It’s a night of fresh pastabilities 🍝

Check out chef Tony Quartaro’s menu of fresh, seasonal, local pasta at the next Monday Night Foodball. [READER]( [Food & Drink]( Nobody makes eating fresh pasta at home easier than Tony Quartaro. Since I wrote about him [last summer]( the former Formento’s chef installed his roving fresh pasta delivery service [Gemma Foods]( into a permanent Grand Avenue brick-and-mortar. Now you can watch your farro mafaldine rolled out and cut in the window, take it home, and plate it up in your own kitchen with creamy mushroom ragù, just like Chef Quartaro. Maybe not exactly like him. Before he led pasta programs at the Bristol, Balena, and Formento’s, he paid his dues in the San Francisco pasta palace A16, so you might have a bit to learn.
