If you had to choose just ONE of these Roman pasta dishes to try, which would it be?
I would choose the last one because it reminds me of a dish my grandmother made. She made Pasta ca'Ricotta, a Sicilian version of Pasta alla Pecorara. It is my all time favorite quick and easy comfort food! Growing up I never knew that so many of these simple dishes were authentic to Italy. I just thought it was stuff my family threw together that just tasted delicious. lol
Pasta with peas brings back many memories; my mother used to make this when I was a child. 😀😁😎
Eva
Tough one I say the last one tho,what kind of pan was that a stainless steel pan?
Love your channel
Purtroppo per l’Italia esistono questi pseudo cuochi amatoriali che distruggono le ricette originali che vergogna
Eva is a National Treasure!! Just love her to pieces!!
Eva's reaction at 1:28 when Harper talks about how fattening the dish will be, is PRECIOUS! I live in Brazil and my roommate is from Rome. We LOVE watching Eva together! (We're obsessed with her hair!!!) He LOVED this episode about Rome, but he didn't know some of the dishes... (Is Eva making stuff up? hahahahaha)
Yes! That hair….is insane! Love the the dishes as well. 🤓
The HAIR on this woman is breathtaking. Brava 🎉!
I love how much history Eva knows about these dishes. If you sat me down and asked me about the classic New England dishes, how they came to be...sorry, I got nothin'. Brava, Eva.
Yay, Italy! Can hardly wait to see your family again. Harper, will you look up some of your cousins? After all, you're not just honorary Italian anymore. ;) Eagerly awaiting your adventures.
That's not a bad idea! I hadn't thought about tracking down any surviving relatives
@@PastaGrammar Happy to plant seeds. :)
But you know about the great molasses flood and Boston brown bread?! I saw it on CZcams, where else
@@suzesas Yes!!! I watched that, too! Trying to save a buck and the rivets popped. Idjits.
@@PastaGrammar Hey is that the lady natural hair or a wig and extensions ???
Sometime you guys gotta do a video on the various dialects around Italy...
I bet that Eva, just as she is good at making the dishes of the various Italian regions, will also be good at speaking the dialects of the various regions. 😊
PS: The only problem is that by us in Italy, even in the same region, in the same area, there are dialects that change even a few kilometers away. I think we are the country with the most dialects in the world !
Too many dialects, it's impossible 😂
@@winkleperiwinkle808 Okay, too many, but why? How did they originate? Why did they originate? Has that changed since the unification? Was it different in the Papal States?
See what I mean? Until I started watching Pasta Grammar I had no idea there were so many dialects. It's really quite a relevant question because there have been so many Italian immigrants to the United States and, historically, most immigrants come from relatively poorer areas, which I assume in Italy means areas with more obscure dialects.
I think it could be a really interesting video. I think, with Eva's profession as an Italian language teacher, there wouldn't be that many people better qualified to talk about it than Eva.
@@ps5801 A lot of the "dialects" are actually separate languages and not mutually intelligible with Italian, many of which are much older than Italian (Italian is standardized Florentine Tuscan.) Somewhere north of 20% of Italians today speak a local language at home that is not the Italian language, and in years past, this percentage was much much higher (closer to 80%). Italy is in reality a union of dozens of separate peoples who in the past had their own countries.
Even subtracting the languages (at least 40), there are probably 13-20 dialects of Italian that can still structurally be called varieties of the Italian language and not a separate linguistic heritage.
@@DiMacky24 Interesting. Thanks for posting.
from when i was born, each summer I go on vacation to Capricchia, a small village near Amatrice, which is the original place where they invented the Amatriciana. It is so good to see people around the world who are curious about it. Here in Italy it is well known, and it changes a little in each region (for example the bucatini pasta is not in the original recipe), but yeah I think it is soo good. A nanny of a friend of mine made the best of the best, cause she was born in amatrice... i can't actually describe that taste
I'm fron Campotosto😘
Speaking about Roman dishes, the best pasta dish I've ever had in recent years was a plate of bucatini all'amatriciana at a Roman restaurant in Milano. I would have never heard about this dish and would have never thought of ordering it without your video about it, so thank you.
BUCATINI?!? THE REAL ENEMIES OF YOUR SHIRT&CLOTHES! THE PASTA SHAPE WHO'S MADE MORE VICTIMS THAN THE SECOND WORLD WAR.....
Amatriciana might be the best pasta of them all. If done right with quality ingredients, it reaches medically unsafe levels of deliciousness.
I have no idea how something with that few ingredients can taste that good.
I'm a little surprised that you didn't know that dish, because “Amatriciana” and “Carbonara” are two of the most famous dishes of Roman cuisine, practically known all over the world.
