Alison Makes Lemon Pepper Pasta in Her New Kitchen | Home Movies with Alison Roman

Home Movies is BACK, and we’re so glad to be here. After three gorgeous years of “Season 1,” it’s time for SEASON 2. New kitchen, new vibe, because evolution is necessary and we love growth. There is a new groove to be found, and we are so grateful for you sticking around on this journey.
Anyway, the recipe today is a Lemon Pepper Pasta with Browned Butter. Part cacio e pepe, part pasta al limone, all pantry pasta. Sure, most pastas I make are pantry pastas, but this silky, luxurious, lemony number is the ultimate “I can’t believe this came from only that” recipe-my favorite way to cook. You’ve probably already got the basics on-hand: butter, red pepper flakes, black pepper, lemon zest, and cheese. Once you add perfectly al dente pasta (this is key!) and coax everything to meld in the pan with a little tossing, it gets saucy and glossy, two of the finest things in life. Because this is a complete meal, there is, of course a little side of blanched broccoli and peas tossed with garlic and lemon. Kind of a salad, if you think about it?

The vibe is more serious than I expected. The editing is so different. Thank you David + Team, you will be missed.

[@soehren1]

She‘s a Stepford wife now.

[@Meggs23]

Yah, these videos were such a fun exploration of food. I'm missing the funny. It was the best I've seen and I watch a TON of cooking videos. Hope this evolves with the funny that made it so good.

[@colettearmstrong1484]

so stiff :( I miss the playfulness

[@soyluzcastillo]

@@colettearmstrong1484 the thing is shes still kinda sassy and funny but without the editing it just doesnt feel the same, its kinda empty.

We will miss you David and Dan

Would have loved an update on their leaving since they were integral to the show... in this video, in the newsletter? Maybe I missed it?...

[@Laura-lq9vk]

[@adelldazeem]

Yeah really. No goodbye video. I’ll miss their banter.

[@kaiju_k5042]

@@soehren1 Good lord, it's a free cooking show. And Teigen is even a bigger troll now that she was before and Kondo admitted to having a crazy messy house with 3 kids. It's called life.

[@tartpop]

Everybody: "I don't like change!" Video is nice and warm and good.

[@EL-dd6tz]

Gosh, I love your cooking and SO pleased you are back!!! But part of the charm of Home Movies was the back and forth with David and Dan, it gave such energy, I’m sure the new crew are amazingly talented but it was that element that gave it life. Also had such a great vibe knowing it was also in a similar smallish city kitchen, made the recipes more attainable and relatable in an indescribable way somehow. The new kitchen is gorgeous and I’m enjoying the 90’s feels but dare I say it it feels like it’s been done before? Home Movies was so fresh and vibrant and new. Will of course always watch and support (especially any and all pasta dishes obv) can’t wait to see the rest of the series but just a two cents.

[@Meggs23]

Could not agree more. Happy to support growth but this seems a copy of hundreds of cooking videos instead of the wonderfully unique and funny viewpoint it has been up til now.

[@Jess.-.]

I know what you mean and I did enjoy the back and forth. I do think that it took time to build that rapport, and that it is Alison’s natural personality that brings that out in people, so I am confident that as this new team gains experience working together it be just as delightful. She is really doing a wonderful job despite the major changes that she has experienced, which I suspect has given her a limited set of choices in the production of her show. Whatever the case may be, I am excited to watch the coming videos and I am grateful that she has put in the effort to make something beautiful for us to watch and learn from.

[@EL-dd6tz]

@@Jess.-. definitely agree!

[@tyrnill]

@@Jess.-. "the major changes that she has experienced, which I suspect has given her a limited set of choices in the production of her show. " Huh? Enlighten us, because I don't know of any reason she can't do anything she wants with HER show.

Change is often good for my creative soul, and I know that it's a process. I'll stick around to see where this goes. Missing the fun in this first one.

I don't know, but something is missing. I LOVE Alison; i would watch her videos for things i would never make, but this is feeling like every other cooking show. Ever.

[@ElizabethSchroeder08]

Awww man! I was hoping you'd bring back David and Dan, but I appreciate the need to grow and shift. It's a little serious and stiff without them. 😢 RIP 🪦 Happy for you and will stick around to see where it goes. Change is hard. Forgive us die-hards!

