Best handmade pasta I have ever had!
Saying I'm a pasta aficionado is a gross understatement. My answer to the "if you could only eat one thing..." question has been pasta, for as long as I could vocalize that word. I've made my own at home. I've bought artisan, hand-cut pastas at markets all over the western US. I've brought back pasta from Italy. Never have I been so delighted with unsauced pasta as the moment I discovered La Grassa.
Karl and Rebecca are the husband and wife team behind LG. They met in culinary school and did an intensive in Italy together, and they are clearly a match made in gastronomic heaven. Their vegan ravioli options are particularly incredible. I fell in love with La Grassa for their golden beet and goat cheese, but it was the charred kale and white bean vegan ravioli that brought a tear to my eye and currently tops my list of favorites.
Those don't tickle your fancy? Not to worry. Every week, they have hand-cut spinach and regular noodles in three different thicknesses, strozzapretti, at least two kinds of ravioli that rotate regularly, and usually at least one other option - potato gnocchi, parmesan and kale gnoccheti, or some other delightful surprise.
Stop by the Wednesday Market at the Sears Mall and pick up some ravioli. $8 for 6 oz - usually 8 or 9 pieces. I rarely have life-changing food adventures, but this is one of them. Don't miss out. read more