@@aris1956at least from my perspective in Southern California, there are so many Italian (and Italian American) pasta dishes we see around that pasta all'amatriciana can get lost amongst all of them. Esp the faves: spaghetti and meatballs, or Chicken Alfredo!
But it should be spaghetti all'amatriciana, that's what they did in amatrice... The romans just stole it and replqced the pasta with bucatini. 😅
Eva, your dishes are a synchronization of mastery, artistry and history. You provide culinary authenticity--so grateful to see it! Fai buon viaggio!
Watching this video I miss Pasta alla Gricia, basically Carbonara without eggs; only guanciale, pecorino and black pepper. Delicious, also very very famous in Rome. 👍🏻
La gricia è un piatto molto sottovalutato and it's my favorite, actually. 🙂
@@bellissima78 Decisamente
È un piatto sottovalutato e quasi quasi lo preferisco
16:50 I thought she threw the guanciale right on the floor.
I, too, had thought the same thing when she with her hand turned the plate over. 😀
*Harper & Eva, Congratulations on 250,000 subscribers!* would love some great fruit desserts, perhaps recipes with fresh figs, summer fruit ices or drinks, The Sour Cherry Ricotta pie of the Jews of Rome.
What about how to make Limoncello, or Ratafia Abruzzese, or an Anisette from scratch. Would love that.
Grazie mille! Eva's family garden is full of lemons right now, so limoncello might be in order soon
@@PastaGrammar YES! Literally looking at recipes yesterday. Can't wait. Safe and blessed travels to you both.
Those burns for Gordon sure aren't going to heal easily and without scars... and they shouldn't. 😂
Love Eva's glimmering eyes when Harper talks about adding sour cream...
That, my man, almost left you out in the dog-house. 🤣
This woman fills my heart with love!
This is great, I literally caught Steve and Vincenzo’s preparations in the same day, went and got all the ingredients last night. Today, I fire up CZcams as I’m getting ready to make my own Zozzona….and I find Harper and Eva also making Zozzona! 😂 This recipe looks so rich and delicious, wish me luck that I don’t scramble the eggs…
Buon appetito! The nice thing about zozzona is that the tomato sauce creates a pretty substantial buffer for the eggs, so there's less chance of them overcooking. Let us know how it came out!
@@PastaGrammar It came out as great as I hoped, you're correct that the tomato sauce remains one of the dominant ingredients, the eggs have so many yummy ingredients to coagulate with, that the tomatoes just have a light extra background creaminess to them - che bella! Thanks so much guys for educating us on the best of Roman cuisine!
I love that Eva made the fettuccini wirhout using any devices or machine. I need to face my fear and make fresh pasta. 😊
Go ahead, it‘s not that hard!
@@timmuller7295 Thank you for the encouragement! 😊
No one can ever mistake Eva's full head of hair! I'm a guy and I'm jealous!!
I have been obsessed with pasta alla zozzona since trying the recipe from not another cooking show
One of the things that i like about your videos is the way the two of you get along. It is a "marriage' of the two of you in the truest sense.
My favorite Roman pasta is Pasta alla Gricia. Was in Rome for 3 weeks a year ago - so had the opportunity to try most of the typical Roman dishes.
I love the straightforward flavor and if I already had eggs earlier in the day, I don’t have to consume more by eating carbonara 😂
Luckily it’s easy to find great guanciale here in SF. She’s so right about trimming the outside. I didn’t do that at first and realized it leads to burned little bits of herbs, etc that’s coated on the outside.
This is a great video, I learned about Pasta alla Zozzona a few months ago and I’ve been hooked on it, one night I didn’t have any hot sausage but I did have some homemade Nduja, so I used a small amount of Nduja and I was very surprised how good it really was, but there’s no real substitute for sausage. Thanks for this video guys, 🇮🇹😎🇮🇹
nduja is a great substitute for it, good job
It’s the best dish - I too have fallen in love with Pasta alla Zozzona!
Thank you guys, I've been making Pasta alla Pecorara for years and I never even knew it was a real dish. For me, it's my favourite pasta dish and I'm so glad you are sharing it with everyone
It's something that happens sometimes even to us Italians, in Italy, who maybe have been making a dish for years in a certain way and maybe didn't know that that dish had somewhere in Italy a certain name. :)
its from abruzzo
Usually not distracted by such things but apart from the food Eva's hair is magnificent in this video!
Just found this channel yesterday and sub'd. Not sure why youtube has been hiding it from me... Im a foodie and splurge on cooking channels of quality. Love you two already. I lived 6 or so years in Arco Felice (NA) and evenings most week nights I worked for free in the kitchen with the Mother of a local guy we met. I learned SO MUCH! Love your wifes take on things and she sounds just like my buddy's wife-he married a Calabrese Woman! This channel brings back so many great memories, thanks! ... and gonna try to make that that Pasta alla Zozzona! I had it once and was awesome.
