About this listen
Food 101, now in its sixth season, spotlights Italian pasta and the craft, heritage, and technique that turned simple ingredients into one of the world’s defining culinary traditions. This episode walks listeners through the structural foundations of pasta making—from durum wheat and semolina to hydration, shaping, and the chemistry of starch release that creates sauce adhesion. The conversation explores regional identity, showing how recipes evolved according to geography, agriculture, and culture, giving rise to iconic preparations that balance texture, aroma, and flavor architecture. Practical guidance is offered on pairing shapes with sauces, controlling salinity, and achieving precise doneness to elevate everyday cooking into disciplined culinary execution. It is a celebration of tradition, engineering, and pleasure on a plate.
