SAINT JOSEPH PASTA MAKING WITH THE GROPPO FAMILY AND FRIENDS

The Best Day!

Nina and daughter Enza

From beginning to end, the pasta-making team is well cared for. When you arrive, Nina and friends have fresh bread baking in the oven and large vats of homemade ricotta steaming on the stove top. The friendships, the fun and conversation, and especially enjoyable is observing how greatly the children love to participate. From the oldest grannies to the teens, tweens, toddlers, and everyone in-between, making pasta with friends and family makes for a simply wonderful day!

By lunchtime the pasta that was needed for Saint Joseph’s feast day was made. Then it was onto making another batch for us! Nina and Fina serving up the hungry pasta-makers Nina’s wonderful homemade sauce (made from last summer’s crop of jarred tomatoes) over the just-made pasta.
