About Us
Welcome to Pasta Piracy — where the art of Italian cooking meets the spirit of open-source sharing!
Our Mission
At Pasta Piracy, we believe that the joy of cooking should be accessible to everyone. Whether you’re a seasoned chef or just beginning your culinary journey, our mission is to provide authentic, delicious Italian recipes that you can easily recreate in your own kitchen. We celebrate the rich traditions of Italian cuisine while embracing the freedom to experiment and adapt — because good food is meant to be shared and enjoyed by all.
Why ‘Pasta Piracy’?
The name Pasta Piracy is inspired by the idea of “pirating” recipes in the best possible way — by taking something beautiful and making it your own. In the world of open-source cooking, no recipe is off-limits. We encourage you to tweak, modify, and experiment with our recipes to suit your taste, just as you would with open-source code. And, of course, we invite you to share your creations with others!
Our Story
Pasta Piracy began with a deep love for Italian food and a passion for the DIY spirit. After years of experimenting with recipes, learning from Italian nonnas, and exploring the diverse flavors of Italy, we decided to create a space where these recipes could live freely. This site is a culmination of those efforts — a place where you can explore, cook, and contribute.
