Watching Nonna Pia feels like getting a comforting hug. She seems so sweet and her food looks so beautiful and made with such love 🥰

Neapolitan here and Nonna Pia who I LOVE pronounces things just like my grandmothers. Can't get enough of her as she brings back so many great memories growing up in NY. They taught me how to cook and bake. Gotta see her make "Pasta Fazool!" Vincenzo you are the best.

♥️Love Nona PIA!

I think a lot of the American Italian recipes come from the lack of access to certain ingredients. Specially back then when the world was not as globalized. That's why some Nonas might have ended up using a different type of cheese or like it happens sometimes is a slight variation of the recipe that comes from the family and believe it or not, finding certain ingredients is either hard or expensive. It happens everywhere. For Cubans, the way we do black beans differs a bit some add culantro instead of oregano, some add bacon, some don't, etc.

@@Oscar-gq4ro It is not difficult to find grandchildren who surpass their grandmothers, partly because you start with the experience of grandmothers and then maybe over time certain dishes are modified for the better, certain recipes are refined and brought more to perfection. Our grandmothers knew certain things in their own way, but that way was not necessarily always the absolute best system. Also because in their time there was not the affluence of today and they were forced to do things with what they had available to them.

I LOVE Nonna Pia! She is so sweet. And I think the reason some people chop the ends off the words and say things like mozzarel is because they come from Naples. My family comes from Naples and that’s what we do too. It’s like a whole different language! I love learning about stuff like that lol.

My favorite channel to see Nonnas cooking is still Pasta Grannies. I love watching these 100 year old Nonnas cooking with the Pasatta that all 4 generations came together with big ass pots to make.

Here in the states, Italian Americans that live in places like New Jersey, some in New York etc, pronounce things without the vowel at the end, like prosciutt, mozzarell, manicott, it’s strange to me, but that’s how they talk, they also call Ragù, or Sugo gravy instead of pasta sauce, that’s always been a huge argument here in the states, I’m almost sorry that I mentioned that part, my family has always called it sauce, but in light of stopping the arguments, I call it by it’s proper name now, be it Sugo, or Ragù. I love watching italian Nonna’s cook, We all can learn so much from them. Great video chef. 🇮🇹😎🇮🇹

God bless these beautiful ladies ❤

I am from an Italian family (half) and I'd like to say I've seen so many videos showing pasta 'mixed' with the sauce (it ain't gravy) but that was not how we did it. A bit of the thick sauce was put in the plate first ( a meal in itself) then pasta, then cheese, so it would melt into the pasta, not mixed. Then the sauce on top with more cheese, preferably Romano. Topped with hot pepper flakes as an extra.

ciao Vincenzo. Love your video’s. I’ve ditched all the others and only follow your recipes. From one Aussie immigrant to another, I am so very proud of your show. I was at first nervous about this video’s strap line because I’m a big fan of Nona Pia. So very glad you afforded them the respect they’ve earned from their life experiences and the hard toil in raising multiple generations of their families. All Nona’s are cultural treasures. Brava! Brava!

La pasta fatta in casa, quanti ricordi ❤

This is like a breath of fresh air. These Nonnas whipped up great results in LESS TIME and effort than the "one pan" atrocities perpetrated by fools that think that their "hacks" are clever. Real mozarella is ALWAYS better than a bag full of plastic shreds. Black pepper is intended to be used and not just to fill a space in a spice rack! I buy both ground pepper and whole peppercorns as I do go through a lot and the ground pepper has no chance of getting stale. I am not Italian and, ironically, it was my father who seemed to have an instinct for cooking whereas my late mother lacked this and truly needed to learn how. This she did ... except for liver. That was her "kryptonite" and I swear that one could re-sole an army boot with her fried liver. It took me decades before I tried liver again at a local restaurant. Sorry mom, but this guy knew how to cook it properly.

I love watching these nonna's cook ❤ would love for you to review nonna Gina, from the buon-a-Petitti channel, she is so lovely, especially when singing old Italian songs when cooking 🥰

Thank you for all of your amazing videos!!! I just wanted to let you know that I included a small clip of yours in a double reaction video I just did and hope that is ok with you. I wanted to highlight what you had discussed about using too much yeast in pizza dough. I look forward every week to watching your newest videos and this was another great one!!!!

I want Vincenzo to comment on the revelation that Olive Garden restaurant chain uses grape jam as an ingredient in the spaghetti sauce.

I remember the first time I used mozzarella grated from a ball for my eggplant parm -- rather than the store-bought pre-shredded stuff. What a revelation. You are absolutely right to condemn that pre-shredded stuff. It has no place in the kitchen.

Vincenzo, tell me, you ever see a Nona make a bad dish? yeah, me either.

Can you imagine that future generations will now have tiktoc videos of how to make it just like Nonna made it.

Quite approve of them and if I used tiktoc would follow them

no he respects them too much to say anything

One pot dishes can be really gross if they get overcooked, no argument there, but when you don't have help and you are old or disabled, taking shortcuts where possible can be the difference between eating reasonably fresh and well, or eating pre-made frozen foods from the store. Some of those are getting better, but no one can argue that they are equal to what you can do homemade. And heaven help you if you have food allergies and have to rely on pre-made food! The key to any pasta casserole type dish is not to overcook anything before you put it in the oven. Just barely cook anything you are putting back into the heat, or do not pre-cook at all and rely on your sauces and the steam to cook the food. The big key is to make the top crusty and crunchy by taking the lid off for the last 5-10 min of baking, and adding bread crumbs or panko or cheese, or all of the above to help the crust get nice. It give important texture to the dish which can be lost in the other ingredients depending on how you have arranged your dish. Just make sure to season, season, and then season some more! For the one pot stove top pasta, the key is to add the ingredients in the right order to cook evenly by the time you have all the ingredients in the pot. People tend to put vegetables in too soon, for example, not realising how much faster they cook than meat. At any rate, I hope this helps to understand why these methods have become popular. People have less help and are more isolated, but they still haven't given up on cooking. May you and your loved ones be blessed with long life and vitality, and never need to compromise on quality for survival.

You got to love Nanas cooking. Every word is an education.

It is her way!

Did you buy this sauce? Did you buy this sauce? OMG , you asked a nonna this question... and survived... my God you are very very lucky sir, might be time to do the lottery!!!

I had mozzarella that was as fresh as you can get, in Italy, not even 2 days old, straight from the producer. OMG I can't tell you how sweet, creamy and delicious it was. A friend brought it when he came for lunch And yes...we pigged out on it. Just that, some tomatoes with evoo and crusty Italian bread. Yuuuummmmy!

Mi piaciono moltìssimo questi video, hai mai fatto uno su Lidia Bastianich, Mario Batalli e Alessandra Spisni? Il loro civo sembra meraviglioso ma li fanno in maniera diversa uno dall'altro... alla fine è sempre buono ❤

Love to watch these nonnas. Glad you are reacting to them. I have to disagree with one thing you said though. You absolutely WILL find ricotta in lasagne in Italy if you go to the south. My family is from the Naples area and we always use ricotta- but never béchamel. Northern and southern lasagne are very different but equally delicious!

Wonderful! Not a drop of cream in the carbonara and not a chunk of pineapple in sight! (No bottled sauce either!)
