Today I'm joined by the host of Cooking with Nonna, as well as author, podcast personality and Food Network star Rossella Rago, to talk all things Italian American. Join us as we talk favorite recipes, growing up Italian, carrying on family traditions and more.

First of all, we LAUGH. This woman is hysterical. We also talk:

+ What it was like being raised as a first-generation American in Brooklyn, all the ways she did and didn't fit in

+ Her best memories spending summers in Puglia

+ Why Italy is so easy to love

+ Northern vs. Southern Italians

+ The places she recommends for first-time (and followup!) visitors to Italy

+ Her favorite pasta recipes and hacks

...and more!