[@holly_kalae]

So glad Home Movies is back but I did find myself feeling like something was missing and I realized its because David and Dan aren't here to banter with Alison and I agree with the others in the comments who say Alison seems much more serious without the boys. LOVE the new kitchen and gosh I wish I could shop in your shop, it's so adorable. And I do know Alison got married so I'm sure she's moved out of the city and into a beautiful home with her hubby and David and Dan aren't moving in with them lol but they will be missed! Maybe they came make a cameo at some point later in the season? ♥

[@pipmercer3803]

Is it that far from NY to Bloomfield? I'm from Australia so not sure of distances.

[@holly_kalae]

@@pipmercer3803 its in the same state I believe not sure which city of Bloomfield exactly she moved to there's multiple Bloomfield's on the East Coast of the US but its definitely not just a short drive.

[@raine681]

I feel like this is Alison’s legacy videos now and I don’t mean that like what we now her from, I mean this production style is more for longevity and timeless. She’s weaving in shots in her store filming more of this new space and the context of Bloomsville… all a bit more rounded in terms of her brand. I’ll miss the old style, I will never stop re watching them and I love all the in-jokes. Thanks David and the team that brought Home Movies to life in the first place with Alison. You guys are a solid part of our lives. Good luck in your next steps 🫶🏽

[@sweetpeanmolly]

Awe…I feel like I lost my friends 😞 Sorry but the old format or approach was why I would watch Home Movies. They were always naturally funny. This is too serious! But…still love you Allison and so happy that you have a nice kitchen and cooking area! Maybe you could let your beautiful personality out just a bit more? ♥️♥️♥️

[@stevegrant6004]

Great to have you back, but I do miss a little bit of back and forth with the team!

[@dms0110]

I really enjoyed season one. I would go back and rewatch many of the episodes, and love them every time. They were so much fun. But this put me to sleep. I could not for the life of me pay attention. I can understand wanting to up your game, but where you were unique and individual, and personable and relatable, you are now like every other TV cook I've seen a million times. I am disappointed.

[@cvr8260]

The insane pressure we put on women to not change/age/evolve is right here in these comments. Right down to assuming the new content is missing the contribution that two men made, not Alison. Personally I love seeing you take on different life stages, each time with warmth, integrity and grace.

[@tomfondly5266]

Happy for you, but the vibes of cooking in a cramped NYC kitchen with Dan and Dave is what made Home Movies Home Movies. This just feels like every other cooking show now.

[@soehren1]

I hope this doesn’t go the way Ella Woodward took after her husband mansplained his way into her business.

[@tamiwithani]

Agreed. it's looking very basic now

[@brooklitzinger35]

“Is that fun and playful. Do we like that?” Dying 😂

[@rosannecastiglioni8613]

Congratulations, Allison on the new shop, new home, newish show. You were a godsend on KZbin during the pandemic. Looking forward to the new season. I know you must have thick skin, but dear lord dont listen to any of these negative comments. Grow! Change! Its lovely.

Love this! I too miss David and Dan and their comments and the casual vibe of it all, but change is change. It'll evolve into its own new thing ~ and the space, I mean. Pay no attention to the nay-sayers! It's gorgeous and genuine and accessible. So glad you are back! (ps, whoever you are: it's not that they are men and Alison is not great without men. They were PEOPLE who added a great vibe. Obviously Alison is the ride or die.)

[@JessicaCasiano-th6ue]

It’s giving Alison’s Nancy Meyer’s Kitchen era. There’s a fireplace, you’re cooking with butter…honestly I’m a little disoriented but I’m here for it 🫶🏼

[@lavenderamethyst6050]

YES. Meryl Streep should show up in a blousy top and pour some wine into some sexy stemware. It’s a total vibe.

[@elizabethk3166]

Lol this comment lives up to the username 💀

[@lisal9829]

I grew up outside Rochester NY, and now I live in the tropics. Looking our her window, and seeing the snow and the trees...really makes me feel nostalgic..and missing that area of the world. I really like the new vibe of your show..and of course, the simple, yet great recipes.

[@thesheilz]

Alison, I’m thrilled to see you’re back but I miss the old Home Movie edits. I’m finding the background music too distracting, the text disappearing too fast and font not easy to read on screen. Overall the chemistry isn’t the same., your quirk and wit with this too formal edit isn’t meshing.

