Pasta
| At The Italian Farmhouse we offer only the best quality, most authentic Italian pasta (known as Garofalo). The Italians have spent over 200 years mastering the art of making Garofalo Pasta and today these traditional methods are still used to create a pasta (made from Duram Wheat Semolina) with a surface texture which is specially roughened to hold more sauce (and of course to be more interesting to the palate). | |
