@@76_SPZL I love showing these videos to people who don't cook, because even he mentions how much substitution is acceptable. These are the kind of videos that could convince somebody who doesn't cook to fire up a saute pan and start throwing stuff in just to see how it comes out, then be surprised at how good it is and start doing more and more
I totally agree. You got cooks on RU-vid screaming "you can't use bacon in your carbonara, maybe it tastes nice but its not carbonara, come on!!!" and I absolutely hate it. They proclaim themselves protectors of real Italian food but its nonsense! Gennaro is the perfect ambassador of Italian food and the perfect ambassador to encourage everyone to cook good, healthy food with not much effort.
Gennaro makes me want to be a better person. This recipe is so from the heart, and its him just wanting to give people safety and confidence to make something at home with whatever they can improvise, its so inspiring. Grazie Signore Contaldo.
@@brunopaolucci6594 hi Bruno ,-good comment! Also I was ordering some medium -highish end pastas at my local fancy Italian restaurant, and they specialty of the house is similar to this dish minus the bacon but adding a few fresh herbs like basil and oregano,and thyme leaves prior to COVID19 the price. It normally costs $22.00 eating in (with table service obviously) ,but since lock down restrictions only allowing take-out at restaurants, it was only $10, but my point being that it is pretty famous dish and is so simple, but because of its rustic image that this genuine Italian pasta dish conveys they are able to charge relatively big $$ for a dish with relatively few/simple ingredients, same for if you were to have a cooking class with this gentleman like you said.
Kirill Trandin : well, you appreciate people for only the things for which they should be appreciated, no more and no less. It's quite something to be able to identify "just" what someone should be appreciated for - an amazing talent so sadly lacking with the inferior who cannot help themselves and bring unworthy values to their comments. Thank you for outlining the two items for which appreciation should be made, and serving those who come after you with a template for what they should be writing. Now, would you be able to help me with any of the issues you say I have ? But not if there is something wrong with you please.
James , i don't know; what measure of necessary would you recommend ? as for somewhere else ... are you some sort of self appointed sheriff ? if i were to go to this somewhere else you speak of, how could i be sure you would not be there too , with even more judgments ?
made tonight added some Cherry tomatoes that were on their last legs with unopened bag of tagliatelle use by nov 18, tasted fine i don't like waste lol
Gennaro, while staying home everyday I cook for my children Your dishes. We all like it very much. Because od that You became the member of our family. We send you big love. Stay healthy. Gregory from Poland
You have such an easy going, humble and joyful character. Love to watch how excited you are while cooking. Thank you for helping everybody to stay positive and healthy :)
Gennaro, I want to say to you THANK YOU for all of the beautiful recipes and teaching you have given us all, especially speedy spaghetti and corbonara among others, my girlfriend and I cannot get enough of. We only travelled around Italy last October: Roma, Napoli, Firenze, and Venezia, I am so sorry to see the suffering in your country in recent weeks. But your passion for cooking is infectious and is helping us to get through these times. Please be safe, so much love to you from us here in Ireland, "WHY AM I COOKING SO GOOD"
I just love watching you cook, you have never lost your passion for cooking and the recipes are so ‘home cooking’ like, there is nothing tastes better than that! No matter what you cook (and it doesn’t matter if I have eaten before), I get hungry though... Sending all my love to you beautiful people in England from Bavaria, stay save all of you!
Genaro just does not run out of metaphors. It is important as it especially keeps us going during times like this. I miss him shouting, "Why do I cook so good?" :( Also, how steady the hands of Chloe!! With just one camera hands down I think she got the award for best filming amongst all. Keep the vids coming!! All these chefs cooking from home shows how human they are (especially with Genaro tasting that cooked pasta with his hands--just like you and me!!). Without their fancy kitchens, we really get to appreciate their talent. Thanks for the inspiration and support!! Continue working from home like the rest of us. Keep safe xx
I just love Gennaro! He is cooking just the way I learned to cook from my father. For half a year i was working in a Restaurant, but I think it will not make it much longer, since they have asked ppl to donate money. So to make to ling story short, i wanna start something new, a more natural way of cooking and connecting, that works in these times.
JUST WHAT I NEED TO WATCH AT 1AM. nothing can stop me from making pasta now. love you so soooooo much! stay healthy and safe, God bless you and your family too! x
I watch Genaro when I feel down and I get better, I rewatch to get inspired and I watch the lemon pasta receipe when I feel the need to cry. By the end of every receipe, I become hungry and it fills my heart with joy. Thanks 🤗
Gennaro, you are a true inspiration. I never was a good cook but when I started watching your videos it changed something in my mind. I really enjoy cooking now and i always have a smile while doing it because I start to talk and behave a little bit like you for example by adding some more PASTAWOATR Lol anyways I love you Gennaro, thanks for your efforts
Gennaro is like the grandpa i never shared and cooked with. both of mine passed away when i was very little, but Gennaro makes me feel that kind of appreciation. thank you for everything you do! ❣️😊
Gennaro is a wonderful man. He always proves that cooking does not have to be complicated to have beautiful results. His recipes are always so great! Thank you Gennaro! Salute’!
Good job Chloe! Thanks for the recipe, Gennaro! Good to have a bit of encouragement to use vegetables even if they don't look like on the first day of spring. Stay healthy, and many blessings to everyone in Italy!
Omg, seriously, I'm in love with this video and all the passion you put in your food! Is no nice to nice your gentle and kind cooking. Really love to find out your channel and hope you have more (I'm sure you have) to show us. Love from Brazil!
My husband and I were suppose to visit Italy this June. Since we can't go to Italy anymore, we are bringing Italy to our home through your awesome recipes. Thank you Gennaro for being such an inspiration. Stay safe!
Made this exactly as above ;last week, the wife ate the hand off me more. Made it again for the kids and they too loved it. Really simple, really tasty, really fast too. Thank you, Gennaro. I only discovered you in the last few weeks, but I'm learning a lot about Italian cooking, flavours & techniques from you.
So educational and funny at the same time. With a focus on using what you have in your pantry, which is good for the planet. I love watching these videos.
Thank you for this video, and I hope to see many many more videos from you in the years to come. I love the way you make Italian cooking so easy and how you show that all you need is what you have in the fridge or on the shelf plus a little imagination. Truly inspiring.
I saw this at about 11:30PM this evening and had the great idea to start cooking RIGHT THEN because this looked just so dang good (as does everything you make, Gennaro!) Red & yellow peppers, white onion, sandwich ham instead of bacon, and spring onions instead of parsley on campanelle pasta. Salt, pepper, good extra virgin olive oil, & Parmesan. Unreal delicious, and done in less than 20 minutes with stuff I had already in the kitchen. People think that making pasta dishes is so complicated, but it really doesn't have to be. Thank you for everything you do, Gennaro! We love you!!
Gennaro is great. Even gave me a little chuckle when he went to add the olive oil and hadn’t taken the cap off. Don’t change anything Gennaro you’re great
Thank you Genarro! We just love you. Thank you for your message and for sharing your love of food. You passion is contagious. I refer to you as my Italian grandpa :)
Just tried this. Didn't have a red onion or fresh chilli, so threw in a shallot and some dried chilli flakes. Turned out fantastic! So quick and easy to make. Thanks Gennaro for a great recipe. Will definitely making this again! Top man.
