I’m working on a post about homemade pasta that will appear soon — well, maybe sometime this week if I get around to it.

Napa cabbage.
Carrots.
Cardoons.

Chile oils.
Walnuts.
Brussels sprouts.
Early Girl tomatoes.
Eggplant.
Beets.
Carrots.
French breakfast radishes.
Romano beans.
Carrots.
Cardoons. Virtually unknown in the U.S., they’re a hallmark of Italian cuisine.
Shrubs. They’re sweetened vinegar-based syrups often used in mixed drinks.

Autumn squashes.
Salad greens.
Baby corn.

Fennel, one of my favorite winter vegetables.
Spring onions.
Icicle radishes.
Horseradish roots. Their appearance at the market means that winter isn’t far behind.
Cauliflower.
Greens.
Beans.

The notion of making homemade pasta sounds lovely.
I suppose homemade pasta beats store bought stuff by a country mile?

It depends on what it is you’re going to make. There are some sauces for which dried pasta is preferred over fresh, like for instance, a puttanesca.
