Appetito’s Italian Thanksgiving on TV

Australian cookbook author Alec Morris and his young songs, Aldo and Elio, are a team of playful pasta-makers determined to bring their favorite Sunday meal to your table.
Learning from his nonna at a very young age, Alec has been making pasta for over 30 years. His blog, Pasta et Al, began simply as a record of this weekly tradition as he passed it on to his children. However, it quickly grew into an international community drawn together by the trio&#8217;s unique blend of old and new, heartfelt storytelling and, of course, tiny, squishy hands. They continue to inspire new pasta-makers, reinvigorate old ones and even gain the occasional endorsement from someone&#8217;s nonna.
