Our Story
The Genesis of Pasta and Prana
Mike Ptaszek, a visionary chef and dedicated yogi, embarked on a quest to create something truly extraordinary for his beloved. Combining his love for traditional Italian cuisine with his passion for yoga and wellness, Mike introduced a groundbreaking concept: high-protein, hemp-infused pasta. This innovative dish is a delight to the palate and a powerhouse of nutrition, with 20-25 grams of plant-based, easily digestible hemp protein rich in omegas and fatty acids in each serving!
