For more than 25 years, Diane Santillie has been making fettuccine, linguine and pappardelle for sale:
Diane made her first batches in her own kitchen. She took it to Ariel’s restaurant in Richland, Washington, where she worked at the time. The gourmet pastas sold out as fast as Diane could make it, and an artisan business was born.
You can buy the pasta and sauces online, to enjoy at home or give as gifts.
