I’m starting to realize that the Italian food videos are my favorite, all of it looks so good and you show it off perfectly

[@GregorBrown]

haha, yeah, thanks so much. Which dish do you prefer?

[@hellohello-tp4mb]

Lasagna is my favorite, but Id want to try the fusilli first!

[@catw6998]

@@hellohello-tp4mbyea, lasagna is one of my faves too.👍

Love Italy, love pasta. ❤

[@marcocito9269]

It's lasagne in the north and lasagna in the south. The recipes differ, egg pasta in the north and semolina pasta in the south.

[@claudiotagini]

there isn't a "southern lasagna", period. Just like spaghetti has southern Italian origins (Sicily, for that matter), all egg-dough pasta is from the north, as well as all stuffed pasta. Tagliatelle is an egg-dough pasta...

[@marcocito9269]

@claudiotagini dear friend, a simple google search could have avoided this embarrassing comment. There is something in Neapolitan cuisine called lasagna, and it's made with a kind of semolina pasta called lasagne festonate. I was born and raised in Naples but I have been living in Udine for 8 years so I am familiar with both lasagne alla bolognese and its variants (here in triveneto region they call it pasticcio) and also with the neapolitan recipe I grew up eating. I never said anything about other kinds of pasta, but I have to correct you on stuffed pasta too because while it's true that most of it is made with egg pasta dough, but sardinian Culurgionis are not. I am not so knowledgeable to know many other examples, but Matemathicians say you need just one counter example to prove a thesis wrong.

[@YouMeandSicily]

What about Pasta alla norma? MUST have in Sicily. Pasta alle Trapanese ? Pasta con le Sarde? I could go on. FUN video! GRAZIE !

[@maurobernasconi932]

Le lasagne is the correct way. La lasagna is a dialectal way to say, or sometime used in wrong way for indicate only a portion of this dish. Lasagne is the official form.

[@herrrorschach590]

isn't "lasagna" the single sheet of pasta we use to make lasagne? I always called it like this 😅

[@maurobernasconi932]

@@herrrorschach590 Correct. The single sheet is "Un foglio di lasagna". For this reason, an amount of sheets becomes lasgne, it's the plural name 😉👋

[@francescoarzilli]

Carbonara nel Lazio, Pesto in Liguria, Lasagne/a in Emilia. Of course you can find all of them almost everywhere in Italy and mostly they are very good 'cause italians can cook very well no matter what region, but if you want to taste the true flavour of those dishes I think you should go try them in their respective birth place regions.

[@andrewbarber9196]

Thank you Gregor. I plan to go to Italy in May 2025 and your videos will be a big part of my plans. I have been several times, but it is always nice to see other perspectives.

[@GregorBrown]

Have fun!

[@cesarchavarria6644]

drooling. Any recommendations for guides or restaurants in Bologna? (April)?

[@MrKastro65]

hi i want or have to say that you are the best in every way to explain everything about italy and when i say everything i mean everything because i know a little about everything what you explain helps people to understand and know you are the best greetings from a Albanian

[@GregorBrown]

Thanks so much for the kind words. And I appreciate that

[@frank_zapping]

😋 che fame! Pesto, Carbonara sono anche le mie preferite, aggiungiamoci Pasta al ragù ( bolognese) e Pizzoccheri alla valtellinese e..... potrei continuare per ore 😅

[@catw6998]

I’ve had the carbonara and lasagne (also at a Italian family’s house in PA) and plenty ripieni, vongoli, Buffalo cheese as in mozzarella di bufalo. Sorry if I messed up on spelling. It’s been years and memory not as good as I wish. Our temp home was situated along a canal and every once in a while the Buffalo would come down it. Didn’t count but there looked to be a healthy herd of them. Guessing 25-30?The Buffalo cheese isn’t too bad in taste, perhaps a little milkier and softer than the mozzarella that you would find in the specialty cheese section of the grocery store and yes, a little pricier than the mozzarella that you find in the cheese/dairy area (yogurts, cottage cheese,..) .

[@greg2063]

Hello! Nice video! In italy we say "lasagne", that's plural, because is made of different layers. At the restaurant sometime, waiters say "one lasagna" (singular) just to indicate in a fast but wrong way, "one portion of lasagne". Greatings from Italy! Ps: you should go to north of Italy during the winter, and try "polenta uncia" and "pizzoccheri".

