Vivian uses pasta to explore a global tradition: stretching small amounts of meat into meals. Nutritionist Christine Byrne helps her weigh whole grain pasta's value while Dan Pashman joins Vivian for a noodle crawl in Charleston featuring meaty spins on classics. She returns home to make two pantry-friendly dishes - spaghetti with anchovy and breadcrumbs, and a modern Hamburger Helper with bowties, beef and cabbage.

KITCHEN CURIOUS WITH VIVIAN HOWARD tackles the everyday questions home cooks face in the kitchen and the bigger ideas behind them.
Guided by chef, mom and storyteller Vivian Howard, the series explores topics such as why cast iron is still king, how pasta can save the planet and why the freezer might be the unsung hero of one's home.
From the comforting resilience of root vegetables to the health power of beans and rice, KITCHEN CURIOUS WITH VIVIAN HOWARD invites viewers to rethink what they cook, why it matters, and how a little knowledge and a lot of joy can transform everyday meals.
