We Quit our Jobs to Travel the Country in an RV

Hi, I'm Katie! Creator of Buona Pasta Club, a pasta loving community where I share the simplicity of the pasta making process to show you that YOU can make homemade pasta, and that you don't need any fancy tools or ingredients! Just some background for you... I've been in love with pasta my entire life, and lucky for me growing up in an Italian family meant lots of pasta! I fell in love with cooking & creating my own recipes after taking an Italian Cooking & Language class in Florence, Italy where I studied abroad in college. I moved to San Diego in 2012 and started making fresh pasta regularly when I met my husband, Hunter, who never had fresh pasta before! Eventually we started sharing all our pasta creations on social media, which I named after my parent’s pasta shop, Buona Pasta - founded in 1985. I quit my corporate job a few years back after I was given the opportunity to take over 100 eggs that were going to go to waste in 2020 due to a cafe that had to close. I took that as my sign to officially launch my pasta business, Buona Pasta. Originally, making & selling pasta throughout San Diego and then eventually transitioning to teaching homemade pasta making via pasta parties and corporate workshops around town! I started sharing these same beginner friendly recipes and tutorials to my socials and that's when Buona Pasta Club was born 💛 I started a series, 'Pasta in the Wild' where I make pasta in unique and beautiful places - since we love camping and being outdoors - to show you that you don't need much to make pasta, not even a roof! I also just published my very first cookbook, 'Buona Pasta: Fresh Pasta Made Easy With or Without a Machine'! Find the links to order at buonapastaclub.com :) My mission with Buona Pasta Club is to replace intimidation with inspiration, showing that anyone can make homemade pasta, all they need is someone to give them the confidence :) And... I'm taking this mission on the road! Come along with my husband (who also just left his job) & our 125 lb pup to pick up the RV for our 3 month, 4000 mile cross-country road trip, traveling from San Diego to New York! Subscribe to my channel and follow our journey as we travel the country, visiting national parks, scenic overlooks, and hot spots - while making pasta in the wild and home cooked meals along the way! I can't wait to share our travels with you! Huge shoutout to El Monte & Road Bear RV Rentals since this road trip wouldn't be possible without them!
