It’s a pasta party and you’re invited! Enjoy all your favorite classic pasta shapes (and a few new ones!) with Marella Organic Pasta. Handcrafted in southern Italy and imported by Italian Harvest, this award-winning artisanal pasta is made with traditional methods and high-quality, local grain. Both their white and colorful pastas are available in an array of shapes and sizes, and are certified organic by the ICEA institution. Each handcrafted pasta is extruded through bronze dies and air-dried for 2-3 days, creating a slightly rough texture that is ideal for catching and holding all your favorite sauces.
