Garofalo Pasta at Costco (You'll thank me later)

When I saw my most favorite, only-available-in-Italy pasta at Costco last weekend, I almost fell over in astonishment.  This is the pasta that my sister hand-carried—lovingly hand-carried—back from Italy for me...  The pasta that I've been rationing and only cooking with the most special sauces because it's so divine... The pasta that I requested my cousin to bring my when he visits form Italy this summer...is now available at Costco (in Mountain View, Calif.).

Foodies, non-foodies, YOU. Run to Costco and buy it by the case. Trust me. (You trusted me before when I told you that the imported Tuscan olive oil from Costco was da bomb.) This pasta is the most delicious, chewiest, most wonderfully-textured "everyday" pasta you will ever eat.  And it's available at Costco.

I still can't believe it.

If I had only known, I've been buying this or years at Costco in South San Francisco. I didn't know that is was THAT good. Kewl, now I got something that you would like in my pantry, Yay!

May, just goes to show you can get everything here. Really, no need to sneak anything home in your luggage from anywhere.

I had no idea! I had never seen it in San Francisco.

Hm, you are right down the street from us now I guess since that is our Costco too!

That's what we've been buying in the Portland Costco too. yummy in the weekly batch of carbonara.

I see that pasta everytime I go to Costco and think "Huh. that must be some generic brand". I am a fool! I will grab some the next time I go there.

So, it's better than De Cecco and Barilla?

[CityMama]

It's definitely better than Barilla, and edges out DeCecco (our usual pasta).

have you tried Dreamfield pasta? It ls not whole wheat but has low carbs and high fiber and tastes great! my kids noticed it was different than our reg (barilla), but in a good way. they gobble it up!

This pasta is divine. Costco has been selling it for about a year now, and it is the best pasta I have ever had. It is so good I use less sauce with it to enjoy the flavor and texture!

How funny! This past summer a young man from Rome whom we befriended through our family there came to spend a month with us and his mother sent Garofalo pasta with him as a hostess gift!(who wouldn't want pasta directly from Rome as a hostess gift? Smart mother!) Anyway we were supposed to split the 6 bags with another family they knew here. Instead WE ATE IT ALL! Imagine my surprise a few weeks late when, at Costco, here was the same pasta! Well the "other family" never knew the difference..(that theirs was bought a few miles away!)

GAROFALO is really really good. But I've been running up and down Italy to find the secret ones (I'm from venice) and I've finally found the real best ever in the universe, you can trust me.. it's artisanal pasta done not far from Rome and it's cheap.. I have to buy like 1000kg this year. Trust me this pasta sold by "Agriservice" is so incredible I usually have without sauce, just a drop of oil.. OMG, I miss it so much here in san diego!! ;'(

[Susan]

Hello Emanuele! I am in San Diego too. Where have you found the artisanal pasta? I love the Garafalo pasta, but am always searching for something better. Please, please, please where do I look for the artisanal pasta?

I had no idea how special it was but I just started buying Garafalo pasta at Costco in the Twin Cities, MN too. It is perfectly chewy and far more satisfying than Barilla. The best part? You don't even pay a premium over the so-so brands!

I don't have any idea what is that pasta, and I want to taste that pasta, that makes me hunger, and to taste all kind of pasta...
