Dear Vincenzo, I have been watching your videos for a few years now, but for the last few weeks they are all I have been watching... for a reason... My son Vasili was diagnosed with leukaemia four weeks ago, and one day we were browsing my KZread in the hospital and and he noticed a thumbnail of yours and wanted to watch your carbonara video. Since that day we watch you everyday for hours...you have given a lot of joy to a 4 year old little boy who is having a tough time. He laughs with your reaction videos and agrees with you 😊 Thank you for your creations and god bless you for keeping my boy smiling and entertained during this time.

I’ve been wanting to make this since I saw the video. Tonight was the night! I didn’t have carrots so I just omitted. Being of Spanish descent we use sofrito all the time. So I added a tablespoon of Spanish sofrito. I used Parmesan cheese. I’ve got to say I REALLY underestimated how good this came out!! It is absolutely delicious! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

You can never go wrong with too much pecorino. It's a flavour changer!

I like the patient, detailed but not demanding instructions for your delicious recipes Chef. Thank you. Blessings and peace

This reminds me of a dish I came up with after moving to Silicon Valley and trying to find cheap, healthy meals. I found an electric pressure cooker at a thrift shop, and an Indian grocery store a few blocks from my apartment, and so sometimes I would make a soffrito in the pressure cooker, then add tomatoes, dried chickpeas, and curry spices, pressure cook for about an hour, and when the chickpeas were about 10 minutes from being fully cooked (and much softer than canned chickpeas), I'd start making some pasta in a separate pot. Finally, I would combine the chickpeas, the pasta, and some grated Monterey Jack cheese (a stronger cheese like Pecorino Romano wouldn't get along with curry spices). I'll definitely have to try your version.

One of the best pasta recipes! Just made it tonight for dinner, and me and mother loved it, its so flavorful and creamy, and by cooking as instructed in the video every ingredient ended up cooked perfectly. Thanks for sharing Vincenzo! 10/10

I made this with what I had in the house: 425g elbow macaroni, 800 g canned whole tomatoes, and (gasp) dried rosemary. I increased the carrot and onion but kept the same amount of chickpeas (2 cans). Prior to adding the creamed chickpeas I added a bag of frozen chopped spinach. I finished with a little grated Parmesan but it doesn’t really need it. This was delicious and surprisingly filling. I will definitely add this to my recipe binder. Thank you! 👍

Looks great! One more thing that makes stews and curries, etc. taste even better is to turn off the heat and let them cool for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors blend. Then reheat and serve.

I wanted to try this meal for a long time, and finally did today ! It is insanely good. As I thought it was for 2 people, I multiply by 2 all the ingredients (except the chickpeas, i used 800g drained), and ended up with a gigantic stewpot, full of flavors :D It is a bit creamier than in the video, but it is probably because I've used more chickpeas for the cream than for the sauce, no regret! Also used vegan cheese (prosociano by Violife) and dried rosemary. Delicious Thank you for this recipe, will do it again for sure

Thanks Vincenzo. Very yummy. Before watching this video, my wife makes this recipe almost the same way. Same sofrito (carrot, onion, garlic, tomato.) only instead of the pasta she added almost the equivalent of potatoes. And instead of rosemary and bay leaf she adds a "secret blend" and lots of paprika. I will do THIS recipe without telling her it has rosemary and bay leaf and see what her reaction will be.
