First Steps and Challenges

An initial foray into the business world started at the farmers market, where Panama City Pasta quickly sold out of dry pasta nests. However, making dry pasta is a meticulous process that demands significant science, skill, and time. It became clear that selling dry pasta alone wouldn’t generate the necessary funds to support the mission.

Story

The Birth of an Idea

Eli was driven by a desire to make a difference. Determined to create a business that could fund the rescue mission, Eli spent four to six hours every day honing the art of pasta making. This dedication involved months of practice, engaging with online pasta-making communities, and even traveling out of state to learn from established pasta shops.
