Hi all! As usual, I’m going to cut right to the chase here on the ole blog-a-roo. I would love to be that girl that whips up homemade pasta, but in reality, I’m a busy business owner in the middle of wedding season and I just sold my pasta maker on Ebay. (No lie.) When I heard about Parla Pasta (made in HighPoint, North Carolina – NC represent!), I felt like I had discovered this life changing secret.
This family-run business has been creating small batch pastas since 1985 and their slogan is right up my alley – “We Speak Pasta.” Can we say Speaking. My. Language. Much.?
As a card carrying Italian, pasta is my favorite food group. I take my pasta seriously. As with most frozen pastas, I wondered how fresh Parla would be but it honestly blew me away with it’s restaurant quality taste! With many classic varieties like Cheese Ravioli and Asiago Tortellini, I highly suggest keeping Parla Pasta in your freezer for a quick go to meal any day of the week. I’ve provided a list of retailers below as well as a quick recipe for Asiago Tortellini with Quick Tomato Cream Sauce below. As they say in Italy, Salud!
Two jars of your favorite tomato sauce
1/2 cup heavy cream
Grated Parmesan or Romano, to taste
