Today's guest is Aaron Gatti, founder of Brami, the fastest growing pasta brand in the U.S.

Aaron's story begins on a small farm in southern Italy, where he spent childhood summers with his grandparents. Not by choice, but because his parents couldn't afford childcare back in the States. It was there he discovered the lupini bean, a Mediterranean superfood once used to fuel Roman warriors and the same ingredient his grandmother credits for helping her survive World War II.

Years later, that inspiration became Brami, a pasta made in the mountains of Molise, Italy, using just two ingredients: durum wheat semolina and lupini bean flour. No shortcuts, no over-processing — just premium Italian tradition with modern nutritional benefits.

While most alternative pastas in the U.S. are ultra-processed and nutritionally empty, Brami stands out by going back to the source. With a vertically integrated supply chain, they control everything from milling to storage, delivering quality you can taste and trust.

The result? Brami has grown 1,404 percent year over year and is now sold in over 5,000 stores nationwide, outpacing legacy brands like Goodles, Rummo, and Rao's.

On this week's episode you'll learn:

• The secret to a healthy, one pot Italian meal that's as easy as it is nutritious
• What makes Italian food feel so satisfying, and how Brami captures that with a twist
• How the lupini bean went from family secret to venture backed superfood
• How Brami scaled in retail and increased sales by 40 percent at Whole Foods
