These artisanal pastas can make an ordinary pasta dish extraordinary, allowing you to serve a gourmet dinner from the convenience of home. Explore this collection of gourmet pasta, gourmet rice and gourmet grains and stock your pantry with the styles you prefer.

Pasta Styles

This Williams Sonoma collection includes a variety of Italian-made pastas. These pastas are made in Italy's Apulia region, where the pasta is created using locally made semolina flour. These pastas hold sauces well thanks to the artisanal extrusion techniques that allow the pasta to gently dry for days. The result is a gourmet pasta that pairs well with your favorite sauce, whether that's a Bolognese, marinara or Alfredo.

When exploring this collection, consider the different varieties of pasta that are available. You can find colorful confetti or summer-shaped pasta. This collection also includes paccheri, orecchiette, pappardelle, maccherone and many others. If you simply can't decide, opt for a pasta sampler pack, which delivers fresh pasta to your doorstep. These frozen pasta packs include three different styles, such as tagliatelle, angel hair and pappardelle, which you can mix-and-match with your favorite sauce. These sampler packs allow you to enjoy the flavors of fresh, homemade pasta without making it from scratch.

Pasta Gifts and Accessories

Pasta is a universally popular food, which makes it a thoughtful gift for any foodie. Gifts for pasta lovers abound and include prepared dinner kits that make pasta night easier than ever.
