We love to host! Well… we hate that we love to host but in the most loving way. Ya know? April's theme was Dinner in Italy and I had the pleasure of teaching all my favorite people how to roll out pasta by hand - just like my nana taught me.

For Cooking
Everything we used for the mixing, rolling and cooking. Including all the appetizer needs.
Everyone got their own person trendy apron at their stations, complete with a Conversation Card.
Adjustable Aprons with 2 Pockets
Every couples' station had pre measured ingredients. For the bigger bulk, like flour, we used these trusty bowls!
Pyrex Smart Essentials 3-Pack Mixing Bowl Set
These little guys were great for holding the small ingredients like the eggs and pre portioned infused oil!
Small Glass Cooking Bowls - Set of 6
Our boards are handmade by my uncle but these are the next best thing! Holds a ton of cheeses - even though there is never enough.
Long Charcuterie Tray for Cheese & Meat
I think these are the best find I've ever made in my entire life. That's all I have to say about these.
The CUTEST Spreaders for Butter & Jam
One of the most authentic pasta crankers you can find on the market. This one attaches directly to your countertop.
Italy Atlas 150 Classic Manual Pasta Maker Machine
Another option for your Kitchen Aid. We had both going at the same time with our group of 8.
KitchenAid Mixer Attachment Pasta Roller & Cutter
The rack to easily hang everyone's batch of pasta and keep track of who's is who's!
Pasta Drying Rack, 360° Rotation
These kept the flow of too many hands cooking to a minimum! Just drop in the fresh pasta, cook 3-5 minutes, pull out your basket and drop it in your bowl!
Stainless Steel Pasta Strainer
The superior flour choice for the perfect bite!
Caputo Semolina Flour
For the Cocktails
For these bad boys, all you need is equal part liquor and sparking water. You can substitute the sparkling for champagne but I'm not a fan so the choice is yours!
The base of the cocktail. Pronounced “a-pear-a-teef”. You're welcome!
Vincenzi Americano Orange Aperitif
Other half of the cocktail. Mandarin Orange really makes it that much more refreshing.
Mandarin Orange Sparkling Water, Trader Joe's
Use this as a substitution for the sparking if you prefer champagne!
Angel Bomon Orange Extra Brut
Durable cocktail glasses that can honestly be used for every day use OR your next gathering!
Cocktail Drinking Glasses
And just because I'm always extra and details are everything, we serve our drinks on a marble slab.
Black Marble Serving Board
For the Decor
Can't forget to immerse your guests completely!
Pleasantly surprised at this table runner! The colors are so beautiful.
Blue Lemon Iris Summer Table Runner
Perfectly matched centerpieces for the table.
Artificial Lemons Branches
Beautiful floral napkins to match!
Blue & White Disposable Napkins
Cheap but so effective - and look pretty upscale!
Gold Napkin Rings
Still my tried and true item for any gatherings! These guys always come out to play.
Vintage Round Charger for Dinner Plates
I use these underneath the plastic chargers for an elevated look!
