Sat down and ranked every classic pasta dish because… why not?
Some are legendary, some are overrated, and some of you will absolutely disagree.

Well, it’s a look….
Thanks for sharing, awesome episode! Your hair looks great, anyway you have it. I know it's probably incorrect to have pasta in Italian wedding soup, but I learned a wonderful recipe using tri color tortellini. Also, my child is vegan as well as gluten free and misses pasta in every way. I make it as best as I can, but she remembers the recipes she used to be able to enjoy. Have fun at your dinner, we love you, Nick, and Chris!
Don't watch this if you're hungry 😋
Prison look lol
Dude, I love all three of you. But every time I hear Chris in the background, dude is just so fucking easy to get along with. You and Nick really landed a good one.
I'd love to see the pasta shapes one, I'm a paccheri gal myself, like rigatoni on steroids
Enjoy these tier videos ❤❤❤
I love all of these that I knew of, except Spaghetti al Vongole. Although it was very popular at the Italian restaurant I used to work at. Gnocchi is S tier for me.

Matteo is gonna cause world war 3 with his tier lists 😂😂😂
Matteo, no mater what has happened in your life, you are so adorable (and sexy),
Been to Z'Umberto, I got the Rigatoni alla Gricia and my sister got the All'amatriciana. Both were delicious– an amazing gem of a restaurant in Trasatvere!!
Aunt Cindy,if you’re in these comments,drop that ziti recipe girl!
"The Heat" in terms of the heat source being used to cook/bake is definitely a HUGE thing!!
I'm 47% Italian and loved to be in the kitchen with my grandma and have continued to try and perfect her many dishes (never an actual written recipe-for shame!) throughout my 61 years.
But despite following what I believed was EVERY STEP she made, my results more often than not failed to hit the mark. I wondered why. 🧐
Then, as time went on and I moved here and there, I realized these same things I had so failed at cooking and baking had a common bond: I'd had an electric stove in every place I'd lived in my early adult years.
Later on, I moved into a house with a gas stove and whaddya know? All those dishes weren't such big failures, anymore!
Going from electric heat to gas was like night and day!! It took some learning, but it was an immediate improvement. (My Italian Grandma also had a gas stove… just for reference 😁)
BUT THEN!!
Five years ago, I moved into a cottage in north/central Michigan that has a 5-burner, beastly PROPANE stove! 😱
I'm not gonna lie; it scared me for a good, long time…and kinda still does🙄 (I was raised a big city girl…)
And it took me A LONG TIME to get used to this beast, because its heat was SO DIFFERENT than both the electric and regular gas stove.
It burns WAY more hot and ferociously! Boy howdy!! 🔥
But now that I've gotten used to it, I wouldn't trade it for the world and I swear everything now tastes as good or even better than my Grandma's! 🤫 🤐
Matteo, is Chris a sibling? Can we see him? Is he as hot as you? Please don't show us a photo of Nick!
8:16 Can Mateo or his family react to another one of Nick’s attempt of cooking lasagna, or something like that. It was a great first audition for the Worst Cooks of America.
Spaghetti bolognese and lasagna for me. 🍝
Love the video, thank you Matteo, please do more about your trips to Italy, would love that, even your short bit on Venice made me think i actuslly saw it!

Can we get a video of Chris cooking one of the pasta dishes from Matteos book
Can't wait
Please do a shapes tier list
Fire makes allllllll the difference!
The way I ran to your website to buy tickets for your Australian tour, only to find out you're not touring Perth! Australia is not just Melbourne-Sydney-Brisbane 🥲 please add Perth and Adelaide as well at least! The South and West wants you!
Please add penne arrabiata! ❤
Spaghetti all'assassina and Fettucine Alfredo the way it's made by Alfredo alla Scrofa in Rome (2 pasta dishes you didn't mention)
Shapes!!!! Definitely. I have opinions.
(ft. Matteo Lane) ? Who else would it feature?
As limited-but-aspirational cook I'll wholeheartedly endorse 'aglio e olio' at the S level. I started making fresh pasta during Covid (always fettuccine – that's the only cutter I have), and although I've tried a number of different recipes – even carbonara 🙂- I always come back to just garlic, oil, parmesan, salt & pepper, and a little basil. Perfection. Friends have the same opinion.
I'm with you on almost all of these except I don't like eggs and carbonara is too eggy for me so I'll switch it with the gnocchi sorrentina, which is an s for me!
Dude you missed the most elite of the elite: Pasta alla Zozzona
I know you don't know me, and probably we will never meet but OMG you are so cute, I love you character, your sexy self and ways! lucky guy whoever gets you
i love pasta salad lmao. i love being able to open a fridge and just eat. and you can eat on it for dayssss. it's for us lazy bitches matteo
Oh, Matteo, how good this episode is! I was with California Pizza Kitchen for 21 years in a number of different locations and in different capacities. I learned a bit about pasta from our line cooks, and it gave me a great appreciation for the details, like using the pasta water in some sauces. Thank you for further appreciation. 😊 Cheers from Atlanta 🎉
Please make a video ASAP just listing where to get every BEST dish all over Italy/Greece/Spain/Portugal, for those of us planning a foodie trip 💙
i fry the moisture out of m mushrooms, all the taste, none of that slimy texture
Where the f is this camera man from? Don’t know shit about shit.

MAYBE THE MUSIC IN THE BEGINNING IS A BIT LOUD? Oh, good, it stops around 3:10 so I can actually hear the video. Thanks!
Heat is NOT heat! Cmon 😂, you're a cook, you should know better 😅
Puttanesca. Don’t think you could do sardines? But I loooove it.
