Your Pasta Guy — Not the Pasta Maker
A Kenosha distributor with strong opinions about dinner.
Pappa Pasta Lovers and Curzio Caravati – Kufi Farm do not make the pasta. Pappardelles' Pasta has been making it by hand in Denver, Colorado since 1984. What Curzio does — as the local distributor in Kenosha, Wisconsin — is bring that one product here, because he was tired of watching good neighbors eat badly on a Tuesday.
He tastes every Pappardelles' flavor he carries, keeps gluten-free, low-carb and specialty-grain cuts on the table, and sells face to face so he can tell you exactly what to do with the bag you're holding.

The Fine Art of Pasta
Why it costs more,
and why it's worth it.
Pappardelles' Pasta makes it in Denver in batches of 100 pounds or less, by hand, following traditional Italian methods — the same way since 1984. Three things separate it from what's on the shelf:
Pure durum semolina
Not all-purpose, not a blend. The hardest wheat there is — sourced from the same supplier since 1984 — is what gives pasta its amber color, nutty flavor, and the backbone to stay firm in the pot.
Bronze dies, not Teflon
Dough labors through bronze instead of zipping through Teflon. The extra effort leaves a coarse, chalky surface that grabs sauce — and feels luxurious rather than slick on the tongue.
Dried at 95°, not 190°
Commercial lines blast pasta dry in minutes, not hours. This is coaxed dry over two to four days in rooms built to mimic a Mediterranean breeze — which is how the flavor and nutrition stay in the noodle.
Where to Buy
Catch him at the market.
No online checkout — Curzio sells face to face, in person at Kenosha Public Market, some Saturdays Summer and Winter. Occasionally at different locations in Kenosha or Racine: Follow his Facebook group to find out, and delivery if you ask.
