@fogliapasta From Crab Ravioli to Culinary Dream: Foglia Pastaās Delicious Journey
It all started with a Dungeness crab, a newborn, and a father-in-lawās wise words. Chef Jeremy Baumgartner, a seasoned veteran with 30 years in the culinary world, was looking for a side hustle while his wife Stephanie cared for their new baby. Inspiration struck in the form of homemade crab ravioli made with his father-in-lawās fresh catch.
Foglia Pasta was born, not in a fancy kitchen, but in a humble 10x10 space with a dream.
The word āFogliaā meaning āleafā in Italian is used by pasta makers to describe a sheet or āleafā of pasta.
Chef Jeremy, fueled by passion and a tax return, poured his heart into crafting colorful raviolis using natural dyes from juiced beets, blueberries, turmeric and kale. After his first farmers market in March of 2022, Foglia was an instant hit in Portland, OR.
Today, Foglia Pasta is a thriving testament to the power of passion and hard work. Chef Jeremyās dedication shines through in his 12 vibrant dough colors, each inspired by the seasonās freshest ingredients. Heās a master of his craft, constantly learning and experimenting, with every book on pasta at his fingertips. Foglias ravioli are supercharged with flax seed, hemp seed, chia seed, spirulina, acerola, green tea, local bee pollen, turmeric, local walnut/hazelnut, cocoa, beets and fresh greens.
From dungeness crab and truffle to goat cheese and brisket the flavors at Foglia Pasta are as diverse as they are delicious.
I was fortunate to witness the magic firsthand as Chef Jeremy handcrafts 250 boxes of ravioli in just four days, and they sell out every weekend.
Must try pasta sauces: lemon garlic Parmesan and hazelnut basil pesto.

Ā Ā Ā Read moreI enjoy cooking but some days I want a break. Itās hard to find a product these days that isnāt made with additives or preservatives. Iām always impressed by the freshness and the high quality ingredients from Foglia. Chef Jeremy sources local ingredients and EVERYTHING is all natural and handmade. Each ravioli looks like a work of art and the meatballs are better than any restaurant. Add the different homemade sauces & youāll get a delicious dinner for your family without the work. They keep adding new seasonal flavors and products so itās best to check Instagram...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreWe purchased a container of their Boscaila sauce at the Lake Oswego farmers market. I have a gluten allergy and couldnāt have their ravioli, but all their sauces are gluten free. The container isnāt huge, and it was $15, so I was a tiny bit skeptical. However, that container perfectly coated about 1 and 1/4 boxes of pasta, and was as delicious as any of the local Italian restaurants Iāve been to. We easily fed 5 people with it. I canāt wait until next week, so that we can try more of them. HIGHLY...
