has a rough, matte surface that grips sauce. It is the traditional method used by artisan Italian producers.

What is sourdough pasta?

Pasta made with a natural sourdough starter and fermented before drying. Many people find it more flavorful and easier to digest.

Which rice is best for risotto?

Carnaroli and Arborio are the classic risotto rices. Carnaroli holds its shape slightly better, while Arborio releases more starch for a creamier texture.
