🍝 Happy National Pasta Day!!

Today, we’re teaming up with NAIT Culinary Arts to celebrate the art of pasta with a delicious showcase of creations by alumna Alyssa Paron!

As Alyssa puts it:

“If you ask me, every day is Pasta Day…but today we make it official! As an Italian, pasta isn’t just a food—it literally runs in my veins. There’s nothing quite like the ritual of turning flour and eggs into fresh, handcrafted pasta. Happy National Pasta Day to everyone who knows that carbs are a long language!”

Swipe through to see seven of Alyssa’s delicious pasta creations! 🤌🍝 This first one is a delicious Linguine alle Vongole – Linguine tossed in a white w**e, garlic and olive oil sauce with Manila clams, garnished with fresh parsley and lemon zest.

Whatever shape, sauce or flavour you’re craving today, we hope you find your perfect plate. Enjoy the pasta you’re craving today! 😋

🍝

Hand-Rolled Tajarin – Fresh tajarin noodles, hand-rolled before being boiled 🍝

Butternut Squash and Ricotta Mezzelune – Topped with crispy sage leaves and toasted pine nuts.

Lobster Tajarin – Decadent, creamy lobster sauce with butter-poached lobster served on house-made egg pasta. Garnished with fresh chives and fennel fronds.

Potato Gnocchi – Tossed in a simple tomato-basil sauce and topped with Parmigiano Reggiano.

Egg Yolk and Ricotta Raviolo – Served with prosciutto and spring peas in a butter emulsion.

Rolling Pasta! Alyssa’s Favourite – Garganelli
