In this episode of the Italian American Podcast, hosts Pat, Rosella, and Marianna welcome guests Nonna Nunzia Caputo, and Alessia to the Red Sauce Studio in New York City for a conversation about the beloved tradition of handmade orecchiette and life in Bari Vecchia.
Nonna Nunzia recalls learning to make pasta as a young girl under the watchful eye of her grandmother, when orecchiette was not simply a regional specialty but part of the rhythm of everyday family life and, for many, a means of survival.
