The Deluxe Pasta Sampler contains five varieties of pasta and a bottle of infused olive oil to drizzle over pasta or to dress a side salad.Papardelle is a long flat egg pasta, approximately 1/2″ in width. The addition of eggs rather than water to make this Pappardelli produces a pasta which is much more delicate than the commercial dry pastas found in most grocery stores. It cooks in just 2 minutes! Pappardelli pairs well with a meat ragu as well as a creamy white sauce.

Orecchiette are pasta with a concave shape that is said to resemble “little ears”. This traditional pasta is made with first rate durum wheat semolina and water and is manufactured using the “delicate” method by Benedetto Cavalieri.

Lapiana’s authentic Italian stuffed pasta made using only the finest ingredients can be served simply with melted butter and sage or with your favorite sauce. Ravioli Stuffed with Squash bursts with flavor.

Artisan pasta maker Gianluigi Peduzzi maintains the proud Rustichella d’Abruzzo tradition started by his grandfather in the early 1900s. Durum wheat flourishes in the salty Adriatic breezes and water from pure mountain water used in the pasta making is said to work magic. It is here that the Rustichella d’Abruzzo tradition grows, producing all natural, artisinal pastas superior flavor, texture, and yeild. Fregola Sarda is a durum wheat toasted pasta from Sardinia that is usually served with either a shellfish broth or soups. Present almost everywhere in Italy, and quite often in Greek dishes, rice-shaped Orzo is great in soups or as a side dish.

Boscovivo’s infused olive oils are a wonderful way to sample the different flavors a good extra virgin olive oil can offer. Boscovivo begins with extra virgin olive oil and then adds extract of fine herbs.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil Infused with Rosemary is especially well suited for preparing game meats. Rosemary Infused Oil can be used as a seasoning in a variety of dishes including fruit salads, soups, vegetables, meat (particularly lamb), fish and egg dishes, stuffings and dressings.
