An influencer has riled up thousands of people on TikTok after posting a video of herself making homemade pasta from scratch on a plane, 30,000 feet in the air.
In the video, the foodie and pasta guru Katie Brooks, who goes by the name Buona Pasta Club, mixes flour and water together in a bowl while the plane is cruising through the clouds.
She then rolls it into a dough, cuts it into small blocks using a knife and shapes it using a tiny wooden pasta board. I have no idea how she managed to get a whole knife on board.
“POV: You hate airplane food so you make it yourself,” the influencer, who has more than 225,000 followers on TikTok, wrote in text on the screen.
It was obviously meant to be a joke to get views to her pasta page, but the video has racked up a whopping 11.5 million views, and people aren’t happy in the comments.
Some people are arguing that making pasta on a plane is super unhygienic, while others say it’s just rude and annoying for the person sitting next to you.

“I don’t know how people don’t realize the airplane is the most unhygienic place,” one person wrote.
Another said: “I’d lose my mind sitting next to this person.”
“Normalize remembering you’re in public again,” someone else commented.
A fourth person added: “Imagine sitting next to this person, I’d be so mad they’re getting flour everywhere while I’m trying to nap.”
Some people are concerned that there could be coeliacs in the surrounding seats who are allergic to gluten, and the flour floating around could be a “real threat” for them.
Others think it’s just downright stupid because she can’t even cook the pasta. So, what’s the actual point? TikTok views, that’s the point. And it clearly worked.
