They've got some great varieties. Why not the pasta at Trader Joe’s? They’ve got some great varieties.

I actually prefer the canned tomatoes, and often times find them more flavorful and sweet. Cheers! Looks delicious!

Your ragu' looks fabulous. I know what you mean about sausages. I am afraid I have no suggestion for pasta: I only use De Cecco. One day I will try to make strozzapreti. Your ragu’ looks fabulous.

I have recently fallen in love with the Garofalo pasta I can find at Costco. In emergencies I head to Whole Foods for Barilla and De Cecco, paying the premium for the avoidance of the "fluorescent hell"! :) Where pasta is concerned, I find that you either pay a uber-premium for the fancy pasta (like Rustichella), or if you're going for the more affordable ones the only one I trust to keep the "cottura" are Barilla and De Cecco. And now Garofalo... so any other suggestion is more than welcome!

I can't remember the last time I shopped there. Even their "organic" produce tastes like plastic and chemicals. Bleh. Rainbow Grocery sells "regular" pasta, both in packages and in bulk. We usually buy Eduardo's which is a little (OK, maybe a lot?) more than $1.99, but it's locally made and it tastes so much better that you can eat less and not mind! And they also sell other brands that are closer in price to the Safeway brands. Whole Foods does too... and you don't have to suffer through the fluorescent hell of Safeway. I loathe Safeway, too.
