We consider ourselves awfully lucky to be in the same community as Nan Kohler's Grist & Toll. This local flour mill offers incredible grains for baking, as well as this unbelievable whole-grain polenta. (Even we don't eat pasta every day). From homey porridge to knock-your-socks-off polenta cake appetizers, the rich corn flavor of this polenta is unmistakable. And chefs agree! Bruce Kalman from Union had this as one of his secret weapons on Top Chef! It's made using Oaxacan grown heirloom corn from the folks at masienda.

Pasta Cooking Tips
- Use a large enough pot so your pasta doesn't stick together.
- Salt your water aggressively. Not sure how much? Taste it! We use about a tablespoon of Diamond Crystal Kosher salt per quart of water.
- Remove your pasta from the water before it's totally al dente and SAVE YOUR PASTA WATER!
- Fresh pasta cooks in about 2 minutes. Dried pasta takes 6 minutes or more.
- Finish your pasta in your sauce with a ladleful of pasta water.