[@brianferry415]

Giving late 90s Nigella, Naked Chef, Barefoot Contessa, and I love it. You can't do the same thing forever, so bravo to changing it up and moving in a new direction

[@kdeleon401]

I know it's only the first video, so we all have to get used to the changes. Definitely miss the guys!! Echoing a lot of other people what made you unique and special was the quirkkiness of the apartments and the banter with the crew! I think once you get settled, a lot of that should come back! I was in the middle of a Zoom meeting and saw this pop up and wanted to end the call right away lol But i've got to pay my bills and sit on that Zoom patiently waiting!! Hopefully, the crew can maybe come as guests for birthday meals they pick 😊 Definitely. Don't forget the roots. What made home movies...HOME movies ❤ welcome back!

[@kdeleon401]

I want to add that I do enjoy the ending when the new crew was eating your food and more of your authentic self showing!!! 😊 I think that is great when friends or crew is joining your food at the end.

[@Stevenpwalsh]

[@droman0120]

So proud of the progression on the show. The setting is beautiful and comfortable. Most importantly the love for what you do still shows up. ❤

[@ivana547]

Since Alison and Claire Saffitz are both in the Hudson Valley area, i think we need a crossover between these two amazing chefs.

[@sabinal17]

That would be cool. Also, people seem to forget that Allison has a right to move out of New York City and change the setup. David and Dan probably would have loved to work with her, but they want to stay in NYC. I live in Virginia, but would love to visit first bloom. But with Gas prices I’ll just have to watch.

[@ivana547]

Exactly! I moved from Hudson valley to Virginia a year ago and would have loved to have been able to visit the store but, unfortunately, it wasn't even opened then.

[@josieannecameron1383]

Yes! Would love to see them together! 🦋🌙🩷

[@treeodore4369]

I've thought of this before and for some reason I have a feeling they would clash idk why. Both are amazing though.

[@judyweinstock9972]

Claire managed to hold on to her charming video crew, Cal & Vinnie. Her videos just get better and better. I will miss Dan & David.

feel like it would take a while to get used to this. i miss the chaos and the fun which made the past seasons feel genuine and different from other cooking shows

[@johnkochanowski8194]

I love your recipes. They ALWAYS work and that is rare these days! The reason for tbis note is to tell you how excited I was to see all of the Rancho Gordo beens on the shelves. I can't find them in stores here in Nashville, but I've been ordering them for many years through the mail. They are one of this country's great artisanal products, and the more people that know about them the better. Keep up the wonderful videos!!!

[@bubbleteasaint5741]

Oh happy day!!! So thrilled you are back Alison!. And what a beautiful new kitchen and home. Congrats on the new season and also on the new shop. Our girl has definitely kept herself busy. Can't wait to watch every new home movies videos. Thank you also to your home movies crew for always providing for us top-notch production value videos to enjoy. It's always been a highlight of my week to watch them.

Best 30th birthday gift. Alison Roman is back and is in solidarity with how much better ice water is!

[@107613cw]

I CAME AS QUICKLY AS I COULD ❤

[@jefflinder4313]

Love the Lemon Pepper Pasta recipe. At first tried making it with ghee (healthier). But no, did not work for a lot of reasons. Quickly switched to the six tablespoons of butter, found a long fusilli, followed Alison's directions to a "T," and boy was that yummy. Accompanied this with an Eric Ripert salad with baby arugula, thin-sliced fennel, and marinated artichoke hearts -- this recipe appeared in the WSJ. Great meal thanks to two great chefs.

[@dragonflyinjuly]

Grateful for the original shows. I prefer that production in every way. Someone else said this show had a Martha and Rachel vibe. That’s what was so special about the original series - relatable. Burning pizza oven in the background? Most of us will never have one.

[@chirpXL]

Obviously she needs that fire back there because it is right next to the door. Chilly!

[@lavenderamethyst6050]

Yikes, get a grip.

[@petrabrown4232]

Get a grip on your hateration. Or at least don't couch it in terms of " relatability". That's like me wishing for everybody to live in a tiny apartment like mine in order for me to feel good enough in this world. When the healthy alternative is to work smarter or see a therapist instead of thinking that people that I don't even know have to stifle themselves to make me feel like somebody.

[@tracey7241]

The food looks great, but this unfortunately looks like every other cooking video that I scroll right past. It's missing all of the charm.

