- 01 Canestri alla Vodka - kit for 2$27.00
VEGETARIAN - Canestri go by a few other names (lumache, pipe rigate) but the translation to "basket" seems to be the most accurate descriptor of these ridged beauties. They have a hollow interior larger than rigatoni, and trap the sauce inside and out. You want to eat these with the most crave-able of accompaniments, which for us is our Vodka sauce. Made from a classic slow preparation of melted sweet onions, we add a few dashes of Calabrian chile purée, vodka (the alcohol cooks out), along with crushed San Marzano tomatoes, cream, mascarpone and Lambrusco vinegar. 12oz kit serves 2 people. CONTAINS: WHEAT, EGG, MILK
- Fresh Paccheri - 12oz$9.00
Tube shaped pasta that pairs with most any sauce. 12oz fresh pasta feeds two. CONTAINS: WHEAT, EGG
- Marinara - 12oz$8.00
Gemma Foods' mother sauce is made simply with San Marzano tomatoes, garlic, onion, carrot, Calabrian chile, basil and olive oil. Made with love and fresh for you.

- 02 Paccheri with Sunday Gravy - kit for 2$28.00
The name Paccheri is derived from the verb "to slap" - pure serendipity as we pair it with our Sunday Gravy for a dish that truly slaps! All Sunday Gravies have an origin story: Nonna inspired, maximizing flavor extraction from off cuts of pork, extra bits of sausage, meatballs or prosciutto scraps on hand, simmering in tomatoes and broth for all hours of the morning and afternoon. Ours is no different - we use a healthy amount of onions, rosemary, white wine and pork products combined with San Marzano tomato and rich chicken & beef stock. 12oz kit serves 2 people. CONTAINS: WHEAT, EGG, MILK
- 03 Bucatini Cacio e Pepe - kit for 2$27.00
VEGETARIAN - The Roman classic available here for you any time you need it. Fresh bucatini paired with a mixture of crushed and toasted black peppercorns, olive oil, Cacio de Roma cheese, salt and pasta water. This is one of those great a la minute sauces and we've reconfigured it for you without any cream or butter for a more authentic experience. Buon appetito. 12oz kit serves 2 people. CONTAINS: MILK, WHEAT, EGG
- 04 Tortellini al Tócco with Green Garlic Burro Fuso - kit for 2$30.00Out of stock
Tócco refers to slow-cooked beef alla genovese - you might see the preparation as pasta served with the braising sauces as a mid-course, with the meat sliced and served separately as a main dish. We've chosen to honor the braise with short ribs, porcini, rosemary, thyme, red wine, tomato and soffritto, packed all inside of beautiful tortellini. These tortellini are served bathed in an emulsified butter sauce featuring first of the spring Green Garlic - the young tender shoots of garlic that have yet to form hard bulbs and are sweet utterly delicious.
- 05 Carrot Gnocchi with Ramp, Lemon and Mascarpone - kit for 2$30.00
Ramp season is on, which means Spring is here. Ramps are a wild leek with a sublime garlicky through line. We're matching them with carrots that are oven-roasted, milled, and combined with fluffy ricotta to make a gnocchi base. We cut in 00 flour to just the right level to keep these gnocchi tender and light - each piece gets hand-rolled for you. Our sauce is made with olive oil-packed ramp bottoms blended into a white wine reduction with lemon, parmesan, more lemon, tender ramp tops, and mascarpone. If you've experienced a ramp (or at least been on the Chicago Architecture Tour), you know how important they are. We've had requests to bottle this sauce, but the ramps only give us so much time each year. Get it while the getting is good.
- 06 Radiatori alla Ramp Carbonara - kit for 2$29.00
Guanciale, black pepper, egg, and pecorino romano. Four very special ingredients combine to showcase Italian cooking ideals - keeping it simple, maximizing flavor. Ramps are gifted to us by nature each Spring -- the “wild leek” that is garlicky, aromatic and intense finds a home as the perfect fifth core ingredient to our carbonara. The black pepper is toasted in fat rendered from the guanciale, cured pork jowl - these black flecks give the dish its namesake “in the style of the coal miner.” We add ramp bottoms, starchy pasta water and a finish of pecorino and egg yolk to bind it all together. The leafy ramp tops are added at the very end to wilt and preserve their color. Traditionally this is a bucatini dish, but we’ve opted for radiatori (radiator shaped) with all of its grooves and grills. Whether you like all of the HVAC references here or not, the dish brings the HEAT! 12oz kit serves 2 people. CONTAINS: MILK, WHEAT, EGG
