Twirly. Swirly. Slurpy. 🍝❤️

There is something magical about watching a little one discover pasta. No rules. No perfect table manners. Just wide eyes, big smiles, and that determination to get every last piece from fork to mouth.

Looking back at these photos of our boys, we’re reminded that pasta has always been more than dinner. It’s laughter around the table, messy faces, stories shared, and memories that last long after the plates are empty.

At PastaBar, that’s why we do what we do. We make pasta the traditional way because we believe food should bring people together—whether you’re 2 or 92.

Here’s to the twirly twirly, the spaghetti smiles, and raising another generation that knows great pasta is meant to be enjoyed.

🍝 What’s your favorite pasta memory?

🌿 The wait is over…our first Middlebury Farm basil pesto of the season is being made this afternoon!

This morning, fresh organic basil was hand-picked at Middlebury Farm just hours before making its way into our pesto. During basil season, Middlebury grows Organic, Non-GMO Nufar basil exclusively for us. Nufar is a Genovese-style basil known for its large, intensely aromatic leaves and exceptional flavor—making it the perfect basil for a truly fresh pesto. (Milmont)

Like everything we make, our pesto is built around simple, quality ingredients.

🌱 Organic Middlebury Farm basil
🫒 Traceable extra virgin olive oil
🧀 Pecorino Romano
🧄 Fresh garlic
🍋 Lemon juice
🧂 Kosher salt
🎃 Pepitas (the tender inside of pumpkin seeds)

Why pepitas? They give our pesto a rich, creamy texture while adding plant-based protein, healthy fats, magnesium, zinc, and iron. They’re also what makes our pesto completely nut free—no pine nuts, no fillers, no preservatives, and nothing artificial. Just real food with ingredients you can recognize. (WebMD)

Pesto isn’t just for pasta. Toss it with grilled vegetables, spread it on sandwiches, swirl it into soups, use it as a dip, or simply smear it on warm crusty bread.

Find our first batch of the season this weekend:

Saturday: Palatine • Woodstock • Park Ridge • Batavia • Kenosha

Sunday: Mount Prospect • The Dole (Crystal Lake)

Summer only lasts so long. 🌿

🚨 GARLIC SCAPE PESTO IS BACK… and if you know, you KNOW. 🌱🧄

Every year I plant 800+ heads of garlic… and that’s just for our family’s kitchen! 😳

With that much garlic comes mountains of garlic scapes. For a few short weeks each year, we turn those beautiful curly green shoots into one of our most anticipated seasonal favorites: Garlic Scape Pesto.

We use scapes from our own garden and from our incredible local farmer friends because when scape season arrives, we go all in.

It’s bright, fresh, garlicky (without the bite of raw garlic), and absolutely incredible tossed with pasta, spread on sandwiches, spooned over grilled vegetables, or slathered on warm bread. But don’t wait… garlic scape season only lasts a few weeks each year.

🌿 Find us this week:

📍 Wednesday
• Edgeview Market – Rockford

📍 Saturday
• Palatine
• Batavia
• Woodstock
• Kenosha
• Park Ridge

📍 Sunday
• Mount Prospect

✨ The Dole Market returns July 12!

Who else waits all year for garlic scape season? 🙋‍♀️🧄
