Pastabilities Organic Kids Pasta is the most recent addition to the growing organic pasta selections by The Pasta Shoppe. Choose from five “everyday” fun themes focused on getting Mom’s attention. The 12 ounce boxes are colorfully designed and include a window to peek at the fun shapes. Each box offers a combination of shapes and colors, made from 100% organic durum wheat and vegetable powders. Pastabilities Organic Kids Pasta is available by the case, or in a shipper.

“The organic market is booming and retailers are looking for differentiated products that will appeal to Moms out there searching for healthier options for her family,” commented John Aron, President. “The initial response has been very positive, and our first sale has happened even before the boxes were ready!”

Additional organic pasta lines from The Pasta Shoppe include Organic Healthy Grains, which highlights Sprouted, Spelt and Kamut Khorasan ancient grain wheats. The three pastas are created in the Italian Gigli or “Lilly” shape and are extruded using hand crafted bronze dies. Another line extension, Italian Inspired Organic Pasta offers beautiful shapes from the small regions of Italy. The tri-color pasta is very appealing to consumers because of the shapes and packaging.

The Pasta Shoppe is a boutique pasta manufacturer of fun shapes, healthy grains, and organic pasta. Located in Nashville, Tennessee, The Pasta Shoppe has been creating and carving out a special niche in the pasta business since 1994. Known as an innovator in the fun shaped pasta arena, The Pasta Shoppe sells to retailers all over the US and currently exports to Asia and South America.

The Pasta Shoppe’s boutique pasta manufacturing process has been built to reflect the small manufacturing plants all over Italy, using only premium ingredients and “Old World” processes. All of The Pasta Shoppe’s specialty pasta is made using bronze dies which give a rough, matte texture that is porous and holds sauce beautifully. Large industrial manufacturers typically use Teflon tooling which leave a smooth shiny finish. The choice of manufacturing with only premium wheats and ingredients along with the slow cart drying of the pasta, preserves the nutritional quality and taste of the product.

Combining fun shapes, innovation and high quality manufacturing, The Pasta Shoppe offers customers a wide variety of differentiated pasta lines to consider. With every dining experience, the final cooked pasta has wonderful consistency and flavor…and adds a lot of fun!
