March 2026 - Artisanal Pasta
What’s in the Box
If you’ve been craving an artisan gift box that turns a weeknight dinner into an “Italy-level” moment, this month’s Artisanal Pasta box is basically a pantry-powered passport.
Pasta Fun Facts
There’s science behind the pairing of specific pasta to specific sauces: short, hollow shapes shine with meaty, chunky sauces, while long, thin strands are perfect for mopping up luxurious sauces.
Di Bruno Bros — Gemelli
A burst of flavor in every twist!
The Story
This unique cut originated in Puglia, Italy, and translates to the word “twins,” which the two intertwined strands resemble. The gentle curvature, paired with bronze-extruded texture, gives your sauce even more places to cling—so every bite tastes like it was made on purpose.
Try it with: chunky tomato sauces, sausage ragù, or roasted veggie sauces.
Morelli — Truffle Tagliolini (Italian Pasta with Wheat Germ)
Gourmet Italian truffle tagliolini made with durum wheat semolina—including the wheat germ, which naturally contains vitamins A, D, and E, plus vegetable protein.
Morelli’s truffle pasta is flavored with real truffles (no GMOs) and crafted in small batches for consistently high quality. Tagliolini is slightly thinner than tagliatelle and similar to fettuccine in width—perfect when you want an elegant noodle that still feels comforting.
Serving suggestion
Best served simply: olive oil or butter, sage, and Parmigiano Reggiano. Also delicious with carbonara.
Di Bruno Bros — Arrabbiata Pasta Sauce
“Arrabbiata” means “angry” in Italian, but one taste and you’ll be anything but.
The Story
Part of Di Bruno Bros’ Private Collection sauce line (alongside Tomato Basil and Vodka Cream), this sauce features kettle-cooked Italian tomatoes and premium ingredients—built for bold, classic flavor with a little attitude.
Perfect for: gemelli, penne, rigatoni—anything that loves a punchy tomato sauce.
Zia Pia — Tomato Sauce with Olives and Capers (By Perché Ci Credo)
Perché Ci Credo’s take on classic puttanesca brings locally sourced black olives, capers, and onion from Salento. Warm it, toss it with pasta, and you’ve got a fast meal that tastes like it took all afternoon.
Why it matters
Perché Ci Credo translates to “Because I believe in it,” reflecting founder Enrico De Lorenzo’s passion for ready-to-eat Italian foods made with fresh, simple ingredients. Their sauces and condiments capture the bold, intense flavors of Salento, Puglia—with no artificial preservatives, additives, colorings, or added sugar. All products are gluten free, and most are vegan friendly.
Why We Love This Month’s Box
This month is all about story + flavor + purpose—from Puglian “twin” pasta shapes designed to hold sauce, to truffle tagliolini that’s luxurious without being fussy, to two distinctly Italian tomato sauces that can take you from quick comfort to “dinner party” in minutes.
And it’s incredibly giftable: these aren’t just products—they’re experiences. If you’re shopping for gourmet gifts or an artisan food gift that feels thoughtful (and delicious), this box hits that sweet spot. It’s also a fun way to treat yourself with a specialty subscription box that keeps dinner exciting.
