Roman Garlic Anchovy Salad Dressing


Yes, it’s time for the annual roll out of Peter’s favorite salad dressing. Intended to accompany Puntarelle (Catalan Chicory) or other fresh, bitter greens of choice, this dressing applies to any salad in which you might wish to find anchovies. You might even consider using it as the dipping sauce for artichoke leaves.

3 whole salt packed anchovies, or 3 tbs. anchovy fillets (Salt packed anchovies require more work but taste best. At all costs avoid anchovy paste.)
¼ cup plus 2 tsp. red wine vinegar
2-3 garlic cloves, peeled
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper
Sea Salt (if necessary)
Chicory or salad green of choice

Marinate the whole salt packed anchovies in ¼ cup red wine vinegar for 6 hours. Drain, rinse and de-bone. Or, marinate the anchovy fillets in ¼ cup red wine vinegar for 1-2 hours. Drain and anchovies and pat dry with paper towels.

Regionally raised meats



The quality of Oregon produce is matched by the quality of Oregon meats. The Hawthorne store carries pork from The Basque Ranch and Payne Family Farm (Mollala) and beef from The Basque Ranch and Cascade Natural Meats.

Eat Oregon First

Eat Oregon First


We started working with Eat Oregon First in early 2010, when Scot Laney from The Basque Ranch contacted us about the possibility of using triticale flour to make pasta.

Since then, the program has expanded by combining their own Basque Ranch and Basque Fleet products with those of partner farms and ranches.

Eat Oregon First offers a wide array of Oregon crafted food including beef, poultry, pork, seafood, grains, flour, orchard crops and fruits, honey and produce.

All Eat Oregon First foods are delivered fresh to us (and thus you) from the field or ocean within hours of harvest via their direct express distribution system.

The Hawthorne and Mississippi stores offer beef from Eat Oregon First's own breed of cattle, Cascade Reds.
Kiyokawa Family Orchard Apples and Pears

Kiyokawa Family Orchard Apples and Pears


Hood River Valley's Finest Fruit Since 1911

Kiyokawa Family Orchards has been growing the finest produce available since 1911. The fertile soils found at the base of Mt. Hood and rarified, glacier-fed water sources create a unique growing environment that allows Kiyokawa Farms to offer over 80 distinct varieties of apples, pears, and Asian pears.

The Kiyokawa family takes great pride in promoting local and sustainably grown produce and in utilizing a farm management system that incorporates the best management practices.

Pastaworks is pleased to offer Kiyokawa apples and pears at the Hawthorne and Mississippi locations.
Viridian Farms

Viridian Farms


Beginning with the soon to arrive Spring season, Pastaworks is pleased to feature produce from Viridian Farms.

Owned by Leslie and Manuel Recio, Viridian Farms is located on Grand Island, Oregon -- an inland river island encircled by the Willamette river and Lambert slough. The fertile land has been farmed for generations, and was originally homesteaded by the Rockhill family in the late 1800s.

Unconventional in their approach to row crop farming, Leslie and Manuel draw on their cultural backgrounds, travel experiences, and most importantly, their food experiences to guide their crop selections. The culinary origin of the over 100 unique herbs, edible flowers, fruits, and vegetables they grow are primarily comprised of varieties that are typical of the cuisines of France, Italy, and Spain — with a notable emphasis on Basque ingredients.

Affirming the area's food-shed traditions, Viridian Farms also grow several heirloom and Pacific Northwest crops including berries and orchard fruits.

Watch for weekly updates on what's in season, and a recipe or two highlighting Viridian Farms wonderful produce. Also look for new dishes at Evoe featuring Viridian Farms produce.
