Since it’s broccoli season (did you know it’s a winter vegetable?), we thought it would be fun to make a video about an underrated dish: broccoli pasta. The only problem is… which one?

Every region in southern Italy has its own version of broccoli pasta. Since we couldn’t decide which to try, Eva made ALL of them!

  2. This is a great reminder that broccoli just doesn’t have to be blindingly hot seared and finished with sesame oil. I’m not broccoli’s biggest superfan but I love it when it’s charred or tenderstem broccoli seared with garlic and lemon. These are great alternatives and quite honestly super fast midweek meals as well

  3. I am half ltalian and ha e lived here all my life
    I LOVE bucattini more than any pasta.Hi Eva tuo marito sta molto meglio con i capelli lunghi, molto carino…più Europeo!!!!

  4. anything Eva cooks or even just touches is the best dish to eat…..she is heavenly with her accent, manner, and cooking knowledge….Harper….you have been blessed by God…your wife is an angel……

  5. In my area of Jersey Broccoli & Cavatelli is popular. It’s Usually done with garlic, olive oil, pecorino Romano cheese & some crushed red pepper flakes.

  6. I'm not sure if this is an authentic Italian dish but I love cavatelli and broccoli with a olive oil and garlic. All of Eva's dishes looked delicious but I would really like to try the last one. 😋

    A friendly correction.
    "Non sai cosa ti sei perso" is more like the English version of, "You don't know what you've been missing" rather than,
    "You don't know what you're missing."

  8. Þhey all look delish Love pasta e broccoli we are from Cosenza living in Canada, but we make our pasta e broccoli a little different. It's similar to the first one but we saute chilis and a crushed garlic which we remove then we add less water to cook the broccoli because we will keep some of the water to keep the dish a bit soupy and we crush most of the brocoli but keep it chunky.. We cook the ditali pasta separately, drain it, then add the pasta to the broccoli and add the grated Parmigiano to the plate. It's not exactly a soupy but it is a bit soupy. Sometime we even add carrots. We don't usually add tomatoes but we may add a scoop of left over sauce if we have any. I grew up on this dish and so did my kids we still love it.

  9. My 4-year-old loves broccoli is is about the only green veg he will eat. While we watched he just kept saying, "Ooh my WOW! While asking me to make these for him.

  10. Strangely enough, I was looking at the Candelle on Friday at Penn-Mac in Pittsburgh
    and it was about $20 a bag, so I passed on it.
    Do let us know if you have a reasonably priced source.

  11. Fabulous vid! I'm Pugliese so how could I go wrong watching this? Please do a taste test of panettone, if you can. Maina and Bauli seem to win a lot. Wondering if you guys have other favs!

  12. My bisnonna made this for me when i was little.She was from Barletta a town in Bari,Italy.I love all kinds of Broccoli.

  13. I made orecchiette with sausage and broccoli rabe and garlic, bit of hot pepper flakes and olive oil and some pecorino Romano cheese…Delish! 😋

  14. @pasta grammar – from a small hamlet south of Cosenza in Calabria….. One of the favourites in the new world…. Boiled rapini with hunks of cured meat like soppressata or cappollo.. Definitely local olio…. then dip in crusty, dried bread into the liquids.

    Calabria is awesome!!!!!!!!

  15. Nothing screams Calabria like Pepe e patate,broccoli,& cece ..
    My favourite would have to be the Sicilian & the calabrian dishes…then puglia

  16. W la Lucania ❤ Thank you for showcasing Basilicata – btw, watching your video on your hunt for caciocavallo in Basilicata was amazing (I’m from
    Canada but moved to the region when I was 22 and lived in a small town there for 4 years) ❤❤

  17. Are there any other ways of preparing broccoli Italian style? I’m still hoping after my corrective surgery next January I’ll be able to enjoy a plate of pasta without pain again after nearly 10 yrs but until then I’m on a hunt for delicious Italian dishes without pasta… they do look amazing and I promise you, Harper and Eva, the day I can enjoy pasta again I’ll make loads of Eva’s recipes and share photos of them on Instagram ❤ I love you guys x

  18. Of course, "Calabrian is the best!" My mother used to make a version of all of these dishes. Every dish that you make looks amazing. I get so much joy from watching you cook. Thank you.

  19. I’d love to try them all but I have recently had an autoimmune illness that means I can’t eat gluten. Any suggestions for good gluten free pasta? Im in England 🙃

  20. My father said frequently, “ you don’t know what you’re missing”. I’m not the biggest fan of fish 😂. He spent much of his younger days in Italy. He was an opera singer for about twenty years. I was regularly scolded in Italian, but she just made me think, maybe he stole this from the Italians as well. 😂

  21. These recipes look amazing. I would love if you two could do videos on your favorite vegetarian recipes and another on your favorite vegan recipes. These would be much appreciated. ❤

  22. I really enjoy your videos. Hope you had a happy Thanksgiving. I'm interested in that frying pan that was used in this video. Is it ceramic, and where did you buy it from?

  23. Hmmmm. My family is from Puglia. I grew up eating broccoli pasta on Friday nights, which means that it had no meat in it. Broccoli cooked with anchovies and garlic. The broccoli rabe was cooked with sausage and pasta, not broccoli and sausage.

  24. I had never heard of garum till tasting history did an episode on it. I would like to see the two of you colab with him. I think it would make an interesting episode.

  25. I think the Pulian one looked like the easiest and most likely for me to like it, same as Harper I would just make that if someone asked me to do a broccoli pasta.

  26. Actually I disagree… you forgot the best version: pasta with broccoli, pancetta and pecorino cheese!!!
    We make it like this in Rome (Lazio) and it's the best😋😋😋😋

  27. I grew up eating long pasta con una forchetta e un cucchiaio, which was the way Italians did it, not only us Siciliani e Calabrese. If Eva could ever explain why everyone stopped using the spoon, it would be greatly appreciated. I'm now the odd man out.

  28. watching you two interact whether off camera or on really fills my heart with such great joy. there's a saying that I've heard growing up as an Italian-American "Cent Anni" for toasting a couple's longevity together. And I certainly wish that for you guys. your joy to watch. I may love how you've evolved. the channel over time. have been a long time subscriber. I hope to visit your Italian restaurant restoration, in Italy one day and bring my son Luca with me. grazie mille Nicola from Tucson 🌵 AZ.

  29. Hi Eva. I am from Basilicata and love to watch the two of you! My son introduced me to your videos and I have been hooked ever since. Love the two of you together and love all your recipes. The ones from today are wonderful and u did a great job with our version of pasta e broccoli. Thanks for thinking of our beautiful region. If u ever find yourself near Potenza please get in touch with me so I can get you some caciocavallo podolico. I remember one of your videos about your odissea trying to find a place that sold caciocavallo podolico. Keep up the great work. P. S. Say hi to Chef Alfredo, wish you two did more videos with him, so very funny!! Love u guys♥️

  30. This is what I grew up eating. Thank you Ava (you too Harper😘) I can't wait to make your eggplant parm Harper…soon as I get some pretty eggplant!!
