Easter

The decoration is built right in.

Welcome spring with a cozy pasta that’s just the right amount of festive.

If you’ve ever been intimidated by the thought of making fresh pasta at home, look no further. Ricotta gnocchi is simple to make, and it’s faster and more foolproof than its potato counterparts. The only tricky part is adding enough flour so that your dough is easy to work with, but not so much that it becomes stodgy or tough. If you don't want to make the buttery herb and pea sauce, use whatever you'd prefer, be it marinara, pesto, or sage and brown butter. 

Coconut milk and lots of zippy aromatics bring life to this creamy cod chowder. 

Like your empanadas fried? This dough was specifically developed to withstand hot oil, and it works beautifully with any filling of your choosing.
