Molto utile – grazie a voi! Mi piacono le farfalle – penso che siano belli.
😋😊
My parents were raised by Italians of different regions and always argued about the right kind of pasta with which sauce. My father was an impatient pragmatist, more American, and my mother tried to do everything "right," more Italian housewife. When my father learned, one evening, that he couldn't have clam sauce because we had spaghetti in the house but no linguine, there was a major altercation. He just couldn't understand the difference–stringy pasta is stringy pasta. Basta. But we didn't have the clam sauce for dinner that evening.
Farfelli é mío preferito.
Grazie per il video! Hi Katie, that is my nightmare – penne and, you know. Did they get angry with you when you said that??
I am not even halfway through this video but I just had to pause it, to congratulate Matteo on an amazing presentation of the meaning of the words mentioned so far, always in relation to their constituent parts. Time now to get back to the video!
Grazie mille per i video!! ❤ mi trasferirò a Torino tra 2 settimane quindi passerò tanto tempo a guardarli nei prossimi mesi per esercitarmi. Sono sempre molto divertente con voi e mi piace molto il vostro nuovo stile!
Ti capisco! Una volta in un negozio in Italia ho chiesto se avevano del collo invece di della colla! 😂
That was amazing. Thank you.
Very useful video with detailed explanations. I find you two really friendly and natural. It's like I'm learning Italian from very close friends of mine. This is another thing that makes your videos lovely. Grazie mille.
The farfalle are bloody difficult. Do you want the body or the wings al dente? You can't have both!
Grazie mille per il video!
Please, please, please, do the video on what sauce goes with what pasta!!!!!!
Did you attend Eton College? 😀 (the accent is very posh!)
Il mio preferito sono i bucatini.
A me piace moltissimo farfalle! Grazie mille!
That was fun. I would be very interested in a video about what type of pasta goes with what type of sauce!
fantastic video! thank you Matteo for this super clear presentation!
Can't wait to hear more about what sauce goes with what pasta!
farfalle è il mia pasta preferita
A maggio ho seguito un corso su come fare le orecchiette a Lecce. Ho anche visto delle donne fare le orecchiette a Bari, nel centro storico. E, naturalmente, le ho mangiate con le cime di rapa.
First time hearing Matteo speaking English
Learning is so much fun with the two of you. I rewatch your videos over & over, coming away with a smile every time.
I love the style and content, especially about the pasta, what a journey for learning. Keep up the good show.😺
Non amo le farfalle. È spesso o fitto? Secondo me. Grazie a voi per il video🙂
Grazie Matteo – mi tiri su il morale (you cheer me up?) e imparo anche un po' di italiano.
To Farfalle or not to farfalle? A question so far-out its folly to answer it. <mi dispiace – that's the best I coud do).
