At the heart of The Pasta Queen is Nadia Caterina Munno, an influential figure who is famous for her entertaining cooking videos, and the connection to Italy's traditional pasta-making heritage. Born and raised in Rome, the Munno family has been making pasta since the early 1800s.

She has a social media presence, which she infuses with immense enthusiasm while showing a love for Italian food, and it has seen her gain a pretty solid following. Today, through The Pasta Queen, she takes this passion further by spreading it around the globe.

According to Hello Sunshine’s Sara Rea,

"Nadia’s energy and charm light up the screen, making her the perfect host to take us on this culinary adventure.”

Besides hosting the show, Munno is also an executive producer of the series along with Reese Witherspoon, Sara Rea, and other top figures from Hello Sunshine and Amazon MGM Studios.

This represents a significant milestone for Munno: from social media to a full-fledged TV series combining her culinary skills and her love for Italian tradition.


The plot of The Pasta Queen

The Pasta Queen is a series more than just a cooking series - it's more like a culinary journey through Italy's diverse regions. For each episode of this series, Munno sets out to travel to a different region in Italy, where she will discover local ingredients, cooking methods, and food traditions.

After each episode, the program is then shown to be in her kitchen. Munno illustrates how all these ingredients must be prepared to make authentic Italian dishes.

According to a recent release from Amazon MGM Studios, the series "takes you through iconic Italian gastronomic locations," bringing viewers recipes as well as a taste of Italy's cultural fabric.
