Why I'm Fully Obsessed with Rome's Secret Pasta 

Pasta never gets old.

That is one of the prettiest looking pasta sauces ive ever seen. It's got the gloss from the fat, the creaminess from the cheese and egg. SHEESH. I'm totally making this.

I like how all of the ingredients flow into one another - you cook the sausage in the guancale fat, you cook the garlic in the sausage fat, you reuse the fat to make the second sauce, you use the leftover ambient heat to temper and warm that mixture. It highlights how all of these foods were originally peasant dishes, and everything would have been used and reused - including cooking heat, as fuel was something that cost energy or money to acquire as well as the food, and most people would've only had one or two pots and pans.

Gotta thank you man. I've made 8-10 of your recipes these past 3 years. All amazing. Love the red pepper and Calabrian chili pasta sauce the best. Before finding you, I didn't even know what carbonara was. I'm 37. My new girlfriend thinks I'm some amazing chef cause of you homie. Big love and keep em coming. Imma make this one next weekend.

as an italian i’m very happy someone is really doing great italian food taking original recipes as better as he can

I really love how you set yourself apart by doing recipes that are not viral. Like, it's common to see some of my favorite youtubers all of a sudden share the same recipe. Keep up the great work!

My wife and I just bought a new house and I made this tonight as the first dish in the new house. Absolutely best pasta I’ve ever had. Love the videos and recipes you put out. I just wanted to say thank you from all of us home chefs trying to make great food for the people we love.

Showing when you make mistakes and correcting them is just one more reason that makes your channel pure gold. This is exactly what people learning to cook need to see. Not perfectly curated content, but real cooking, mistakes and all. Keep it up Stephen - fantastic work. One of my favourite cooking channels.

You're cooking video's are unquestionable some of the best on youtube. Simple, easy to follow, and good explanations of everything involved. Your video's from the past have helped me learn, and cook the Roman pasta dishes to where my mom requested my carbonara for Mothers Day this year, and a LOT of it was from learning it from you sir. Well done, and thank you for being so good at this stuff.

I can't put into words how stunning that pasta looks, just beautiful.

I've been watching your videos since the lockdowns, when learning about cooking was my main comfort. I'm so happy how your following grew ever since, you deserve the success ❤

Just a tip I got from an Italian chef. Cook rigatoni much less in water and finish in sauce a bit longer. 3-4 minutes in water is fine, add more water to the sauce, this way pasta will absorb even more flavours and will be less likely to break apart. Now your pasta looks like it didn't break, which is good, but it can break so be careful with rigatoni.

From another Food Lover, the passion you cook with comes through in.spades in your videos. My parents have cooked with passion like your for years....and thus the great food and awesome memories with family and friends lives on forever. Thank you.

I mean this is just perfect. Really grateful for making our food culture clear to the world!

I really love Rome's pastas, thanks for showing me this one - a must try!

I adore your 6 - 7 minutes videos, clean, educational and straight to the point. Nice fam

Love the videos. I think it's great that you show respect to the original Italian recipes, whilst doing your own twist.

I swear you are the best thing g I've found onyoutubein ages. Your k owledge,recipes, techniques are invaluable.

Brilliant, like always. Just a friendly advice: guanciale and pecorino are extremely salty, so be careful not to put too much salt when cooking the pasta

I really need to start working out but I have to say after growing up in a town with Italian food (typical stuff you find at a carryout restaurant), this video made my mouth water. The combination of all those things sounds good. I enjoy your videos, you do a great job producing/editing them. Of course that's why you have so many subs. Kudos man! Hope your success continues!

You aint just some RU-vidr, youre an actual chef!!!!! Great skill!

As always, his works are great. His passion for this is contagious. Thank you

This is absolutely the most succinct explanation of the four Roman pasta dishes I've ever seen. Well done and thank you!

BRAVO! As an italian chef, I have to say you are one of the very rare american fellow in grade to understand our cuisine!!! BRAVISSIMO! If I had to observe one stuff, I'd complain about the fact that you got rid of the guanciale spicy side. I really did not understand why you cut that part off. All the rest is an outstanding oeration extremely well done! Top! Arrivederci mio caro. Andrea from Roma.

brilliant! You have a very straightforward way of showing how easy it is to do all these great dishes at home. It's so inspiring, can't wait to try this one out.

I love this guy, he's so entertaining. Aside from having the"it" factor, everything he makes looks delicious. You can tell he's the real deal and can really cook!

I love how you simplify Italian dishes and explain exactly what you are doing and why

Made this for me and my lady today…possibly the best pasta dish I’ve ever eaten. Thanks for the recipe mate!

Pasta is one of my favourite foods. I’m really happy I subscribed to your channel, the variety of pasta recipes you’ve introduced me to has really helped me with my cooking!