Still want to see Eva make Veal Saltimbocca it seems to have many regional variations all the way to southern Switzerland. I used to eat it at Macaroni Grill decades ago when they made actual food but I am sure it was Americanized in some way. I kind of make a BS version of it that tastes ok.
I'm literally watching this with my jaws dropped. God, how I love pasta - and you guys! :)
Eva is my hero. I have learned so much from her about how to cook
Ok , Harper and Ava, help me out..Being a new Grammarian, I'm trying to start learning from the birth of civilization at Rome...I've heard several food historians state that legend has it that the Shepards around Rome would always have a variety of basic ingredients which would allow them to make all of these pastas...starting with Gricia(pasta, pecorino, black pepper, and guanciale); adding tomato sauce to the previous becomes Amatriciana; from there, egg with pecorino and black pepper and guanciale and pasta is that ever-tasty Carbonara....and lastly, the fourth classic Roman pasta dish is Cacio e pepe - just pasta, pecorino cheese, and black pepper. But every single dish on this amazing channel is so mouth watering yet humble because of your ever evident class and intelligence, and the orespect for both the food and ingredients which you both have. How could or would anyone wish you anything but the best of love, luck, blessings, and good health? I certainly wish you the very best!!! ❤
Pope’s pasta (Pasta alla papalina) was created when Pope Pius XII asked for a “healthier” alternative to Carbonara… it’s not actually healthier just because you add vegetables but you know back then it’s whatever you tell yourself. Peas are optional (when in season) but the onion and a block Prosciutto crudo are the key ingredients.
Also Pecorara is Pasta alla Gricia but with Ricotta because what’s Carbonara with out the eggs… Pasta alla Gricia, at the end of the day is Cacio e Pepe with Guanciale
Thank you so much Eva and Harper for introducing us to these fabulous Roman Pasta dishes! Buon Viaggio!!!
Eva has made me enjoy trying Italian cooking and just exploring the food more.
It's fun to try different versions of pasta dishes. I think if Eva were to create her own with ingredients she loves it would be fabulous. 😋🤗
GRACIE- THANK YOU !! 💖
Thank you for videos!
these are great dishes ...wonderful
This was great, but I LOVE your travel videos. They’re always a great merging if food and history. I just can’t wait.
I always loved the fresh pop of peas in the (bastardized) American carbonara. I guess this whole time I've really just been loving papalina! I like Eva's theory that whoever brought the recipe over got them confused.
I think a lot of it is more that Italians in America were from all over Italy. My neighborhood now, in 2023, is of Italians from all over Italy. The local markets make food from all over and combinations of things that never existed in Italy. One neighbor is from Campobasso, another from Bari, and yet another from Naples or Florence. I mention Campobasso for a reason... that's where a big part of my family is from.
My great aunt grew up as a farmer in Campobasso and came to the US in her twenties. She took to "Italian American" food immediately because it made sense to her and tasted good. My grandmother was as well (her sister) but she died long before I was born.
She never had this weird kind of "Italians don't do this" attitude I see in much of the cooking CZcams videos. That said, she thought things like margarine and Crisco were just garbage. She either grew it herself or bought it from local farms.
I think Harper is really understanding italian cousine since he appreciates the "beauty of simplicity". Bravo Harper! 😊👏
Crème fraiche is not sour cream. These recipes look fantastic! Must smell incredible.
The last pasta would be my favourite, but they all look fantastic. I love watching Eva cook it’s satisfying 😌
Love this
Just discovered you two
Brilliant
Great video, thanks ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for making this content, love your channel!!! From the actual recipies (tried multiple recipes) to the vibe of your channel: love it!!!
I'd love to see you do a video of recipes that use FRESH tomatoes, not made into a sauce. I'll have tons of ripe tomatoes in my garden starting in about 3 weeks :)
Stay tuned 😉
Yes, this! 🥰 So many tomatoes coming our way.
I’m so excited to try these recipes!
Love your videos
Hello Beautiful couple Eva & Harper! I love your shows and your recipes! So fun to watch!
Especially excited to try the Pecorara! I never was a big ricotta fan until I tried Norcina - now I'm hooked!
Great series of cooks and.. Joseph that pesto looked soooooo good. Well done
She cooks fantastically , love all her dishes, and she is beautiful too, I am spanish and live in Denmark
Love, love, love these recipes. Thank you so much for them. I will try them.😊
Such a great video today. They all would be my favorite!
