Pasta from Zelli

We're excited to now carry Zelli Pasta at our farm store! 🍝✨   This small-batch pasta is owned and operated by Mitchell Owen and Angelina Bowen and made using organic North American durum wheat, milled fresh and bronze-die extruded — giving it that rough texture so sauces actually cling (just like traditional Italian pasta).   We currently have: ✨ Soup Noodles — perfect for cozy broth nights ✨ Rigatoni — great for ragu, baked pasta, or hearty sauces ✨ Creste di Gallo — versatile and fun for almost any dish   Fresh, high-quality, and from passionate makers — we're excited to bring this to our farm store! Stop by and grab a box for dinner tonight 🍝🌱   Creste di gallo: The literal translation of creste di gallo is “coxcomb”. Believed to have originated in Florence, Italy. This short cut is pretty flexible and works with most pasta sauces. About Zelli Pasta: Zelli pasta has a little different look, feel, and quality than most are used to. There are a few reasons for this: Our pasta is made using bronze extruder dies. They leave the pasta with a rougher surface area for sauce to cling to. Most large manufacturers use Teflon dies because they are more efficient and easier; however, the pasta ends up being shiny and slippery. Not a good combo for sauce.  We use high quality organic durum wheat flour. This flour is all sourced from organic farms in North America, then milled in the USA.   Rigatoni: Pasta tubes have slight grooves on their sides. This is where they actually get their name. The Italian word “rigare” meaning “to scratch” or “draw a line.” We love a Rigatoni alla carbonara; however, this shape is great with a ragu and even baked!
