In last week’s video, we tried some “Dump Dinner” recipes that left quite a bit to be desired… We think hardworking families who need to whip up easy meals with little fuss, using common ingredients, deserve better!

That’s why we’re back with Eva’s take on some “dump recipes.” From one-pot spaghetti to a Mamma Rosa classic, these recipes were cheaper and easier to make than last week’s experiments, plus a whole lot healthier. Oh, and they’re delicious!

  1. All good-looking dishes. I'd love to see Eva's take on ciambotta sometime. 🙂 That would be a good "dump dinner."

  2. Wonderful. I’ll be making the caponata and the pasta dish today 👍🥰 my mum used to make pepperonata instead of caponata…..similar and just as delicious ❤

  3. Thank you for another glorious video, Eva and Harper! I don't know why animal fats went out of popularity, but it probably had something to do with the 'health food' craze. Funny to find out seed oils are bad for you, but tallow, shmaltz (chicken fat), etc. are actually healthy.

  4. Chicken fat is a thing. I know I've seen it in Jewish culture but someone on my local cooking pages posted their SHOP RITE Is now selling all the scraps of cutlets (fat) to be used as renderings!

  5. I have a challenge for you both. Up here in Minnesota we have a 1 pan baked dish we call Hot Dish, not casserole. We use MANY questionable ingredients, but we love it. Maybe Eva could make one MN style then make an Eva-fied version. Find one you think is interesting, there are really so many. I'd love to see Eva's reaction to an award winning Minnesota Hot Dish, and then her own creation!

  6. traditionally, all housewives had 2 cans in the kitchen that were specifically there to store either the bacon fat and the chicken fat. The rendered fats were used for cooking/frying and sometimes as a spread on bread. Jewish housewives call the chicken fat schmaltz.

  7. I share your disgust of American dump dinners, fake flavor packets, and disgusting Campbell's soup. I can recommend slicing cherry tomatoes much faster by putting a plate on top of them and slicing all of the in half at once. Your way takes far too long, thereby defeating the purpose.
    I often cook high quality, bronze cut pasta in an oversized skillet, very al dente. Drain most of the water. Then I add a can of diced tomatoes (San Marzano or Glen Muir fire-roasted), crushed garlic, olive oil, oregano, thyme, and basil, salt and pepper. Cook on medium for 10 minutes and test the pasta. It should be al dente. I add various olives and grate Romano over the top. One pan, 20 minutes, all real ingredients. Love your channel.

  8. Authentic Italian ecipes generously shared, loving this channel a lot 💚🤍❤ Grazie mille Eva e Harper

  9. I can't use a peeler either. I skin carrots with it. That's it. I peel potatoes with a paring knife too. My grandma always made sure she had plenty of chicken fat in her chicken and dumplings. I miss her cooking.

  10. Maybe this is verbotin in Italy but I would have added carrot chunks in that last veggie dish along with the potatoes. It would give a nice sweet tone to the dish.

  11. Chicken fat is usually sold as Chicken "Schmaltz". I find it used in pork-free communities in place of lard.

  12. You have a wonderful beautiful Italian woman that cooks like an Italian goddess. I'm so jealous. Better hang on to her. Rare find my man. Dare I say epic? I wish you guys would open a pasta gramer resterant…. in the mid south eastern us say tennessee area… I'd definitely be in for that shit. Heeeeell yeeeeeah