Loving these videos, I have so much to learn mmmmm
I recently asked my mom to make alla zozonna and it was excellent. Very rich and very filling though. I dont think I could eat it twice in a row.
Can’t wait to see you guys bring home with new recipes. Safe travels to and back home Eva and Harper
Complimenti Eva and Harper really nice recepy.
Would love to see Eva’s version of pasta alla pecorara calabrese!
Also wondering if you would be able to discuss the importance of a smooth unfinished wood surface & Mattarello when making fresh pasta?
Love the channel. My family also hail from Calabria so watching Eva’s creations is like a slice of home.
Best wishes on your trip!
You guys are great,love your food!
10:45 WILDLY therapeutic!!! 😌
My wife has been making fettuccine alla papalina for 40 years. Love it. One of my favorite meals.
This guys got it made!
I just made the pasta zazzona for dinner tonight. It came out amazing! I look forward to making the other delicious recipes you have on your videos.
Makes me hungry every time I watch you eat! Yum! Enjoy your trip!❤
Love making this dish all Bensonhurst New York. Love the addition of fhe ground sausage 👌
Thanks for sharing these amazing recipes. Safe journeys & have fun!
Now this is a carbonara-like dish that I can get excited about. I like the tomatoes and no peas! I must give this a try.
Safe travels enjoy your trip love your content
We love you guys and your show
You guys are fantastic, new food channel obsession! Not Another Cooking Show and Vincenzo’s plate are awesome too, love the community spirit
Thank you for your many pasta dishes. Many "experts" often get stuck on one" dish". i like to explore different kinds of foods.
Thank you so much Eva for new rigatoni recipes! Rigatoni is my favorite pasta.
This recipe looks amazing. Looks like marina meets carbonara :) I'll definitely try this one - great work and great video as always!
Looks and sounds so delicious !!!!
My Italian, Abruzzese, spouse loved this video!
Thanks!
Always makes me hungry. Looking forward to Italy.
The New Basics cookbook has the pasta, prosciutto, and peas recipe made with cream. We made it for years and it was good. This sounds much better. Can't wait to try it.
You two are just the cutest couple, and your cooking skills are just off the chart. I'm so glad I found your page! You're giving me lots of things to cook here.
I'm going to Rome, Naples/Sorrento for 3 weeks in July and you all are getting me excited!
Thank you guys for your amazing recipes
I am American,made the dish and my italian husband loved it 🥰
A while ago there was a restaurant in New York that specialized in Roman Jewish cuisine. Based on a residence of more than 500 years the cuisine is still incredibly unique in Roman cuisine. Could you explore some Roman Jewish dishes? ❤
I'm happy for you both, enjoy Italy
Those dishes are inspiring and I need to try them one day. Better to have variety than a few basic dishes. Have fun in Italia.
Love you guys. Have a great time in Italy.
Grazie!
Always a fun watch thanks have fun stay safe.👽👍
Have a safe and wonderful trip!!!
Grazie!
That's pretty bold of Harper to wear that crisp Benetton polo and eat pasta.
I’m looking forward to making the pasta alla zozzona!
I have my Meater and thermometer magnetted to the fridge like yours! Love your videos. I learn a lot.
Amazing delicious pasta dishes and they are simple to make , my favorite was the pasta with peas , yet everyone of them is worthy to serve to family and friends , can't wait to see the Italy videos, new york
Alla Gricia is our favorite, but I am going to try making Zozzona. Thanks for the video.
I actually made Pasta Alla Zozzona from a video i saw on CZcams about a year ago!! Was Absolutely delicious ❤
As an italian, I knew how to make only one of this pasta, the others were only names. Anyway now Eva has to show us the other 2 versions of pasta alla pecorara. Please?
I have to say, I really enjoy every single one of your video productions. They are entertaining and educational. I have watched several of them more than once. Excellent work! I would like to travel with you two and your group to Italy.
I'm pretty sure I would LOVE all the dishes Eva made..but the last one with Ricotta Cheese ah, now that sounds SO good!! Safe Travels! Ciao
The best Chanel, they work so well together, their shows do a great job , and taste amazing. Thank you
It's not "ricotta", it's "ra-gaught." 😁😁 Absolutely love your channel; it reminds me of being in my family's kitchen growing up.
I Made Pasta Alla zazzona today. Delicious aF ❤
OMG... just made the Pasta alla Zozonna.... was amazing. wasn't as beautiful as yours but taste was out there!!! Eva.. you are a rock star!!!!
Love this Recipe 1000% on point so many more variants to Carbonara this is one of them Salute to this video 🍷
When using the word “dirty” for a meal. Don’t forget about southern Cajun “dirty” rice