[@redloveballoon]

[@paulad9941]

Congratulations on your new adventures Alison! I’m rooting for you and excited to see how you and the new season evolve. Change is brave and good! I’m here for the new location and new vibe, but did get a little queasy from the filming and editing style. My unsolicited feeling is that like your cooking, you and your content are so excellent that you don’t need to be fancy and the new style is a little distracting, but we all just need time to adjust to this new version of home movies. We missed you and are so happy to have you back!

[@mrsreebz]

I agree, keep it simple! You don't even need to defend or explain. This is what I need right now. Just easy, no stress. I can make tonight.

[@lflagr]

All shows must evolve, and while this feels different, it feels like a logical next step. Of course it's going to feel more professional and grown-up than the earlier shows. Thank you as always! So many of your recipes have helped me grow as a cook.

[@mollyburns3350]

Love the cozy new set up and getting a glimpse of the new store! These videos are always a highlight of my week - so glad you're back.

[@itsmichaeltastic]

Love Alison and love the accessibility of the recipes, but the vibe is a bit off. Instead of Alison's comedic timing and banter with crew, there's weird elevator music as filler. Feels much stiffer around the collar. Happy for all of her success and will continue to watch and be a fan, but it's less of a "Home Movie" and so much more formal. All that aside, I will happily cook this pasta tomorrow as you never let us down for fantastic weeknight ideas to mix things up.

[@hannaheng6634]

I actually don't think this is like "every other cooking show now", most KZbin cooking channels are either all click bait and jokes or super serious with voice over and no personality. This feels grown up in a good way, here for it!

[@user-er9tv1re5n]

I miss bad girl's club

[@sarawilson9251]

I love Alison for her amazing cooking, recipes, and stylish presentation whether it be more relaxed or more sophisticated. Cooking is an art form, and artists don’t want to do the same thing forever. Artists grow and mature, and their styles may change a bit. I have learned so much through the years from Alison’s cooking videos and am truly excited to see this new side of her!💛

[@wewewewa]

[@edwardmiddlebrook5919]

You look happy, Mrs. Roman, and that's wonderful, as is living in a beautiful new home (congratulations), but I'm missing the playful relaxed atmosphere of your previous videos, that distinguished you from the rest. Will keep on viewing to see how it progresses

[@booksandwisdom]

So excited for season 2! Btw I appreciate how you take the time to explain why you do things while you're doing them. It gives context and helps me build my own recipes or improves the ones I already know. ❤️

[@jessicareyes4391]

It’s not negative! We are the fan base and giving her feedback!

[@TracyGishere]

Hello fellow Tracy! I so appreciate this sentiment while also wanting to add some more thoughts. Collectively, we love Allison and growth and change AND aspects of the first season lol. Everything about our girl's personality says she appreciates an open-minded, curious, playful, intelligent as well as *honest* audience. Allison doesn't strike me as someone who wants to be surrounded by yes men. With that said, constructive feedback and negative feedback are not synonymous. I haven't read every single one on here of course, but the ones I saw imo shouldn't be ignored especially when what Allison's creating is mainly in service to others. To a degree it's a collaboration with her audience. Some part of her decision making is based on the studies of her audience and so to me It's okay for folks to have a say in something that's produced for their viewing pleasure. Relationships of every sort grow through listening, acceptance, grace, transparency and compromise. It's a blessing to have an audience that loves you but doesn't stan you, trusts you but also informs you.

[@stacygarber7632]

Why did you change the format of the show??? I still love you Alison, but season one actually made me lol! It was soo fun and funny! Bring back the season one vibe PLEASE!

I love it, Alison! So cozy and fun and jazzy!!!! I love that with each video you’re more comfortable with your wonderful self and your incredible talent. I have to admit I cried when I saw the footage of First Bloom. It’s my dream to own a grocery store just like that and seeing a glimpse of it up close made me so hopeful. ❣️Here for the pasta and the broccoli and for you! Love you so much, Chef!🧡

Absolutely agree w everyone about missing the light-hearted, but oh so lovely banter with the previous crew and the laid back/funny atmosphere it gave to your videos. Also - can you give us more flavor ideas other than lemons, anchovies and capers? While I am most definitely addicted to anchovies because of you, i hope for more variety this season. Pasta sounds yum, but I'm looking forward to something more exciting. 😋
