  1. I’m new to you two. I’m American with Italian Sicilian heritage. We live snd eat as close to Italy as possible. Love Eva’s versions. Enjoy you two . Is there a recipe book out there . Molto 7:16 Grazie,
    Joyia

  2. Made the Fettuccine Alla Papalina except I didn't have time to make the pasta and did it with spaghetti. It was delicious. Can't wait to try more of your dishes.

  3. I made Alla Zozzona the other night. I have to use Penne because I can't seem to find Gluten Free rigatoni and my wife has Celiac Disease so it had to do. Fantastic flavour and it's my new favourite pasta.

  4. I got some ricotta once for a recipe and it didn't have much taste to it so did I just get bad cheese or is this normal? After watching Harper basically drool every time ricotta is in a dish, I'm thinking that maybe our ricotta here in our area of America just isn't very good. 🤷‍♀️ Thanks!

  5. I love you guys and love to watch you cook and enjoy all the Italian dishes. I have one question…why don't you guys wear your wedding rings?

  6. Eva is such a keeper, you lucky guy. But she didn't do too bad either. You're both so good together. Live long and prosper. Oh Yeah and keep making videos. 🙂

  7. The things I have on hand at home is bacon and garlic so I figure since I'm not using guanciale which is a curd, herb flavoured meat, adding some garlic for extra flavour is necessary. After I brown the bacon, I put it aside, then pour off most of the fat and replace with olive oil for a healthier version. I also saute a clove or two of garlic in the pan, then add the el dente spaghetti, egg/cheese and pour in pasta water as needed. Keep stirring and adding pasta water and the creamy shiny sauce will happen (about 1/2 c). I put the bacon back in once the sauce is finished. I'm also too cheap to only use yolks and for four servings use two whole eggs. My version is not as rich tasting as the original but its what our family loves and is quick, easy and inexpensive to make. I do splurge on good quality bronze cut spaghetti but have made with inexpenvive spaghetti and its always delicious.

  8. I always make carbonara with fresh garlic. allowed to bloom in the frying pan. and then added to the egg and cheese mixture.

  9. Eva if you don’t eat pig meat can you replace it with another meat ? And if so which meat would you recommend?

  10. 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

  11. I knew I should have married that Italian woman I grew up with. Heck, I grew up with mostly Italian women. Should have married one of them at least!

  12. 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? ❤

  13. I could eat a small portion of that along side a t bone. Let the blood from the steak mingle with the pasta. Ummmmm goood…
