Oh, and you're also going to learn how to make pasta from scratch!

This discussion is about more than just slurping up your favorite noodle dish—it’s about the fascinating connections between food, culture, and history. Nico will guide you through how noodles and pasta have evolved, the cultural shifts behind their ingredients, and the controversies that have bubbled up over the centuries.
