Ep. 77: Midnight Pasta with Natalia Lepore Hagan


Listen Later

The only thing that could bring people together more than a big plate of pasta is learning to make the pasta by hand. Our guest today, Natalia Lepore Hagan, can teach you how to do just that at her Midnight Pasta classes - think less "cooking school" and more "fun-loving dinner party" - booze optional! We also talk about what's in our refrigerators, how to make pasta while camping, and our favorite desserts in Philly.

  • (00:00) Spoiler alert: how awesome was 'Deadpool and Wolverine'?!
  • (02:24) Eli's out this week and we miss him, but Marisa and Dave are excited to welcome Natalia to the studio
  • (06:38) Natalia explains the origins of Midnight Pasta Co, and passing down her family's recipes to over a thousand people in Philly (and counting!)
  • (15:32) Natalia tells us how this city embraced Natalia's pasta concepts, and why Philly is the best food city in America
  • (22:07) Guessing whose fridge is whose, QR codes on tombstones
  • (32:06) In It To Win It: We choose a winner for the Rocco's gift card, and tee up a giveaway for two spots at a Midnight Pasta event in September! Natalia chooses the secret word, and it's the name for a violent-sounding pasta
  • (37:00) Best Bites: Natalia's gas station breakfast, Marisa's eggplant parm, and Dave's small but mighty bite that he declared is now in his Top 5 desserts in Philadelphia
  • (48:30) Big Announcement: The next *award winning* Voi~yage dinner is in September, featuring a local favorite collaborating with a New Orleans legends. Plus, a ton more pop-ups, collabs and events for you to feast on!
