About Forchetta
Artisan Pasta, Made in Washington
Forchetta Pasta was born from a simple belief: great pasta makes great meals. We’re a Washington-based manufacturer using bronze dies and traditional Italian techniques to craft fresh pasta that elevates every plate.
Our Story
From Kitchen to Production
Walk into any great Italian kitchen and you’ll find fresh pasta—extruded through bronze dies, cut, and cooked within hours. That’s the experience we wanted to bring to Washington’s restaurants. Not dried pasta shipped across oceans, but fresh, local pasta crafted with intention using traditional bronze-die machines.
We started small, selling to a handful of restaurants who shared our obsession with quality. Word spread. Chefs told other chefs. Today, we’re proud to supply some of Washington’s most respected kitchens, from intimate neighborhood spots to award-winning fine dining destinations.
Our bronze dies give every shape that signature rough, porous texture that sauces cling to—something you simply can’t achieve with Teflon-coated dies. Combined with premium durum wheat semolina and fresh eggs, the result is pasta with superior flavor, texture, and consistency.
What We Stand For
Craft First
Every decision starts with one question: does this make our pasta better? We never compromise on craft.
Reliability
Your kitchen depends on consistency. We deliver the same quality, on time, every time.
Partnership
We’re not just a supplier—we’re a partner invested in your success. Your wins are our wins.
