Homemade Bolognese Sauce 🍝🥫

I already posted this video and it got about 20M views across platforms.
The comments were wild: Italians assuming they really know something about this recipe, Americans calling for garlic everywhere.

Even though in the video’s description I specified this recipe is from my aunt, the haters still found a way to criticize it (and make my video go viral).

Sharing the video again because I just posted a video on YouTube following the real, official “Ragù alla Bolognese” recipe.

Chicken Piccata 🍋🍗 

Chicken piccata is not Italian -we call it “scaloppina al limone” and doesn’t come with capers- but an Italian-American grandma (Nonna Angela) made it for me the other day
and I fell in love with it.

Ingredients (serving 1 if you ask me and my brothers) 

4 Chicken breast 
2 Lemons 
~100ml White wine 
~20g Capers
~10g Fresh Parsley 
~120g Flour 
3 minced garlic cloves
~30ml Olive oil
Salt, Pepper to taste

As a born and raised Italian I love everything about the Italian American colture. 

What we think in Italy is completely different from the reality: 
“They eat frozen pineapple pizza, precooked spaghetti, microwaved lasagnas…” which is true in many cases, but that’s not about being Italian-American 

The truth is there’s thousands of nonnas, Nonnos and many younger people too that treats the Italian American recipes with a Mediterranean spirit. 
Fresh ingredients, everything from scratch and the result can just be amazing, like the chicken piccata that my friend’s nonna made for me.
The one I made is pretty good too. 
Try it yourself.

Alfredo Sauce | The Original

Not with the name Alfredo, not with the same cheeses, and definitely not in a 5-year shelf-stable jar but this dish is actually very Italian.
Alfredo di Lelio was a Roman cook back in the 1950s, and he once created a dish for his sick wife.
She didn’t have an appetite, so he “invented” pasta ai 3 formaggi/ three-cheese pasta.
Parmigiano, butter, and… more @parmigianoreggiano.na 

She loved it so much that he added the simple pasta dish to his restaurant’s menu (the restaurant still exists: Alfredo alla Scrofa — Rome).

Alfredo then exported the dish to New York, where it became so popular that a different, Americanized version didn’t take long to be born.
Heavy cream and garlic were the biggest differences: a different pasta dish, but not the blasphemy most Italians say it is.
What’s really wrong with this sauce nowadays is that most of the time it comes in a jar full of bad preservatives, modified starches, and gums.

Not all pasta sauces are poison. Get in the habit of reading labels, google what you don’t recognize and you’ll learn how to spot a harmful product in no time.

Ingredients (serves 3)
Pasta 400g
Butter 130g
Parmigiano 100g
Cooking water

Scrippelle ‘Mbusse / Italian Crêpes Soup 🍲 

This dish originated in my region, Abruzzo.
It’s definitely a typical Christmas dish, but we eat it all winter long.
Simple ingredients, amazing flavors, soft textures, and that warmth in your heart that only a cozy childhood soup can give you.

I highly recommend making your own broth. It makes all the difference.
For the cheese, I’d use @parmigianoreggiano , the real one.
This is not a sponsored post. Just an honest suggestion.
Look for the perforated stamp on the rind and the DOP label to make sure it’s Parmigiano Reggiano and not Parmesan.

Other than that, feel free to follow your taste: add black pepper for a deeper flavor, remove nutmeg if you don’t like it… use fresh ingredients and let your creativity run, that’s what the Mediterranean diet is all about.

Soon you’ll start recognizing them (the harmful ones) and you’ll be able to respect a little more your and your family’s health.

Pesto sauce 🌿 from scratch 

This is one of the most common pasta sauces in Italy. Unfortunately convenience is conquering Italy too, even there most of the people are buying premade pesto. 

Making it from scratch is gonna give  benefits to your health (every single ingredient is nutrients-packed) but mostly a WAY better flavor. 

For the best pesto you ever had is essential using a mortar and pestle.
Using a food processor works just fine, I have a video doing it on my profile, back in 2024.

Serving 2: 
300g Pasta 
~1 garlic clove 
~100g Basil leaves 
~70g parmigiano (or half and half with Pecorino Sardo)
~40g nuts 
~Salt to taste 
~A bunch of EVOO
All the quantities are very imprecise. 
Use your taste while doing it to find the perfect balance. 
The perfect balance means what you like the best.

❗️Careful with the garlic,you can easily end up with a very garlicky sauce. Start by putting less than you expect.
❗️Wash basil leaves very well. Remove all the stems and make sure they’re well dried before using them.
❗️Never ever heat up pesto on a pan. 

How to store:

Add olive oil to fully cover the sauce.
Store it in the fridge up to 4 days and in the freezer for months. 
As always check appearance and smell before eating. 

About the nuts 🌰 🥜
Pine nuts are CONSIDERED more traditional.
Pretty much every type of nut work, use your favorite or the most convenient. 

🍝 Every pasta shape works with pesto. 
The most traditional are “Trofie” and “Trenette”.

Mac and Cheese - The Italian way 

Mac and cheese isn’t traditionally Italian, but it’s surprisingly close to our food culture. We’ve been baking pasta and cheese together in a thousand ways forever. So today I wanted to try this Italian-American classic… with a proper Italian twist.

INGREDIENTS (serving 4)

Pasta 500g
Milk 1l
Butter 100g
Flour 100g
Cheddar cheese ~80g
Parmesan cheese ~80g
Black pepper, salt, nutmeg To taste

Recipe 

Make the Béchamel
• Melt the butter in a pot.
• Season with nutmeg.
• Add the flour and whisk until the mixture is golden and uniform.
• Add the milk
• Pour in the warm milk all at once.
• Whisk constantly until the béchamel becomes thick and smooth, with no clumps.
• Turn off the heat.
• Add a lot of parmesan and mix until fully melted.

Cook the pasta and combine with cheeses
• Boil the pasta until al dente.
• While it cooks, shave plenty of cheddar cheese.

Mac and Cheese - The Italian way Mac and cheese isn’t traditionally Italian, but it’s surprisingly close to our food culture. We’ve been baking pasta and cheese together in a thousand ways forever.

Cook the pasta and combine with cheeses • Boil the pasta until al dente. • While it cooks, shave plenty of cheddar cheese. • Combine everything • Mix the cooked pasta with the béchamel. • Transfer to a baking dish. • Add the cheddar and fold it in. • Top and bake • Cover the surface with more parmesan. • Bake until the top is golden and crisp @giallolovesitaly
Is Carbonara American? 😳
 
Let’s say it’s both Italian and American. 
Is the communion of two cultures in a moment of extreme need. 
That’s what food is about. Caring, getting together, share. Being united. 
For sure not insulting each other on social media cause of some cream in a recipe that doesn’t exist. 

Long story short: eat carbonara however the f**ck you like it, with whatever ingredient is available. 

One thing I know for sure: If you go in Rome and you order a carbonara that follows the nowadays recipe by the book, you’ll eat something truly special, unique and flavorful.

My favorite way to make it (the nowadays one) will be out on YouTube next Sunday, I’ll show the step by step recipe other then breaking down the history even more. So you make it yourself and you don’t have to go all the way to Roma.

If you understand Italian, here’s where I got those informations:
