Sabatino's pasta is made fresh, in house, every day.

Fazzini's

IMHO (I think we had that defined recently), a really good commercial pasta (DeCecco is our family favorite) is better than homemade ... with the exception of lasagna. I always make my own for lasagna, because no commercial pasta is thin enough, and the secret to good lasagna is to make the layers thin enough that you can't tell you're biting through a pasta layer. I have found that I can make a batch, run it through my rollers, boil it, and then layer half over wax paper, wrap and freeze it. Two lasagnas out of one batch. The recipe that works best for me is from Mario Batalli from Gourmet Magazine about two years ago.

Aida Bistro in Columbia. I haven't tried, but at least on Monday nights they feature homemade pasta (and maybe all the time).

La Tavola in Little Italy. Their pasta is nice and chewy- just like a fresh homemade pasta should be.

I had some mushroom and cheese pasta there once before. WAAAY too much sauce, but the noodles were divine. Good gnocchi as well.

Pazza Luna in Locust Point.

Try B Bistro (Bolton Hill) and Cingiale (Harbor East) for great homemade pasta dishes

MD Canon when you return home from your travels, do you think you could post your recipe? I've had very poor luck with homemade pasta (and bread too, but that's a different dough problem).

From what I understand (and I'm not an expert), it's wrong to consider homemade/housemade pasta better than commercial pasta or vice versa. They're different things that are best for different uses.

DCdiva, what in the name of Owl Meat Jerky is too much sauce? Is it more than you can carry home in large tubs in the trunk of your car? Is it more than you can afford to have shipped to your home via common freight or UPS?
I didn't think there was such a thing as too much sauce.
Unless it's apple sauce.
OK, maybe you're talking about apple sauce.
I'll shut up now.
Apple sauce.
Sheesh.

Jl, maybe you should think of it more like not enough pasta for the amount of sauce. :-)

On the subject of sauce and what is too much.....

There is no such thing as too much sauce.

I want 30% pasta and 70% sauce.

And it's my life mission to find a pizza place around here that acutally LISTENS when I say extra sauce. More times than not, places hear "extra" and immediately add more cheese. I've even said "extra sauce, light cheese". I always have to add my own when I get it home. Very frustrating. The only places that get it right are Lombardi's and John's and they are both in NYC.

Squire's in Dundalk has fabulous homemade spaghetti (it's called thin macaroni" on their menu).

La Tavola's homemade pasta is the best in my humble opinion. Unlike other Little Italy restaurants, it is not a toss away side item with every entree. We get an order for the table with La Tavola's wonderful fresh marinara sauce and split it.

"Too much sauce" is that amount which causes the pasta dish to wind up as one of the Top 10 deadly first date foods.

Anybody know where I can buy fresh pasta to cook at home? In Belvedere Square's original incarnation, one of the vendors sold fresh pasta sheets. I'd love to be able to do that again. Thanx, y'all.

Too much sauce means there was so much thick, rich, cheese sauce that the noodles could not possibly hold it, and there was still a plateful of gooey cheese sauce when i was done.

But yes, I probably agree that it was too little delicious pasta!

Dottie, I'd be surprised if Fresh Market or Whole Foods or Wegmans didn't have fresh pasta. I've never thought to look for it really because (embarrasing confession) I really like boxed pasta. And, as it sounds like others do also, I tend to drown my pasta in so much sauce I don't really appreciate much of a flavor - more of a texture thing.
Oh - and just thought that DiPasquales probably has fresh pasta too. Probably that Italian Market on Loch Raven who's name escapes me has it too.

that Italian Market on Loch Raven who's name escapes me

Pastore's, perhaps?

Thanks, Hal! As a woman "of a certain age" names (and words) just don't come to mind like they should! Help is always appreciated!

Last time I was there Fazzini's sold their homemade pasta and sauce.

Wegman's does have fresh pasta though how fresh is questionable. They have just started selling pasta sheets.

Why is my name being used in vain?

Sabatino's? Really?

You have to be careful with homemade pasta. I know that dozens, if not hundreds or restaurants serve homemade pasta that is really made by Casa DiPasta.
