OK, so maybe I'm getting lazy in my old age. There's little more satisfying than cranking out some homemade pasta on the old Atlas machine, but I've been having a hard time working up the energy (or clearing the counter space).

So until I come to my senses and realize that I really ought to work off a couple of those calories by turning the crank on the Atlas, where are the best places to get good fresh pasta?

And I'm going to be even more lazy: how about places out in the burbs?

OK, yes, I'd be happy to know about the best spots in the Italian Market too, but sometimes I just can't get down there during business hours, so anybody know any good spots outside the city? Might as well make this general, for everybody's use, so where do we get our favorite FRESH pasta to cook at home, in the greater Philly area?

Talluto's "factory/warehouse" has a retail "outlet" for us folks out in the "burb's...fresh sheets, or cut the way you want it......

530 Foundry Road in the West Norriton Industrial Park.....

Definitely not in the 'burbs, but "Pasta by George" at the Reading Terminal Market does a credible job. I really enjoyed the pumpkin ravioli I picked up a couple of weeks ago.

Wow, that's pretty cool, thanks!

If you can't make it to 9th Street during normal business hours it might be tough to make it to Westmont, NJ (just a little bit further than Moore Bros. and up the street from Water Lily) to the Severino's shop on Haddon Avenue. But they sell their pastas frozen to Whole Foods so you could defrost it, at least. Great selection and very good filled and regular pastas to be had. The shop in Westmont is the best though. They are very nice and will do virtually anything to give a customer what they want.

Rumor has it that a lot of area chefs make their fillings, give the filling to Severino's and have their "homemade" raviolis" made up for them. No one we know would cheat that way, but I've heard tell it does happen...Severino's supplies about 300 restaurants in addition to Whole Foods. It's top notch product. Their cheese and deli items do not suck either.

Georgetti's in Cinnaminson is pretty good. In addition to their pasta, I'm a huge fan of their white clam sauce.
