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.

Cookbook Chronicles 🍳

This month has been something else. Mother Sauce by Lucinda Scala Quinn has taken over our kitchens in the best way possible — and we are here for every single minute of it.

Utica Riggies, Bucatini with Sausage Ragù, Chicken Parmesan Meatballs, Chicken Oreganata, Stuffed Artichokes, Swordfish Kababs, Eggplant Romano Carolina... our members have been COOKING. And not just following recipes — they’ve been making them their own. Adjusting flavors, learning their preferences, getting comfortable with new processes, and discovering techniques they never knew they’d love. That kind of growth is exactly what this club is all about.

And we cannot wait for our live virtual event with Lucinda Scala Quinn Lucinda herself (tonight!) — because reading the author’s words is one thing, but talking *with* the author? That’s something special.

As we wrap up June and get ready to dive into Autentico for our July–August cohort, we just have to say: thank you. To every member who cooks, shares, cheers each other on, and shows up with such curiosity and heart — you are what makes the qb Cookbook Club so worth it.

qb Cucina x Spice Witch 🌶

Imbutini meets Chili Crisp Oil — we couldn’t think of a more perfect pairing.

Here’s the thing about imbutini: it’s a new pasta shape. Like, genuinely new. In 2014, a nurse and pasta maker in Bologna named Flavia Valentini picked up an obscure tool at a flea market and started playing. The result? Little funnel-shaped pasta — imbutini means “little funnels” — that look remarkably like witch hats and capture sauce inside every single bite.

Witch hats. Spice Witch. It was fate.

We are so proud to be based in Asheville, NC. Yes, we live and breathe Italian pasta culture, but being rooted here means we also get to celebrate the incredible food community right in our backyard. And Spice Witch is exactly the kind of neighbor we love to cook with.

Head to Spice Witch- Chili Oil & Chili Crisp to get your hands on her Chili Crisp Oil — trust us, you need it.
