Congratulations Lorenzo on your college graduation 🎉🎉🎉 Time sure does fly!!

[@francescamatthews4019]

We called my mother’s mother, Nonnie. She was from Calabria and her husband, Sicily. I took an Italian class and learned that the proper word for grandmother is Nona! I loved hearing that you are Nonnie. 💖

[@AngiesPantry58]

Oh my goodness your Grandson is adorable.

[@jullesadams1398]

I truly enjoy seeing you being so fond of your roots, and your family. It's a blessing! Thank you!

[@88pynogrl]

Lorenzo is a hoot!!!🤣🤣 Obviously the apple of Lydia’s eye❤️❤️

[@carla919]

All I can say is that this is very sweet. It brought me back to the times I helped my grandmother cook. Thank you for sharing this.

Those kids created the most amazing memories with grandma Erminia and grandma Lidia. That’s priceless!

[@bobdowlen3028]

What a delightful little helper! Loved his participation with helping his grandmother and eating the results of his work. Excellent meals!

[@tawpgk]

I'm already missing nonna Mima. She was so amazing and wonderful fun. I looked forward to when she will be on. God bless our nonna.

[@RatTaxi]

Is she no longer with us? 😔

[@Eagle00pr]

@@RatTaxi she passed away in February of this year (if I am not mistaken).

[@mariamarisi6154]

Thank you Lidia. For the beautiful recipe. ❤

[@imahick5723]

Thank you for explaining so well the what and why of the steps that you are doing. I love what you cook and you make me feel like I am in a good friend's kitchen! Love Lorenzo and your Mom, too!!

[@christysalt6691]

All delicious!!! Your grandson is just the cutest here!!!

[@traderalex655]

Love the idea of "hot spot" - great cooking chemistry! Great to have your grandson in the kitchen too.

[@mgcl9098]

I said the same thing

[@tonikpun9955]

That's so wholesome. Sometimes more than the food, the making of it brings more happiness.

[@shirleybezuidenhout2724]

Its good to include the children while cooking. They thoroughly enjoy getting involved. Thanks for sharing 👍👍

[@julieparker5029]

Oh Lidia, what a beautiful walk down memory lane with Lorenzo. He is a beautiful boy and I'm certain a gorgeous man now. Thank you for the wonderful meatball recipe. I love watching your recipes.

[@shanayabuckery3618]

I'm obsessed with this show my grandmother and cousins aunts and uncles always watched this amazing show she so beautiful thank you Lidia

[@MsMars.]

I love it when the little kidlets come in to "help." Short attention span, brutal honesty. So cute! Plus, here you can hear Lorenzo playing with the meat scoop and flour off camera...clicky, clicky, clicky!

[@bettycampano6603]

Love u Lidia. Im of Italian decent & have been to Italt 3 times. My maternal grandfather is Toman & Milanase, my maternal hrandm eas from latessa Abuzzi. Great cooking in our house. Your cooking reminds me of home

[@BuyAvonFromDonna]

I've followed Lidia for years, and I love her cooking style and recipes! Thank you for sharing with us.

[@tanishabing253]

I remember watching her and Maryann is the Italian Chefs!!! Jacques and Julia is the French Chefs!!! I from NY so they was on PBS channel. Her grandkids is all grown now!

[@johncipriano3627]

You don’t know how this brings back Good memories of my family during the high Holidays and all the Fine cooking going on in many kitchen coming together as a family gathering.

[@jodifinnegan4453]

Loved the ending! ❤❤❤

[@sammyhakimvlogs5608]

This Cavatappi with Sugo and Meatballs recipe looks so delicious 😋 Chef Lidia and Lorenzo.

[@LMays-cu2hp]

So so nice... I love the early shows as well as the currents shows...You have given me so many great ideas to cook. Thank you always..

[@barbararucci1247]

That looks so delicious. Yum!! Your Grandson is so handsome. A very good helper too!!

[@gumboyaya6]

Lidia I know you are a believer in the "Circle of Life" as I've heard you mention it. I had been watching your lockdown shows and was thinking what a wonderful job Lorenzo does as cameraman. On another show he said his favorite dish was one Nonna Mima made and even though I used to watch your show on PBS, I never saw Lorenzo when her was so little and soooo stinkin cute! Your family are so blessed to have each other and we are so blessed that you share them with us. Holding you all in my heart at this tough time, Lorenzo and Julia and Ethan and Olivia and Miles, Tanya and Joe, you Lidia, and the strong beautiful happy spirit of your amazing mother.

[@angelitocenteno9280]

That’s a cute little assistant you got so loving, vessels nice😊😊

[@heidid5275]

This is the sweetest, most lovely video ever. Your grandson was so small and such a darling little tyke! The pasta and meatballs look pretty good, too!!! Love you Lidia. 👍👍

[@imahick5723]

Wonderful, as always!

[@Donaldopato]

This looks so good. I know know what a sugo is as apposed to a sauce. The French say to "Pincer" their tomato sauce to caramelize it. It means "pinch!"

[@ccm513]

Thank you for asking that! I wanted to know the definition of sugo too.

[@dogsinolga]

Yes! My grandma also added chicken to her gravy. Meat balls; pigs feet/knuckle; chicken. They absorb the gravy and are so so good. The only way I will eat pigs feet, soaked/swollen with tomato flavor. I love watching you cook. I am 1/2 Croatian, 1/4 Sicilian, 1/4 Spanish.

[@patriciamarshall4884]

Your cooking is Fantastic Lidia. I love your videos for sure. I must say that you look radiant on this video (on all videos) your makeup is superb. You are beautiful inside and out.

