Have you ever wondered, how is pasta made? You’re not alone! Pasta is a classic favorite, and the people who make the pasta enjoy it just as much as the people who eat it. Just ask the workers at Barilla’s Pedrignano facility, the largest pasta factory in the world. It’s not surprising people enjoy working at a place that always smells like pasta!
