February 2026 - Artisanal Pasta
If your idea of comfort food starts with a pot of boiling water, this box is for you. February’s Artisanal Pasta Box brings together two standout pasta shapes and two bold, ultra-Italian sauces—truffle-luxe and Calabrian-spicy—so you can build restaurant-worthy meals with minimal effort.
Pasta Fun Fact
In Italy, spaghetti is traditionally eaten with only a fork, twirled against the bowl to form a perfect bite. Many Americans add a spoon to “help” with the twirl—effective, yes… but not exactly nonna-approved. 😉
GL Truffle Gourmet Line – Creamy Truffle & Parmigiano “Duetto” Sauce
A rich, velvety sauce made with DOP Parmigiano Reggiano and chopped Black Summer Truffle—luxury comfort in a jar.
Why it’s special
- Creamy, savory, and deeply aromatic truffle flavor
- Crafted in Italy for an authentic truffle-house experience
- A little goes a long way: instant upgrade to pasta night
Ingredients
Truffle juice, fresh cream, sunflower oil, milk, DOP Parmigiano Reggiano (5%), modified starch, chopped Black Summer Truffle (3%), butter, meadow mushrooms, extra virgin olive oil
About the maker
GL Truffle Gourmet Line brings an authentic taste of Italy to your kitchen, celebrating the country’s truffle heritage and culinary traditions—no passport required.
TuttoCalabria – Calabrian ‘Nduja Sauce
Turn up the heat (in the best way). This smoky, spicy, spreadable sauce is made with authentic Calabrese ‘nduja sausage and Calabrian chili flavor.
Product highlights
- Bold, smoky Calabrian flavor with signature chili warmth
- Ready to use: stir into pasta, spread on sandwiches, spoon onto pizza
- Versatile: sauce, condiment, or “flavor accelerator”
- Product of Italy (crafted in Calabria)
Flavor note
Savory + smoky depth first, then a satisfying lingering kick.
Morelli – Organic Italian Pappardelle (with Wheat Germ)
These wide ribbons are made with durum wheat semolina plus wheat germ, giving the pasta a uniquely nutty, full-bodied flavor and a texture that loves sauce.
Why we love it
- Dense, hearty noodles that absorb sauces beautifully
- Wheat germ adds richness and a slightly nutty bite
- Great for simple olive oil moments or big, bold pairings
Made in Italy
Crafted in small batches in Tuscany at the historic Morelli pasta factory (operating since 1860).
Giadzy – Organic Taccole Pasta
A pasta shape that’s equal parts rare and ridiculously fun. Taccole has a ridged center and ruffled edges—more surface area = more sauce clinging in every bite.
What makes it awesome
- Hard-to-find shape in the U.S. (made by only a handful of Italian makers)
- Textural “furrows + frills” that hold sauce beautifully
- Perfect for baked casseroles and sheet-pan style pasta dishes
About Giadzy
Created by Giada De Laurentiis and the Giadzy team after years of pasta taste-testing and research with Italian pasta makers—built around what matters most: taste, texture, and fun.
How to Enjoy This Box
A few easy, delicious ways to pair what’s inside:
- Truffle “Duetto” + Pappardelle: silky, cozy, date-night pasta at home
- ‘Nduja Sauce + Taccole: spicy, smoky, and super satisfying
- Mix-and-match move: do a “two-sauce tasting night” and let everyone pick their vibe
- Upgrade tip: add a splash of pasta water to either sauce for a glossy, clingy finish
