10 Reasons I Love Being Mrs. Ancora Pasta

In no particular order, here are the top 10 reasons that my role as Mrs. Ancora Pasta works for me...

* I never have to eat store-bought pasta. Or store-bought sauce, for that matter.

* Mr. Ancora Pasta was in charge of making the pasta course at our wedding...I didn't have to lift a finger and could focus on stressing about everything else.

* I get to taste test approximately one thousand different types of pasta paired with multiple sauces prior to sale.

* I often come home from work to find dinner (aka today's taste-test) all ready to be finished and/or heated up.

* We go to Italy. And we go to Italy to eat. Oh, we also see sites; look at beautiful, ancient things; take tours of food-production factories, farms and kitchens. But mostly we eat and spend the majority of our not-eating time figuring out where and what we will eat next.

* A meal at my house is never more than 10 minutes away as we always have pasta and the fixings for a sauce.

* My husband sweeps every day. Mostly because there's always a thin film of flour on the floor from pasta-making, but I don't care why he does it.

* I get to eat the most original combinations of ingredients for stuffed pastas - pretty much whatever my heart desires. Roasted chestnut with mascarpone? Sure. Lobster with hollandaise? Of course! Pea puree and pancetta? Heck yeah.

* I never have to think about what to bring to a pot-luck, family gathering, or office party. Delicious fresh pasta anyone?

* My friends and family won't stop telling me how to-die-for Ancora Pasta (and, by default, its producer) is. And who doesn't love to hear how great their husband is?

  1. And because I do the cooking, I don't have to clean the dishes :-)
