    They are living proof that you can eat pasta and stay slim and healthy.
    I ate pasta every day in Rome and dropped pounds.
    We cooked everything ourselves, used fresh ingredients and never drank sodas or snacked between meals.
    No fast food, no snacking, ne prepared meals full of additives and trans fats, normal portions, fruits for desert except for special occasions….
    Easy peasy.

      This is the "secret" ! It is often the various sauces (like how they use in America full of cream, full of various fats) that are fattening, the sometimes exaggerated portions. Everything people drink and eat during the day, lots of drinks full of sugar and other unhealthy things, etc.

      Plus, Americans and Canadians tend to have more of a car culture, whereas in Italy, they take public transit and, then, walk everywhere. And, frequently, that means walking up and down hills. My best friend lives in Liguria. So, so many hills. So much climbing hills.
      We visited Cinque Terre. The one village has the train station at the bottom of the hill, so you have to climb well over 300 steps to get to the village itself. All the other villages have the train station at the top of the hill, so you go down the stairs to get to the village, but then, you have to climb all the stairs to get back to the train station. No escalators or elevators, to my knowledge.

    The pasta al tonno e limone is incredible. It is so light and tastes so refreshing in the hot weather we currently have in Germany. I added half of a diced very small red onion to it. When I eat tuna, I need onions. And the first thing my italian colleague said, when I showed her the recipe "Where's the onions?"
    I served this dish with a simple tomatoe salad at the side.

    You know, just when I fear this will become another “recipe of the week” channel (fun, but risking becoming just another CZcams cooking channel), you two twist things just enough to keep it fresh. Summer in Calabria, inside a centuries old building no less, well how cool is that. And of course the recipes are fantastic and fun as always. Eva’s teaching is brilliant, she doesn’t just dictate steps, she explains the spirit and behind each step.
    Gosh I love my Sunday mornings with this channel.
    PS yes to the limoncello and also, there’s that thing Italians do where they tie a bottle to a tree branch and cause a fruit to grow into the bottle. That would be so great to see and learn.

    These meals look so delicious. I love summer produce. It’s my very favorite! Going to the Farmer’s Market on a Saturday and eating food that was picked fresh that morning is beyond amazing!
    I grow what I can in a tiny yard, tomatoes and zucchini and peppers and herbs. But for the other things it’s the farmer’s markets!
    I would love to see a limoncello recipe!
    The Pasta with the fresh tomatoes and ricotta at the end is going to happen! I just have to go on a search for “good” ricotta when the tomatoes ripen!
    I really loved all the summer pastas. Are there any other dishes that don’t include pasta? I know this show is Pasta Grammar, but maybe show us a little something else that’s eaten in summer.
    I look forward to watching every Sunday! Thank you for sharing this with us. ❤

    I made the third dish today with two modifications: I used homemade goat ricotta that was left after baking a lemon ricotta cake today, and; I used gluten free spaghetti as that was the only pasta I had and it is a 25 km drive to the grocery store. It was delicious! ❤

    Si si with the limoncello. I've been macerating some peel now for three weeks. Wonder how much longer. Ordered lemons from an organic farm in California. Three times the cost in local stores but well worth it.
    Your summer pasta dishes look wonderful and simple.

    Here we are also dealing with very light dishes because we have to keep in mind that it is not the pasta (of course, the portions also) which makes you fat, but it is the seasoning (the fatty sauces as used, for example, in America) that is used on the pasta that makes you fat. Whereas here we have light, natural and healthy products.

    OMG I made the PASTA RICOTTA E POMODORINI RECIPE and it was a big hit! My husband loved it. I’m Italian from Calabria also but I moved to Canada when I was 1 years old. But we spoke Italian at home and my mom made a lot of traditional Italian recipes. Thanks again for the great recipe. I’m going to try the one with the tuna next 😊.

    I'm saddened that Eva doesn't like Pasta Salad. It's one of my favorite dishes. Mine is different from most people's as I make it with fresh tomatos, green peppers, black olives, thinly sliced red onion, capers, store bought italian salad dressing and of course the pasta cooked to a firm al dente and everything is refridgerated overnight to blend. Easy, fresh and delicious.

    • @dianapohe
      @dianapohe Před rokem +2

      Fyi though, "Italian salad dressing" isn't a thing in Italy 😅 the only thing we put on salads is olive oil and salt. Then, only if you like it, you can choose between balsamic vinegar, black pepper or a squeeze of lemon

    You've made pizza but I think the second most popular item in a pizzeria is panzerotto, with tomatoes, mozarella, capers, mortadella. I think that there is a certain time of the year when everybody makes a lot of it, maybe around the christmas holidays.

      @@iota-09 My mother was from Puglia and I researched panzerotti and it turns out that you're right. It's only popular in that region of Italy. Calzone is similar but, its made in a oven, where as panzerotti are fried and much smaller.

    When I make crudaiola (checca) I like to dice the toms and salt them in a colander, so they lose some liquid. Then I garnish them in a bowl on which I rubbed a garlic clove, but I do not add the garlic itself, and use dried ricotta or cacioricotta (for an Apulian twist) and basil.

    That's beautiful. It brings to mind a salad I got the recipe to a long time ago. It's, if I remember right, salad greens, with hot chicken and you mixed fresh basil leaves in with it. That you can triggers the taste and smell of the basil. It's decadent.
