At the table with Lucie - Kitchen Hacks - Pasta
This program delves deep into the history and culture of pasta: Invented in ancient China, it arrived in Italy via Arab traders. For a long time, it wasn't very well known there. Pasta as we know it isn't actually that old. At one point, fascists even tried to wean the Italians off it. Fortunately, that failed! Noodles are also an indispensable part of Asian cuisine. There, eating pasta is less strict; you can even enjoy slurping it. Lucie reveals her secret to classic truffle tagliatelle and her very own creation: carrot gnocchi in a tangy carrot sauce. Experts also explain why children worldwide love eating plain pasta, how healthy pasta is, and why germs that can be deadly can form on unrefrigerated pasta.
