“Nadia has built an engaged and loyal social media presence through her unique and stylized celebration of her Italian culture and the meals around which her family is built,” said Lauren Anderson, head of Brand and Content Innovation, Amazon MGM Studios. “Now with Hello Sunshine and thanks to the efforts of the Prime Video unscripted team, The Pasta Queen will expand her presence by giving global audiences a front row seat to her culinary and sartorial creativity.”

Munno is a New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author “celebrated for her contagious energy, love for people, classic recipes, and spreading the beauty of Italy worldwide.” Born and raised in Rome, she comes from a long family line of pasta makers dating back to the 1800s. Nadia has appeared on shows like Today, The Drew Barrymore Show, Sherri, Good Morning America, and Entrepreneur Magazine, which dubbed her “a force to be reckoned with in the digital space.”

“I’m so excited to share with the world the debut of my series The Pasta Queen,” said Munno. “I’m proud to have worked with such amazing partners, Hello Sunshine and Prime Video, to bring this to life. Come on a journey with me into my home kitchen and across my beloved Italy to experience first-hand my just gorgeous world of authentic Italian food, family, and culture.”

“The series is a charming, comedic, and insightful journey and there is no one better to take us on this extraordinary adventure through beautiful Italy than Nadia,” said Sara Rea, Hello Sunshine’s Head of Unscripted Television. “She is such a vibrant star who lights up the screen. We’re so excited to team up with this true Pasta Queen and the team at Prime Video to bring viewers along to share in the joys of cooking and tradition.”
