Update: After returning from Puglia this summer, I had yet to find strachiatella in any grocery stores in Switzerland. But lucky me, I stumbled across some in Geneva last weekend and pistachio pasta would have to happen.

The Gentleman kept wishing for a pasta making class for us to take, so after some research, we settled on the well-reviewed “Everyone at the Table” located in Altamura.
