The Pasta
An overview of our wonderful pasta!
Our pasta is made on the day of the market so you can keep it in the fridge for 5 days.
We use a coarse ground semolina flour which gives the pasta its distinctive texture, we only use organic eggs which will give a good yellow colour without having to use dyes.
We make four shapes:
- Spaghetti
- Fusilli
- Rigatoni
- Tagliatelle
Sauces
- Gusto Tomato
- A rich blend of onions, garlic, red wine and tomatoes. This sauce is great as it is or you can add herbs, meat or vegetables. It is also useful for pizzas and for adding depth to other casseroles and sauces.
- Roast pepper, chilli and oregano
- This sauce is made " Agrodolce" which means its slightly sweet and sour, it's also spicy.
- Fresh herb sauce
- We use fresh parsley, basil and mint, walnuts and pinenuts and good extra virgin olive oil to make this fresh sauce which is equally good with simply grilled fish or chicken as it is with pasta.
- Wild mushroom butter
- This stuff is great, its a blend of wild mushrooms, herbs and butter, you can add cream and cheese to make a rich pasta sauce or you can use it to baste a chicken.
Other stuff
- Grana Padana
- We sell Grana Padana on the stall, i like to use this cheese as it is a better price than Parmesan and i can be more genorous with it.
- Lemons and Basil
- We sell good organic lemons which are great for zesting and basil in a pot which you can keep on your windowsill.
- Meatballs
- Dale from Churchtown Organic Farm makes these for me and they are great.
- Dried Pasta
- We also stock some good dried pasta and Arborio rice, for your store cupboard
You can also have a bowl of pasta at the market, cooked fresh for you.
