Laurie Boucher calls herself a Pastapreneur, but I call her the Pasta Queen. Laurie's dedication to all things pasta on her Instagram account, @BaltimoreHomeCook, will leave you not only hungry, but ready to make your own pasta!

A former attorney, Laurie has jumped into pasta-making full steam ahead. You can find her delicious hand-formed pasta at Cafe Campli in Baltimore or her Sardinian pasta tools and pasta art on her Etsy page, PastaArt.
