While touring Europe as a stage carpenter
for dance companies, RP's Pasta founder
and own Peter Robertson fell in love --
with the food of Italy. He began studying
the traditional fresh pasta that was a staple
of the Italian food he Loved. And ultimately,
began making authentic fresh pasta on his own.
Robertson later moved to Madison,
Wisconsin, where he gave gifts of his fresh
pasta to friends and family. One of those
friends, proprietor of the award-winning
Pasta Per Tutti restaurant in Madison,
asked Robertson to supply pasta for the
restaurant. Soon after, RP's Pasta Company
opened for business.
Today, RP's Pasta is distributed to dozens
of restaurants and grocery stores in the
upper Midwest. Robertson, the former
student of pasta making, now teaches
classes on the history of pasta, cooking
with pasta and sauces, and the nutritional
benefits of pasta. And he's still in love.
