About Ben Holland, the creator of The Foods Lab

Ben Holland is the passionate home cook and recipe developer behind thefoodslab.com, the popular food blog focused on easy pasta recipes and cooking tips.
Originally from Austin, Texas, Ben developed a love of food and cooking from a young age thanks to his Italian mother and Southern grandmother. They taught him classic recipes and techniques, fostering his interest in creating delicious, comforting meals.
After college, Ben worked in restaurants in New York City, learning from talented chefs. He loved immersing himself in the city’s vibrant food scene. During this time, pasta became one of his favorite meals to cook at home for friends.
The idea for The Foods Lab was born when Ben began sharing his pasta recipes and kitchen tips on social media. He was amazed at the enthusiastic response from readers who tried his simple, flavorful pasta dishes. Inspired, Ben launched The Foods Lab to share his love of pasta with home cooks everywhere.
On thefoodslab.com, Ben aims to demystify cooking pasta, proving that anyone can make restaurant-worthy noodles at home. His recipes emphasize fresh, quality ingredients while still being weekday-friendly for busy home cooks.
