Summary
If there's one dish that conjures up Italy in a bite, it is pasta. This most loved food has thousands of variations and is steeped in tradition. In this episode, we meet Chiara, who along with her grandmother (Nonna) Nerina, are bringing the pasta dishes of their village to the people of the world on Nonna Live their online cooking school.
Chiara shares why pasta is so important to Italians - not only because it is delicious, nurturing food. Pasta brings people together to live, love, sing and share stories and perhaps deliver a little homegrown therapy along the way.
