Great Pasta Shop!

Okay, I live in small town... And it faces the challenges of many small towns, small businesses coming and going, but this business is here to stay, I hope!

My friend Lisa told me about Bozza Pasta.

CHECK OUT THEIR FAMILY WEBSITE HERE!

OH MY STARS.

Hand-shaped pasta, amazing flavors, wonderful texture, all kinds of flavors and blends and textures... I have found my pasta mother ship!

I am so happy right now!  This is the five cheese roasted red pepper tortelloni... It was beyond amazing.


And we did a veggie medley to go along with:

Then this was the black pepper and garlic fettuccine so we did a fresh veggie medley to go with it: With a little roasted garlic herb seasoning, of course, because everything (except pie) is better with roasted garlic herb! 




The Bozza family's pasta is now being carried in some wonderful restaurants and in some Wegman's Grocery Store (the benchmark grocery store that began right here in Rochester a long, long time ago! If you live near a Wegman's supermarket, you know what I mean!)


Then I made toasted garlic and butter bagel bites to go with this amazing cheesy dip we found at Bozza's!


And a light marinara sauce to top it off... Doesn't this look amazing? The pretty plate doesn't hurt, either!

This is my first time playing with hand-crafted pastas, but it won't be the last. There's an amazing ravioli that I can't wait to try... and more of those linguines and fettuccines!

I am in pasta love!

      And you can see them making the pasta... and they freeze some of it so you can keep it in your freezer until cooking time. Missy, I can't begin to tell you the difference!

      I love the boost of summertime veggies for our mixes... and Cate, I hope so, too. I think they've built it enough right now to be noticed, if a big company like Wegmans is ordering for some of their stores... and how cool to watch a launch company like this!

    OH....I'm so hungry now. And so sad. Pasta is strictly off limits to me right now but it looks so good!

      I hear you! If you're low-carb, pasta is THE ENEMY.... but it's such a beloved enemy! Soon, LeAnne!

    I have a pasta shop close by. It's open concept so you can watch them make the different pastas which is so cool. I had no idea that fresh pasta would taste waaaay better than the grocery story variety until I visited that shop. Divine!!!! They sell all kinds of homemade sauces too. And such creative flavours. Your post reminds me that their autumn selections will be available soon. They make this squash ravioli that just melts in your mouth in a burst of flavours. Blissful sigh. I think I might pay them a visit next week.

      These guys have a butternut squash ravioli, Kav. I haven't tried that one yet, but it's on the list!
