Fall and pumpkin go hand in hand, and what better way to celebrate the season than with homemade Pumpkin Gnocchi?

We spent a wonderful fall afternoon making these gnocchi completely from scratch, from preparing the dough to shaping each little pillow by hand using traditional gnocchi boards!

A big THANK YOU to everyone who joined me! I hope you enjoyed the experience, learned something new, and are proud of the delicious gnocchi you made! ❤️

🇮🇹 A Little Taste of Calabria This Chilly Fall! 🍂

This Saturday, October 24, we're taking a little culinary trip to Calabria, in Southern Italy, to make Calabrian Fusilli, also known as Fileja! This beautiful, rustic pasta has been shaped by hand for generations, and now you can learn to make it yourself!

In this hands-on class, I'll guide you step by step through the process of turning simple ingredients into beautiful pasta spirals using traditional techniques. No pasta machines, no fancy equipment, just your own two hands!

You'll make everything completely from scratch and take home the pasta you create, ready to cook up a comforting meal on a chilly fall evening.

- Saturday, October 24
- 2:30–4:30 PM
- Cookeville, TN

Beginner-friendly! No previous pasta-making experience needed.

Interested in joining us? Comment FUSILLI or send me a message for details and registration. I'd love to have you at my pasta table! ❤️

SOME EXCITING NEWS FOR PASTA DI MONA®! ❤️

We're going to be part of the Mistletoe Market at Leslie Town Centre in Cookeville this year! And the story of how this came about is nothing short of a little miracle!

We actually applied after the deadline, and we knew that getting a spot would be nearly impossible. We were told that in the past five years, only once had a vendor canceled and a spot become available! But somehow, God worked things out! A spot opened up, and here we are, getting ready to be part of this wonderful event!

I'm so grateful for this unexpected opportunity and excited to bring Pasta di Mona® to the Mistletoe Market! Sometimes doors open when you least expect them, and this is one of those moments when you can't help but thank God for His goodness. ❤️

I hope to see many of you for the Mistletoe Market at Leslie Town Centre in Cookeville!

A big THANK YOU to everyone who joined me! I hope you enjoyed the experience, learned something new, and are proud of the pasta you made! Looking forward to more pasta-making adventures together! ❤️

We never thought we'd see the day when the egg was made without the chicken! 🥚

But, here we are! Fake eggs produced through fermentation using MOLD! are already being used in products sold at Walmart and Target.

Just so we're clear: If you ever hear that I'm using fake eggs in my Pasta di Mona pasta, you'll know I've been cloned and replaced by an impostor!😂 Only real eggs from real free-range chickens. That's how I make my pasta, and that's how I intend to keep it! ❤️

HELP ME BEAT FACEBOOK’S ALGORITHM! ❤️

Did you know that Facebook doesn't always show my posts to everyone who follows Pasta di Mona? That's why your engagement means so much! When you see my posts and scroll past without interacting, Facebook may interpret that as a lack of interest and gradually show my content to fewer people, including you. Eventually, you might stop seeing my posts altogether!!

So, a simple 👍, a quick comment or share helps signal to Facebook that my content is worth showing and keeps my small business from getting lost in the algorithm.

To those of you who regularly interact with my posts, I see you and you have my deepest appreciation! And to everyone else, no pressure! Just know that those little clicks mean a whole lot to me! ❤️THANK YOU!

For the very first time, we brought a Pasta di Mona® class to Celina, the gateway to beautiful Dale Hollow Lake!

We made Cavatelli together from scratch, completely by hand, and I couldn’t have asked for a better setting than Celina’s beautiful brand-new library. What a wonderful new space for the community!

Thank you to everyone who joined me and made this first Celina class such a special one. I enjoyed meeting you, sharing a little bit of pasta tradition, and seeing all that handmade pasta come together.

Thank you, Celina, for such a warm welcome. I hope this was only the first of many! ❤️
