Claire takes listeners into the sacred art of handmade pasta, breaking down the alchemy of transforming flour, eggs, water, and skill into silky perfection.

Claire explores traditional techniques passed down through generations, the sensory feedback that guides master pasta makers, and how regional variations reflect local ingredients and climate. From mixing ratios to drying methods, listeners learn why the best pasta makers work by feel rather than measurements.
