Bosas is no longer selling Pasta Riscossa at all. I really like their uncut ziti (the really long ones). I've checked Santa Barbara and La Grotta to no avail. Does anyone know who is still selli...

So, my mom just made a few phone calls to different grocery stores and Italian speciality places trying to track down a pasta of all things. Once she has something to focus on she doesn't seem to ...

Called my local italian deli and asked if they had "fresh pasta" and they said yes. My wife picked it up and came home with a bouquet of dried pasta that looked like the "fancy" expensive dried pa...