This is a winner. We're going to be adding this to our rotation for sure. Thank you!

Millions of pasta recipes… mama Mia I never get tired of pasta Looks Devine … can’t wait to try this 💜

My godness, this looks like pasta heaven! Thanks Stephen, you always deliver!

Wait - I watched all your 4 core pasta videos and my ancestors just unlocked this recipe in my head. I've been making this on my own for years now 😂😂

What a great video! Really appreciate your description and instruction. Definitely going to give this a try!

bro youre the absolute pasta master! Even as italian i learned a lot with your videos. keep up the high quality and straight forward content! Cheers

Such a simple idea, yet I can‘t wait to cook it myself! Amazing!

Great job. You and Vincenzo are the only cooking channels worth watching.

🤌🏼 Get out of my head!! I came here to ask if you can do a video of pasta alla Zozzona!! And then here you are!! I’m obsessed. Thank you for the inspiration 🤍

Well, I know what I'm gonna be eating today🤤 Cooked all your roman pasta recipes and they were delicious, bet this one is gonna be the crowning finale😋👌

i will feed myself with this!! thanks man!! videos just keep getting better and better!!

Food is my life. Every channel I subscribe to is either a vegetable gardening channel or a cooking channel. I'm Italian American, most of what I watch are Italian food channels, and I have to say yours is the best I've found. You cook very traditionally Italian and do your best to hold true to original, authentic recipes when that's what you're cooking, but without the pretentiousness of some of the Italian cooking channels that look down upon anything Italian American. I like how you respect the Old World while also viewing Italian American cooking as simply another region of Italy but with very different ingredients that necessitated change. There is a big difference between Italian American cooking and "Americanized Italian food" and I wish more folks got it like you do. You do such a great job.

As an Italian…really well done!! Keep as close as you can to the original recipe…bravo!

Love your stuff Steve, keep making the videos

THX Love your show. Keep em coming !! 🤗

I love this recipe my friend's Italian granny didn't speak much English but her cooking was out of this world your style of cooking reminds me of her

Excellent execution of a true combination of flavors.

And now I have to make this. Wow Steve. Nicely done.

Steve I have made many of your dishes and can’t wait to try this one Thank you for sharing this

Cacio e pepe was the first meal I had when I lived in Rome. I still remember the first bite. Great food memory right there 😢

Love your pasta videos! Pasta is my favorite! So many kinds!

Hi there, i'm italian I had never heard of this dish, I will definitely try it thanks. anyway the way you cook the carbonara is perfect unlike many other videos on youtube.

This is great! Digging the multi step process!

Love your show! Learn a lot and it's not a sellout overly commercial cooking show. 💝

Props, it seems you took already wonderful Roman pasta dishes to a whole new level.

Thanks for the recipe. Im onto it. I grew in an italian town surrounded by all things italian but i never saw this.

Made this tonight and yeah, was brilliant! For sure making it again. Was really fun to use so many processes. The tempering of the eggs with the bowl over the pasta water is genius. My partner was very happy also lol. Thanks!

This looks great. Good job creating it. Will make this weekend.

Wow! wouldn't dare to call this dish filthy in my wildest dreams. ! I generally dont make dishes I see online, but this is just right up my alley. I will be trying this next friday using nduja sausage, because I have a beautiful date to impress and this will probably help me out. Thanks a bunch and wish me luck!

I just found your channel...I am so glad I did. Wow!

I absolutely love this recipe, will definitely give it a try!

Holy Moly! I made it tonight and absolutely fantastic! I was told it is better than our favorite Italian restaurant pasta. VERY filling, bit so satisfying. Surprised everyone it was the spicy sausage. Was suggested bigger pieces of sausage next time. Thanks so much! Wonderful!

DUDE!!! This pasta was incredible.

Oh my! I have got to try this. Thx for all your work.

Man it s an honor to see someone not Italian cooking these traditional pastas so perfectly. Unique 🙏🏼🙏🏼

This is spectacular. Thank you so much. My 3 qt saucier is my favorite pot as well.

I've never seen a recipe on here which didn't turn out well in my kitchen. Appreciate the work and the ideas. I'm still making your red pepper sauce. It's magnificent

Can not wait to cook this recipe.

This is one of your best ideas. I can’t wait to make it!

Looks incredible and I will be making this soon. Thrilled that you're using Made In as I love mine and will be purchasing the 3 qt Saucier tomorrow. Thanks!

This looks absolutely amazing

good job! and cheers from Rome ❤

I appreciate that you don’t waste our time with long intros and useless banter. You get to the point and show us how. You give enough info to decide if we want to dive deeper but you give enough if we choose not to dive deeper. Another excellent video.

My guy is the pasta 🤴 Cheers from San Diego California

From an Italian…really well done!! Keep as close as you can to the original recipe…bravo!
