We Speak Pasta: The kitchen is the heart of the name and where Parla began. Family and friends for 30 years have enjoyed traditional recipes in our home and in each other's company. There is so much joy in pasta! People naturally gravitate to the kitchen, sitting, talking, hugging the cook, stealing a bite - and sharing their lives. At Parla, pasta is our language and we use it to express our care for purity and Italian traditions. We handcraft and produce our recipes in small batches for quality and freshness. We are excited that you have decided to bring Parla into your home and kitchen so you can experience the timeless joy of pasta. - Rick and Simone Drake. Our Quattro Formaggi (Four cheese) Manicotti are made the traditional Italian way: hand-rolling fresh pasta and filling with a creamy blend of ricotta, Parmesan, Romano and fresh mozzarella.
