Action-adventure, comedy and family values are the main and delectable ingredients of “THE PASTA FAMILY ALL-AGES ILLUSTRATED ADVENTURES” – a series of 23 graphic novels starring a family made of macaroni!  Join our heroine, Annaleenie, a little girl with a GIANT appetite for adventure, and her family and friends, as life’s challenges are met with warmth, wit, and way-out action!  The excitement of Marvel Comics meets the charm of “Peanuts” – and Family Entertainment will NEVER be the same! 

A home-grown product of Newark, New Jersey’s Italian-American community, “THE PASTA FAMILY” was created in 2005 by then 77-year-old mother of five, Marguerite Ciccolini.  With her passing in 2011, her son Michael has continued the series in the spirit and tradition of the finest values inherent in Italian-American upbringing and heritage – and expanded the family into other media, with an animated adaptation of the holiday book “A Very, Very Pasta Family Christmas!”

Filled with explosive visuals, vibrant color and joyful energy, “THE PASTA FAMILY” books are a sumptuous and delicious experience to delight the whole family.

“A charming journey into awareness and love, The Pasta Family’s colorful characters and inviting illustrations bring a message of hope, forgiveness and “old school” Italian-American values to all.” – The Italian Tribune

“OH MY GOSH…this book is so cute!  My daughter loved it and as an adult I laughed out loud at the knowing and self-aware humor!” – The Jolly Blogger
