I would choose the last one because it reminds me of a dish my grandmother made. She made Pasta ca'Ricotta, a Sicilian version of Pasta alla Pecorara. It is my all time favorite quick and easy comfort food! Growing up I never knew that so many of these simple dishes were authentic to Italy. I just thought it was stuff my family threw together that just tasted delicious. lol

@@winkleperiwinkle808 Okay, too many, but why? How did they originate? Why did they originate? Has that changed since the unification? Was it different in the Papal States? See what I mean? Until I started watching Pasta Grammar I had no idea there were so many dialects. It's really quite a relevant question because there have been so many Italian immigrants to the United States and, historically, most immigrants come from relatively poorer areas, which I assume in Italy means areas with more obscure dialects. I think it could be a really interesting video. I think, with Eva's profession as an Italian language teacher, there wouldn't be that many people better qualified to talk about it than Eva.

@@ps5801 A lot of the "dialects" are actually separate languages and not mutually intelligible with Italian, many of which are much older than Italian (Italian is standardized Florentine Tuscan.) Somewhere north of 20% of Italians today speak a local language at home that is not the Italian language, and in years past, this percentage was much much higher (closer to 80%). Italy is in reality a union of dozens of separate peoples who in the past had their own countries. Even subtracting the languages (at least 40), there are probably 13-20 dialects of Italian that can still structurally be called varieties of the Italian language and not a separate linguistic heritage.

from when i was born, each summer I go on vacation to Capricchia, a small village near Amatrice, which is the original place where they invented the Amatriciana. It is so good to see people around the world who are curious about it. Here in Italy it is well known, and it changes a little in each region (for example the bucatini pasta is not in the original recipe), but yeah I think it is soo good.

It's fun to try different versions of pasta dishes. I think if Eva were to create her own with ingredients she loves it would be fabulous. 😋🤗

The last pasta would be my favourite, but they all look fantastic. I love watching Eva cook it’s satisfying 😌

You guys are fantastic, new food channel obsession! Not Another Cooking Show and Vincenzo’s plate are awesome too, love the community spirit
I love Pasta alla Romana more than possibly any other dish, and I make it year-round. But because I’m an inveterate recipe tamperer, I sometimes add some lemon zest (or a small amount of finely minced preserved lemon rind) and celery or caraway seed to the dough. Or za’atar in the dough and sumac sprinkled over. These semolina gnocchi are so versatile that the possibilities are almost endless! Before serving, I sprinkle a decent amount of parsley leaves over the dish. I am addicted to parsley! I also divide the dough in half, making one half the traditional pristine way, and serve them side by side. Sometimes I make browned butter to drizzle over them. Because butter. If I want to lighten it up, I make some kind of fresh tomato salad (say, with shallots, lemon juice and EVOO) to cut the richness. I could eat this for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and midnight snacking!
Especially excited to try the Pecorara! I never was a big ricotta fan until I tried Norcina - now I'm hooked!
Love, love, love these recipes. Thank you so much for them. I will try them.😊

Ok , Harper and Ava, help me out..Being a new Grammarian, I'm trying to start learning from the birth of civilization at Rome...I've heard several food historians state that legend has it that the Shepards around Rome would always have a variety of basic ingredients which would allow them to make all of these pastas...starting with Gricia(pasta, pecorino, black pepper, and guanciale); adding tomato sauce to the previous becomes Amatriciana; from there, egg with pecorino and black pepper and guanciale and pasta is that ever-tasty Carbonara....and lastly, the fourth classic Roman pasta dish is Cacio e pepe - just pasta, pecorino cheese, and black pepper. But every single dish on this amazing channel is so mouth watering yet humble because of your ever evident class and intelligence, and the orespect for both the food and ingredients which you both have. How could or would anyone wish you anything but the best of love, luck, blessings, and good health? I certainly wish you the very best!!! ❤
Oh Boy these dishes look yummy! I was going to ask for your guanciale source, then saw the hyperlink in the recipe. Thanks.

Nice, i have some guanciale sat in the fridge, ill definitely give dirty pasta a go
Here in the noth of Croatia we eat pasta very similar to that version of carbonara with riccotta. It is so simple but yummy.
Still want to see Eva make Veal Saltimbocca it seems to have many regional variations all the way to southern Switzerland. I used to eat it at Macaroni Grill decades ago when they made actual food but I am sure it was Americanized in some way. I kind of make a BS version of it that tastes ok.
these are great dishes ...wonderful
Hi Eva Great video! I'd love to see the recipe for Gnocchi di semola alla romana. Grazie!
Always makes me hungry. Looking forward to Italy.
I made another Roman dish alternative, _zozzona_ for the first time a few days ago, which combines the features of _carbonara_ and _Amatriciana._ What a revelation, especially since I added black olive paste for that _umami_ factor.
Just found this channel yesterday and sub'd. Not sure why youtube has been hiding it from me... Im a foodie and splurge on cooking channels of quality. Love you two already. I lived 6 or so years in Arco Felice (NA) and evenings most week nights I worked for free in the kitchen with the Mother of a local guy we met. I learned SO MUCH! Love your wifes take on things and she sounds just like my buddy's wife-he married a Calabrese Woman! This channel brings back so many great memories, thanks! ... and gonna try to make that that Pasta alla Zozzona! I had it once and was awesome.
Looks and sounds so delicious !!!!
Going to Rome soon so will keep an eye out for these dishes. Only problem is we’re going on a day trip so any restaurant suggestions that aren’t too far away from the main tourist attractions would be very much appreciated. Brilliant video as per usual!
We love you guys and your show
I always loved the fresh pop of peas in the (bastardized) American carbonara. I guess this whole time I've really just been loving papalina! I like Eva's theory that whoever brought the recipe over got them confused.

I think a lot of it is more that Italians in America were from all over Italy. My neighborhood now, in 2023, is of Italians from all over Italy. The local markets make food from all over and combinations of things that never existed in Italy. One neighbor is from Campobasso, another from Bari, and yet another from Naples or Florence. I mention Campobasso for a reason... that's where a big part of my family is from. My great aunt grew up as a farmer in Campobasso and came to the US in her twenties. She took to "Italian American" food immediately because it made sense to her and tasted good. My grandmother was as well (her sister) but she died long before I was born. She never had this weird kind of "Italians don't do this" attitude I see in much of the cooking KZread videos. That said, she thought things like margarine and Crisco were just garbage. She either grew it herself or bought it from local farms.
you and mimmocorcione are my favorite Italian food channels.
