Our hand-extruded Bigoli is a thick, round egg pasta crafted using traditional techniques—entirely by hand, without modern machinery. Made from our very own farm-fresh chicken eggs and locally milled flour, this pasta has a rich, golden color and a satisfyingly chewy texture. Its slightly rough surface, created through the extrusion process, allows it to cling beautifully to sauces, making it a perfect choice for bold, rustic dishes. Our "all'uovo" pastas are enjoyed in restaurants and homes across Appalachia!
Your Bigoli is carefully packaged and shipped fresh. It arrives in a protective bag to maintain its texture and quality during transit. The fresh pasta is pre portioned and kept in a cold state to preserve the amazing texture.
Upon arrival store your fresh bigoli in the freezer and upon use, add from freezer to boiling water. It may sound strange but this is the optimal way to preserve and enjoy freshly made pasta without sacrificing the texture and taste.
Cook Bigoli in well-salted boiling water until al dente (around 5 minutes if fresh), then pair it with sauces that complement its hearty texture. Traditionally, Bigoli shines in dishes like duck ragù (Bigoli all’Anatra), anchovy and onion sauce (Bigoli in Salsa), or simple yet flavorful butter and sage preparations. Thanks to its firm bite and rich egg content, it also works beautifully in creamy or meat-based sauces.
I am a West Virginian pastaio, dedicated to the craft of traditional pasta-making without modern machinery or electrical appliances. At Greenbrier Maccheroni Co., every batch of all’uovo pasta is made entirely by hand or with manual equipment, just as it has been done for centuries. We deliver our pastas fresh or air-dry them using time-honored Italian techniques.
Our flours are farmed and milled within 20 miles of our production site, including some of the finest buckwheat flour for traditional Alpine pastas like pizzoccheri and buckwheat maltagliati. We raise our own Blackstar and Golden Laced Wine Dot chickens for eggs and source duck eggs from a neighboring farm to create our rich, golden duck egg pastas.
We also celebrate Appalachian flavors by harvesting, producing, and sustainably sourcing wild ingredients like ramps (wild leeks), morel mushrooms, and chicken of the woods mushrooms. For a sweet finish, we offer dried wild blueberries, raw honey, and maple syrup—bringing the best of our region to your table.
