September’s Pasta Club pic is here: tajarin (tah-yah-REEN).

It’s a rich, egg-yolk-heavy pasta from the Langhe region of Piemonte, paired with a creamy wild mushroom sauce that’s about as cozy as pasta gets. That’s the same corner of Italy that gives us Barolo and white truffles, so tajarin is used to keeping good company.

Not a member of the pasta club yet? Spend $125 in our shop before 9/15 and get free access for 30 days. Your membership is set to auto-renew at the end of that free trial, but you can cancel any time.

This is a great opportunity to stock up on flour, grab a pasta bundle you’ve been wanting to try, or explore our new pasta tools, then try out the Pasta Club for a month to see if it’s for you.

Submit your order before 9/12 to join us for this month’s online pasta class—you won’t want to miss it, trust us.

Six years ago today, qb Cucina started with a handful of pasta tools and a whole lot of hope.

Today, thanks to every one of you who’s cooked, kneaded, and shared a meal with us along the way — we’re celebrating six years in business.

If you’ve been curious, now’s the time to jump into this wonderful community of home cooks and see what it’s all about. After your free 30 days, your membership continues automatically at the standard monthly rate unless you cancel — no pressure, cancel anytime, no questions asked.

Tonight is the night!

We’re celebrating 6 years of q.b. Cucina with a FREE pasta class, led by our very own Sarah. We’ll be making a pasta shape that is near and dear to our hearts: garganelli.

Garganelli are ridged tubes, rolled on the diagonal, traditionally made by wrapping squares of fresh egg pasta around a dowel and rolling them over a ridged board — or, most traditionally, a hand-strung pasta comb called a pettine. Their ridges are perfect for catching sauce, and their elegant diagonal roll makes them especially beautiful.

We’ll show you how it’s done tonight. If you haven’t yet, RSVP with the link in our bio!

Look at these beauties 😍 Our Pasta Club members’ corzetti stamps this month — we are OBSESSED.

Because the design sits right on top, corzetti are traditionally tossed in simple oil or butter sauces — nothing to bury the pattern. This month’s recipe: Corzetti with Anchovy Butter Sauce. Not traditional to Liguria, but it leans into the region’s love of fish and fresh herbs, and keeps that stamped design gorgeous on the plate.

Even if you’re not usually an anchovy person, this one might change your mind — and if fish isn’t for you, make your own veggie version!

These are our members’ stamps and plates from this month — proof that everyone’s corzetti come out a little different, and that’s the fun of it.

Want to join in? Enrollment is closed right now, but you can join our waitlist for fall openings. Link in bio to sign up, or DM us with questions.

PS — we have a few corzetti stamp sets left in the qb Cucina shop! More are on the way, but snag yours now before they’re gone.

The Berti Pasta Knife is back in stock — and it’s the kind of tool you buy once and keep forever.

This is the knife we reach for every single time we’re at the pasta board. Made by the artisans at Coltellerie Berti in Scarperia, a small hilltop town just north of Florence, each knife is crafted entirely by hand — by a single craftsman who signs it with their own initials when they’re done. That’s not a detail, that’s a whole philosophy.
Berti has been making knives since 1895, following the same ancient techniques, four generations deep. The result is everything you want at the pasta board: a beautiful cream handle, a full tang, and a straight-edged stainless steel blade that glides through delicate pasta sheets without tearing.

👉 Grab yours before they’re gone — link in bio.

It’s only June, but we’re already making room for fall 🍂

Before our new arrivals get here, we’re clearing space — and that means up to 25% off a selection of kitchen accessories and cookbooks through July 6.

A few highlights:

The Modoro Pasta Apron & Tea Towel Set — handmade in Emilia-Romagna by Cristina Caati, who designs, illustrates, and sews everything herself. The pasta illustration is hand-drawn, printed on Italian fabric, and feels like it came home in a suitcase from Bologna.

Our pasta candles — artichoke, farfalle, fusilli, and rigatoni. Genuinely one of the most delightful gifts for the Italian food lover in your life (or yourself).

Select cookbooks — perfect if you’ve been meaning to add to the shelf before fall cooking season begins. These are books that were previously featured in our Italian cookbook club, so you know they’re good!

No code needed. Prices update automatically at checkout. Sale runs through July 6, or while supplies last.
