From the book Pasta: The Spirit and Craft of Italy's Greatest Food by Missy Robbins and Talia Baiocchi
For chef Missy Robbins, making pasta by hand is her "happy place."

We’re celebrating the craft of pasta making this week on Seasoned. We talk with chef Missy Robbins about her new book, Pasta: The Spirit and Craft of Italy’s Greatest Food with Recipes. And, we visit the New England Pasta Company in Avon, an inclusive workplace where the motto is “everyone belongs.” Plus, we talk with the chef who became famous on TikTok for making fresh pasta dough by hand in unexpected places. His videos are mesmerizing.

This show was produced by Robyn Doyon-Aitken and Catie Talarski.