[@liviaproiettigaffi]

Lasagna...Lasagne...I think it's pretty much the same. Va bene lo stesso, comunque non sbagli. Probably LasagnA (singular) is used because we (not me😅) cook it in the oven in a pan as a singular huge portion. Bucatini Greg, bucatini 😊 Bravo bravooooo 💕😻 Listen to him, trust Greg, he knows a lot!

[@GregorBrown]

thanks !!! you made me laugh.

[@LaviniaBianchi-dz5jb]

@@liviaproiettigaffi “Lasagna”è un “meridionalismo”. In Emilia ed al Nord si è sempre detto “lasagne” (sono mezza mantovana e mezza parmense, cresciuta a pasta fatta in casa)

[@Crackers2549]

Excellent video ...! My Grandparents (Dads Family) from Italy, Falcade Belluno, in Veneto they were Venetian... Actually my Grandmother born in Anzu south of Falcade.... Still have relatives there...My mothers Family from Calabria, I got the best of both worlds with that combination... LOL Love this Gregor, excellent video on Italian cuisine.......! Greg in IN

[@GregorBrown]

Thanks for sharing!

[@valentinis84]

A Como sicuramente LASAGNE!😁

[@Stograncaz]

If you can't go to Liguria to try pesto and want to try one from a supermarket, you should probably buy Novella pesto. They are a pasta laboratory from Sori, where for locals is where the best pesto is made, that started to produce and distribute to supermarkets around 15 years ago. You should find it easily in all the north and center regions of Italy.

[@pashminagal]

Gregor, can you seek out the elusive pasta alla zozonna. From the videos I've seen you can find it in Rome It's my secret mission next time I come to Italy to find it!

[@Positiveenergy68]

Tried Carbonara as well as CACIO e Pepe and amatriciana in Rome two weeks ago and didn't care for any of them. I was sad. I had some awesome Lasagne in Rome and some exceptional Spaghetti al Pomodoro in Rome and Calabria.

[@susannaanna1340]

In quali ristoranti sei a dato? Fa la diferenza.

[@giovanbattistafrontera4638]

Came in Umbria for taste trufles! ;-)

[@claudiotagini]

tagliatelle is an egg-dough pasta, totally different from the (wonderful, but different) pasta that is from durum wheat semolina. That wheat didn't exist in the north, so they HAD to add eggs to make the soft wheat flour (sort of like the "all purpose flour", with which you can't make spaghetti, but you can make ravioli, tagliatelle, lasagne, etc. etc.)

[@GregorBrown]

Thanks for the tips!

[@RedProg]

Carbonara ❤

[@Enriadero]

Hey Gregor, where are you at the start of this video? I’d like to go next time I’m in Florence 👍

[@ciaoatutti307]

A onorable mention (but for me personally a top pasta in general, top even for nice dinners or for Christmas) that no one talk about is ravioli burro e salvia, very simple but very good, specially if you got a good amount of sauce

[@simonadunn7168]

Gregor, I really must know about gluten free in Italy. What can you find out for pasta, breads, pastries?

[@GregorBrown]

It's OK but don't expect many restaurants with those options

[@allyson1691]

Amatriciana?

[@cristinacucconi7411]

Please 🙏 puoi dire a tutti gli americani che Olive Garden non c'è cibo italiano? Grazie ❤ , Le lasagne è così che si dice, e nascono in Emilia Romagna

I know this is heresy but I loathe Carbonara. Nmy Nonna said Lasagnya, Its one of my faves. I make it alot.

1 Lasagna, 2 Lasagne..

[@GregorBrown]

Yes, I know, but not everybody agrees on the usage and rule.

[@pile333]

Pasta alla zozzona!

[@susannaanna1340]

Penso che lasagna si capisce comè una porzione. Le lasagne è il plurale. La lasagna è il singolare.

[@GregorBrown]

No one really agrees on it.

[@susannaanna1340]

@GregorBrown Naturalmente 😅, Lasagne o lasagna ? - questo è una questione molto seria, e potrebbe anche trasformarsi in una rissa.😅😅😅

[@GregorBrown]

:)

[@GilbertoGuerra-kx6wd]

LasagnE. Lasagna is every single layer of pasta, and there are more than one (seven in Emilia) layers.

[@GregorBrown]

Italy is devived on this. 🤪
