My Favorite Pasta Tools

A little about me & my pasta journey…

My name is Katie, I grew up in Delaware, went to college in New York & spent my summers on my favorite place on earth, Block Island.

I’ve been obsessed with pasta my entire life, and lucky for me, growing up in an Italian family meant lots of pasta!

My parents owned a pasta shop called Buona Pasta, which is where I got the name for my Instagram & later my pasta company 💛

I studied abroad in Florence, Italy in college & took Italian Cooking for one of my Italian language classes, which is when I fell in love with cooking, particularly Italian cuisine 🍅

Every Easter, my family makes hundreds of fresh Ricotta Ravioli. When I moved to San Diego in 2012, following my brother & brought our Easter ravioli tradition with us, making homemade ravioli with family & friends in SD each year!

A few years later I met my husband who I learned quickly also shared a love for pasta, once he experienced it homemade. 

Throughout the years, I started making pasta more & more and created an Instagram to share photos of my pasta creations & named it after my parent’s pasta shop :)

My first pasta making class, I taught my coworkers how to make pasta as a team building activity - little did I know I’d be doing it full time only a few years later!

It all started with over 100 eggs that were to go to waste at the start of the pandemic, which was my sign to officially start my pasta company, making & selling fresh pasta in San Diego!

This led me to expanding my offerings over the next 3+ years, teaching private pasta classes [both in-person & virtually!], hosting local pasta workshops around San Diego & sharing simple pasta tutorials & recipes for beginners on social media - it’s been a wild ride but wouldn’t change a thing!

Thanks everyone for following along ✌️❤️🍝
