Val handcrafting fresh pasta from Italian organic grains Fresh saffron and spinach pasta varieties by Val

Made by Hand.
Delivered with Heart.

There’s a moment right after fresh pasta is made — still warm, impossibly silky, alive with flavor — that supermarket pasta will never capture. That moment is what Pasta by Val is all about.

Every strand, every sheet, every ravioli is crafted by hand using organic grains sourced from Italian mills, combined with garden-fresh infusions like black garlic, saffron, lemon thyme, and beet. The result is pasta the way it’s meant to be eaten: within 24 hours of making.

You’ll find Val at Chicago’s best farmers markets, where neighbors, chefs, and food lovers have been lining up for the pasta that changed how they cook at home.
