Nadia Catarina Munno is best known to her 10 million social-media followers as [The Pasta Queen](https://www.instagram.com/the%5Fpastaqueen/?hl=en&ref=cascadepbs.org), a glamorous, dramatic Italian who crumples her face in ecstasy and throws her fork across the room after slurping up a sauce-slicked noodle. Cooking traditional pasta dishes in her Florida kitchen has earned Nadia two bestselling cookbooks and a new Amazon Prime series, [*The Pasta Queen.*](https://www.amazon.com/The-Pasta-Queen-S1/dp/B0D1KWJ1C2?ref=cascadepbs.org)

Nadia says she sees a lot of Americans committing unforgivable pasta-cooking crimes, so she created The 10 Commandments of Pasta, a list she shares with [host Rachel Belle ](https://www.instagram.com/hellorachelbelle/?hl=en&ref=cascadepbs.org)along with a story about what she ate immediately after giving birth to her third daughter.

Nadia comes from a long line of farmers and pasta-makers, but she spent decades bucking family tradition. So we’ll hear from Cara Nicoletti, a 4th-generation butcher who founded [Seemore Meats & Veggies ](https://eatseemore.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoqwLWISPVwUOUDZNtvn2osFVFtsTt2CECJijdqP4-b8dyR4J2zl&ref=cascadepbs.org)so her customers would eat less meat.
