My specialty was penne pasta, Philadelphia and salmon. It is funny that when I met my (now) American husband who is a chef he asked me, since I am Italian, what is your signature dish? I said Pasta and Philadelphia. He laughed so much because he thought I was joking :))))) Thank you for this video.

Can I share a recipe with you? When I want to make a dish that the ricotta will be prominent, I make it. Put a big pot on the stove, put in 4 cups whole milk, 1 cup buttermilk, and 1/3 cup heavy cream. Bring to boil and the curds will separate. Strain it through a fine mesh sieve, and salt the curds to taste. Make the day before because it’s better after spending the night in the fridge, but save some whey to mix back in because it will get stiffer. I know that’s not the traditional way ricotta is made, but Eva if you try it, please tell me if it’s close to the ricotta you find in Italy. I love it just spread on good bread with olive oil.

@PastaGrammar 27 дней назад

That's actually much more similar to "American ricotta" (for lack of a better term), and we sometimes do the same if we need ricotta in a pinch but don't have time to make the real deal. Way better than store bought, but real ricotta is very different as it's a very lean byproduct of milk that has already had the curds separated through cheesemaking.

"Cream cheese", as the term is used in the US, means a very specific kind of cheese-the kind you know as Philadelphia, the classic cream cheese used to make New York style cheesecake and to spread on bagels. But in the US, we have different brands of cream cheese-Organic Valley, Tillamook, various store brands-though they are all the same style of cheese. There is also house made cream cheese (again, of the same style), usually available at Jewish delis, to go with bagels.

Why do you find it so hard to believe Italians use the brand name as the name,, we do it all the time here,,,, Jello is a brand name, Band Aid is the brand name, so i can see why Italians call cream cheese Philly or Philadelphia if thats the only brand they have

@videovedo36 27 дней назад

It's been the only brand we had for a long time, now it's not, there are others (I would say not as good), but we still usually refer to cream cheese in general as Philadelphia.

@jimbrennan1181 27 дней назад

I noticed this in Italy as well. Germany is fond of "Philadelphia" as well, but not as fond of it as Italy. Interestingly enough, this cream cheese is not from Philadelphia nor was it ever.

I can almost taste the carob bean gum and carrageenan stabilizers! Is this better than using mascarpone?

@sfstucco 17 дней назад

Agreeing with your POV, and appreciate the question too. I must chime in here to say that Philadelphia brand (or any other) used to taste quite good. It didn’t have the stabilizers, gums. Just the basic stuff that makes cheese. It had a particularly fresh, milky taste to it. Now it’s like eating wax. That’s the case with just about all food from the U.S., including produce and meats (& of course, all the processed stuff) it’s so sad. It makes me really sad.

@peterbreis5407 17 дней назад

@@sfstucco Spent 3 months in USA a few years back. Can count the number of good meals we had on one hand. We mostly cooked for ourselves if we could, but trying to find fresh good quality healthy ingredients with any taste was a struggle. Sad is a good description. My response to my brother-in-law's "Look at the choice..." was "Yes and all the same".

@greenmachine5600 3 дня назад

Those are natural ingredients actually and not something harmful like artificial sweeteners or food coloring. There are cream cheeses without those ingredient tho

@peterbreis5407 3 дня назад

@@greenmachine5600 Name them. Carrageenan stabilisers are extracted from seaweed. They are used in Ice Creams to give a smoother jelly like consistency. That is a physical not a nutritional or flavour purpose. What Americans call "mouth feel" because their tastebuds have been decimated by overexposure to industrial substitute fats, sugars and salt.

@civilizationinruins 3 дня назад

@@peterbreis5407 Some cream cheese brands without gum stabilizers are Nancy's Organic, Sierra Nevada, Gina Marie, and Snofrisk Goat Cream Cheese. The only stabilizer/thickener used in most other regular cream cheese (including Kraft Philadelphia Cream Cheese) is locust bean (carob) gum (no carrageenan in the majority of products) It's completely plant-based, high in fiber, and might lower cholesterol and blood sugar. The only possible negative effects are allergies (which can happen with literally any product) and a slowing of gastric emptying (which could be a positive in certain people). I don't see why the addition of locust bean gum would be a problem for you. And at least it tastes pleasant, unlike the potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate preservatives added to so many items imported into the US from Europe and Asia.

@beardoodle9835 5 дней назад

I looove using cream cheese in pasta sauce! It melts down beautifully, and it keeps in the fridge longer than heavy cream. I've even used it in ravioli filling in a pinch (but, I always also add Parmesan for the beautiful flavor)😂. It's actually great as part of of a charcuterie/antipasto platter if you spread some kind of tangy/savory/spicy sauce or preserves or pickle over it. I actually am going to snack on some tonight with spicy Sri Lankan chutney on top, with pita chips. Cream cheese is really versatile. 💜
