USA – Pasta Gragnano, the historic Italian pasta maker renowned for its artisanal quality since 1789, has officially entered the frozen food category with the launch of its new line, Ristorante Garofalo.   

This bold move marks the brand’s expansion into the US market, aiming to deliver gourmet Italian meals in minutes without compromising on authenticity or flavor.  

The new frozen pasta collection features five signature dishes crafted from durum wheat semolina and flash-frozen using individual instant quick-freezing technology.   

This method preserves the texture and taste of freshly made pasta while eliminating the need for artificial flavors or preservatives.   

Each dish is ready to serve in just 6 to 7 minutes, offering a convenient solution for busy households craving restaurant-quality Italian cuisine.  

The lineup includes Cheesy Half Rigatoni, an Al dente rigatoni enveloped in a rich, creamy cheese sauce; Spaghettoni all’Arrabbiata, a thick spaghetti topped with a bold, spicy tomato sauce; Giant Fusilli alla Sorrentina, spiraled pasta baked with tomato sauce and melted mozzarella; Fettuccine Alfredo, a classic blend of Parmesan and Alfredo sauce over silky fettuccine; Gnocchi Four-Cheese, a potato gnocchi made with Gorgonzola and a creamy cheese blend.  

The launch reflects Pasta Garofalo’s commitment to innovation while staying true to its heritage.  

“Ristorante Garofalo represents an exciting new chapter for our brand,” said Flavia Garzia, Marketing & New Business Development Manager of Pasta Garofalo.   

“This line brings traditional craftsmanship and genuine Italian flavors to a space where quality is often compromised. Through this expansion, we aim to set a new benchmark for frozen pasta in the US, offering both convenience and exceptional flavor.”  

Available now at select US retailers, the frozen line targets consumers seeking high-quality, quick-prep meals that don’t sacrifice flavor or tradition.   

With growing demand for premium frozen foods, Pasta Gragnano’s entry into this space is expected to resonate with both pasta lovers and health-conscious shoppers.  

This launch aims to bring the traditional quality and artisanal craftsmanship of Gragnano pasta into the convenience-driven frozen food market, catering to contemporary consumer demands for high-quality, ready-to-cook meals.  

By entering the frozen food sector, Pasta Gragnano aligns with growing global consumer trends toward convenient, quality meal options that echo traditional food values.
