Giada's Pasta Club (Giadzy)

What's in the box: Each box has bags of Italian dried pasta from Giada's range, either organic or gluten-free depending on which club you join.

Giadzy is the online Italian pantry run by celebrity chef Giada De Laurentiis, and the Pasta Club is its subscription option. It comes in two versions: the standard Giada's Pasta Club and a Gluten-Free Pasta Club. The gluten-free version is useful because many pasta subscriptions ignore shoppers who avoid wheat. The rest of the store shows what kind of pasta to expect. It sells organic shapes such as bucatini, paccheri, pappardelle, casarecce and spaghetti chitarra, plus gluten-free cuts like mezzi rigatoni, stelline, ziti corti rigati and taccole corte. Giada says she has traveled across Italy to find quality products, and the range leans toward shapes most supermarkets don't carry. The site does not say how many bags come in each shipment, how often boxes ship, or what the club costs, so check the product page before you sign up. Beyond pasta, the shop sells meal kits, yellow tomato passata, and olive oil in ceramic jars. Some of those items are only available through a separate membership, which can be confusing if you just want pasta. Overall, this is a well-chosen pantry subscription for home cooks who like trying new shapes. The celebrity name is attached, but the focus stays on the food.