[@janemulvenna9598]

I just found this channel and am absolutely loving it!

[@rudolfschenker]

My mouth is watering for that baked cavatappi and meatballs 😍🤤

[@ted1091]

Seeing Grandma in this video makes me sad. She was so happy here

[@yolandavaldez5256]

I really enjoyed watch you cook and your handsome grandson helping you with the meat balls I will make this recipe thank and May God Bless 🙏

[@lancelotdufrane]

She has taught me an ability to really, “think” forward in my cooking.. Lydia-Angel.

[@tuxedoneko9837]

Lovely memories 😍 Raw artichokes for salad??? Brilliant! Never had that so i will be trying this 😋😋

[@LidiaBastianich]

[@johnting673]

[@algini12]

This video must be far older than it's recent upload. The Lidia's in Pittsburgh restaurant she mentions is permanently closed. Too bad, as I never got a chance to go there.

[@maryjoeckenrode7307]

Lorenzo has grown up so much since this show!

[@Tota-gx9bo]

انا متابعه حضرتك كنت بشوفك علي قناة فتافيت من زمان وبحبك جداااااوإستفدت منك كتيييير🥰

[@dj1469]

Love it! I'm from Pittsburgh but have lived in Atlanta for 26 years. I will actually be moving back to Pittsburgh in the next 8 months! Why did you close the Pittsburgh location? :O(

[@eleni1968]

WOW. Lorenzo had good technique!! Wonder where he got it from??

[@IzdiProgramme]

I love you my teacher I'm Algerian and your fan i like your recipe when I'm 10 years specially 🍝 pasta mamamia now I'm 28 years

[@michellecinquegrano4095]

I've been watching my queen for many years this is sooooooo old yeah now you could almost guess my age must I say my grave&meatballs are award winning no shit Lidia is queen

[@jullesadams1398]

Lorenzo is adorable!!!

[@anothergoldilocks1077]

Fabulous meal. 🥰

[@susnorth40]

I’m happy you adjusted yourself in asking for perfection from this little go getter. That’s not how Grammas behave. Great recipe. Cut him some slack

[@ron4501]

I love this woman. My only critique is that I would leave the lid off the pot so the sauce has a chance to reduce some.

[@patmandolla1806]

I've been buying her spaghetti pasta when they're on sale at the ShopRite I love it

[@Netafied]

Well, I didn’t know it was an extremely local stores like ShopRite. I’ve never seen it in the southeast. Ever since the pandemic, I’m now getting used to just ordering 20 pound industrial bagged and boxed spaghetti at $2/lb from a spaghetti factory in Montana that was built beside and extremely clear, fine source of natural water and then simply brought next door to make the pasta with. There really is a difference between this restaurant style quality spaghetti and store brand pasta. You can’t even get me to eat Ronzoni or muellers anymore even in a pinch, as I never liked it, and now I hate it even more. Certain shapes of it are made from grain stored quite poorly at the facilities that the bugs lay their eggs in there for so long and then decide to hatch once they get to your house. If you do that once to an Italian family, they never give you an opportunity to do it again! I would certainly love to grab a few boxes of Lydia pasta and give them a whirl. Maybe even some of that Lidia sauce for even greater emergencies. It’s already frustrating enough trying to find Grana Padano cheese. So many of Lidia’s culinary enterprises are up north that I don’t think they’re coming here anytime soon.

[@louisechapman4009]

So much work for one salad between the artichoke and the celery wow

[@Dianochka0202]

О Боги! Какой милый мальчик! ♥️

[@truthfinder6246]

I was going to comment what a great age Lorenzo is and I just read he rexently graduated college lol. Wow.

[@patmandolla1806]

Is this an old video because she seems so much younger in this one

[@jac154]

I am new to the channel love your cooking ❤

[@sunflower6372]

I got to meet her in person she is so nice I was so nervous

[@conscience-commenter]

Lidia what happened to your show on Create tv ? The world needs your Italian grandma skills to keep the family unit fed, adjusted and loved .

[@christeenprice4428]

A lot of love 🤩🤩

[@يامحروسهبسيفشاطروسيفحارس]

Love u lidyia from Egypt

[@devinjoseph5591]

I Love Lidia's Kitchen So Much on PBS

[@Benny.13]

That’s a cute kid! You can tell he’s rolled a few meatballs already , lol

[@natewarrenfam8175]

I have a question is the natural suaged casing bad for you as well or no please and thank?

[@nancyseaton2099]

Awesome, I will have to make these meatballs!

[@josiegonzales2870]

My kind of recipe yum!!!!!😋😋😋

[@MuzikJunky]

Wow, we’ve been watching the show for THAT long?! Peace.

[@biancahotca3244]

I rarely use those ready made sausages. They are too fatty, hard on your stomach and you don't know what they put in their. Use either turkey or ground beef or grind it yourself. The American shortcut. It really cuts from the taste of the food. As Europeans we make our own mince meat and broths and it makes a huge difference in flavor when it's all truly homemade. Sugo, sugo, but can you please show us the authentic Italian meatballs, not the quickie American shortcuts that anybody can do. Milk is also used in the meatballs to soften the bread. Also a little bit of vino roso or vin rosu : )) as we say in Romanian in the sos and a little bit of sugar to cut the acidity of the tomatoes. I watch an Italian cooking show in Italia and they put brodo, vino and milk in the sauce. It made a huge difference.

[@kennethavesato3883]

Oh looks fantastic ❤❤😊😊 im sittin in a pile of drool 😅😅😅😊😊

[@Jimfromearthoo7]

Cheese cheese grated cheese ! What type of cheese please? Thnx

[@deedeeb9980]
