As LaChewla's boyfriend, I must say her sauce is pretty good, and is in biking distance. In fact she has indoor bike parking.
I do not get to restaurants (beyond their bar at least) very often, so I do not know any that serve sauce. Other than TAT, I can't even think of any Italian restaurants in Cols. other than Basi but I have never been there.
I just realized that you are asking about pasta, not sauce. Hehe.
Well I don't know. I like the private selection pasta they sell at the Weinland Park Kroger's. Bad bike parking though.

Not quite "Grandma Style" but if you're looking for a place centrally located...

Don't know, about fresh Grandma-style stuff.
But the difference between fresh and dried can be, I think, exaggerated: there are some great dried pastas out there. Rustichella d'Abruzzo is the stuff available in the North Market, also at Tasi and the former Wild Oats. Del Mondo carries Rummo, which is excellent as well.
More details here, for the pasta-curious.... :)

I like Tony's. All of their fettuccine is homemade.

The Florentine on W Broad makes delicious, thick, homemade spaghetti. Order it with meatballs and then slip into a food-coma. (It's also excellent cold and without sauce for a snack.... the perks of having dated the son of the owner :)). It's super, um, family style. (You kind expect the west side mob to walk in) so don't go if you're looking for upscale/ fine dining...

I think Jimmy Corova is selling the TAT. Kahiki was the coolest place to eat as well.

I've made homemade lasagna with a coworker. We took whole, uncracked wheat - ground it into a find powder. Then made dough and pressed it through a noodle press gadget. We also made the ricotta and monzarella cheeses etc.
It was an all afternoon type project.
The end product was amazing.
Back home in NY I was surround by mom and pops Italian places. I miss it.

Librarian's right, Florentine's spaghetti and meatballs is great. My favorite thing there is eggplant Veronese.

I feel your pain. It's the only thing about New Jersey that I really really miss. the 80 page leather-bound menu... that's the same at every restaurant...
