Samantha Kennedy, Owner of SUNNYSIDE PASTA

At SUNNYSIDE PASTA, Samantha Kennedy transforms the act of making fresh, homemade pasta into an art form. A Connecticut native with a profound love for culinary traditions, Samantha discovered her passion for pasta-making as a child, rolling dough with her family every Christmas Eve. “Every year, we’d make pounds of fresh pasta for dinner,” she recalls fondly. That cherished tradition sparked a lifelong devotion to food that ultimately shaped her career path.

After earning a degree in culinary arts from Johnson & Wales University, Samantha turned her passion into a thriving business. She sells her artisanal pasta at the Tiverton Farmers Market, where her offerings are a local favorite. She also leads hands-on pasta-making workshops at Hope & Main in Warren, teaching participants how to craft their own dishes. “There’s nothing more rewarding than presenting a bowl of fresh pasta to a hungry participant,” she says with enthusiasm.

In her classes, Samantha inspires students to embrace the craft of pasta-making. “Once you try fresh pasta, you’ll never go back to boxed,” she promises. For Samantha, passion, like pasta, is best when shared.
