S01E05 - Jesse Albertini and Sfoglina

November 17, 2020 • Jesse Albertini • Season 1 • Episode 5

Born of the pandemic season and cultivated as a project to support the Black Lives Matter movement, Jesse Albertini’s creation Sfoglina (@sfoglinadenver) introduces handmade pastas to the community featuring wheat berries grown in the plains of Colorado and Utah.

Sfoglina (meaning a woman who rolls and spreads dough pasta) features several textures and shapes of pasta while experimenting with natural additives such as beets (check out the beautiful beet fusilli)! The heartiness of the pasta has a flavor of its own, but you should browse Jesse’s blog at https://sfoglinadenver.com/blogs/news which provides great recipes for her pastas that enhance the already-bold Italian pastime.

But the conversation is much more than just pasta. We talk about her donations to charity, her support system with her family and with other collaborateurs (is that a word?), and her life as a new mom. Thanks for listening to episode 5 of the Big Locals Podcast (@biglocalspodcast)!
