Find
The Best Prices & Selections of Italian Pasta Bowls
Searching for pasta bowls takes time and patience... unless
you go to the right place.
In fact, you may or may not have a specific
kind of bowl in mind. This is when it is helpful to find
one place that offers a wide variety of selections.
I have found that Amazon has a wonderful
selection of beautiful pasta bowls. From hand painted bowls
imported from Italy, such as the one shown on the left,
to other manufactuers which produce equally stunning patterns
and designs.
Pasta bowls can range from $10 up past
$100. Generally, the more unique hand painted ones will
cost more, but it also depends on the company.
Thanks to Amazon
and their numerous suppliers, you can view nearly every
possible type of pasta bowl or pasta bowl set right on their
website.
True, there are other websites
which sell pasta bowls. But often they have limited selections,
or only display what they think you are looking
for.
Made and manufactured in Italy:
These are made in Italy. Most of these will
be hand painted. This means that an actual
artisan worked on your specific bowl. It
was hand crafted from start to finish. There
is no greater way to bring Italy into your
own home.
Classic country styles: Brands
like Mikassa come to mind, with their classic
white bowls which will naturally match any
kitchen design.
Modern and sleek bold colors:
Emile Henry is a perfect example for this
category. They offer white, blue, red, green
- you name it.
Individual bowls: You do not
have to buy a set. You can buy them individually.
Some companies will set entire sets, while
others do not. I have found most of the
hand painted bowls are sold individually.
Pasta
You use them in a variety of ways. Pasta being
the most obvious - long such as spaghetti or short
- it doesn't matter. If using a large serving
bowl, you simply place a little bit of sauce on
the bottom of the bowl then add in the pasta.
Give a good toss to coat evenly. This keeps the
pasta from becoming one sticky mess when it comes
time to serve.
Soups
Alternatively, you can use it as you would a soup
bowl. Perfect for minestrone or even Italian wedding
soup (both of which I have recipes for in my recipe
box page). Don't forget to serve with some fresh
Artisan bread!
Salads
The list doesn't stop there. Don't forget your
salads. By the way, if looking to spruce up a
boring green leaf salad, rub the sides of the
bowl with some fresh garlic and then top the salad
with freshly grated Italian cheese (Romano or
Parmesan). Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar
and you are all set!
Where are the Best Prices?
I have found Amazon to have the
best selection and prices online best
prices online.
Buon Appetito!
