Valicenti Pasta Farm Is Making Some Of The Freshest Pasta In New Hampshire

When I think of comfort food, fresh, homemade pasta is way up there at the top of the list. Made with the right ingredients and combined with the perfect sauce, a pasta meal is as satisfying as it is delicious. While the earliest roots of pasta come from China, Italy is the country with which it's been most associated. But you don't have to travel to either country for it; you can find some of the freshest pasta in New Hampshire at Valicenti Pasta Farm in Hollis.

Editor's Note: Valicenti Pasta Farm has sadly closed its doors after 15 amazing years in business. 

Valicenti Pasta Farm in Hollis creates beautiful fresh pasta, unique flavors of ravioli, small-batch sauces, and more. Or maybe that should be amore!

The farm is the creation of David Valicenti, who first started cooking as a young boy and eventually turned his love of food into a career as a chef.

After moving back to Hollis, David Valicenti began crafting his own homemade tomato sauce from crops that he grew behind his family's home. The sauce quickly became a hit at regional farmer's markets.

The farm organically grows its ingredients — everything from tomatoes to eggplant, squash, and sweet potatoes — in its greenhouse and on its 10 acres of fields.

All items are made and packaged at Valicenti Pasta Farm's red barn in Hollis. Valicenti also partners with other small, local farms, dairies, and producers to procure ingredients that aren't grown on the premises.

You won't find any artificial ingredients in this pasta. Everything is made in small batches with only real ingredients and no preservatives or hormones.

The farm also produces a selection of dairy-free, gluten-free, nut-free, and vegetarian pastas for those with specific dietary restrictions or preferences.

Valicenti Pasta Farm's products are available to order online, at local farmer's markets, or directly at the farm.
