Close to Home Pasta Company

San Diego, CA

Found this fabulous gem hiding in plain site at the Poway farmers market during our recent five day heat wave. It was 90 degrees in February! Oh my!

While speaking to the pleasant, helpful employee I narrowed down which pasta choices to purchase. I decided upon the red bell pepper pasta and the cheese ravioli. Their area at the market can be found at the far end of the rectangle. On the drive home I put them in our cooler. 

I decided to cook both the ravioli & pasta for lunch with an organic tomato sauce. Before I take my pasta off the stove I always taste a piece. Wow was my first thought! Over the years I’ve eaten my share of pasta and only the good cooks can achieve infused flavor. Which usually means you either gotta cook it yourself from scratch or find a really good Italian restaurant. Not in this case.

They have definitely achieved pasta nirvana in my book. In a convenient to go package. The red bell pepper pasta tasted almost as if I was biting into the pepper itself! The cheese ravioli has a pleasing texture with subtle pasta & cheese flavor. I’m looking forward to purchasing more varieties at either the farmers market or online delivery.  

Cheese ravioli, red bell pepper pasta with organic tomato sauce and tiny bits of sliced ham, yum!
