New England Retail Grocery Chain To Sell Carla’s Ready-To-Eat Pasta

A Connecticut ready-to-eat frozen pasta company has inked a distribution deal with 64-store grocery chain Big Y. Carla’s Pasta products to be sold at the Big Y stores include cheese ravioli, cheese tortellini, gluten-free penne and six cheese sacchettini, sold in a microwave bag that took ten years to develop. In addition, the stores will sell microwavable steam bag meals, which include mac and cheese, six-cheese ravioli with marinara, tortellini Alfredo and buttered noodles. The company also makes a line of frozen specialty raviolis in clam shell packaging. Carla’s was founded in 1978 by Carla Squatrito, who emigrated to the U.S. in 1968.
