I Can't Believe It Tastes THIS Much Better | Fresh Egg Pasta

[@lindapertusati7990]

I am Italian on both sides (Northern Italy and Sicily) and I found this video enjoyable. You are learning and that's what counts. It takes alot of practice to get pasta making just right. Keep at it and you will perfect your pasta making.

[@haleywagner3144]

Honestly it's the attempt that counts. I hate that people tend to be so judgy and quick to criticize.

[@tangocat4370]

Im so over “experts” and “know it alls” - this is the video I want! Hilarious and entertaining with a bit of knowledge! Keep making these please!!!!

[@Imjetta7]

This! 👆🏻

[@KsstheStrs]

Yes! And it feels like I'm part of the conversation. They look at each other when they speak and then look at us too. It's like I'm in the kitchen with them!

[@mult1coloured]

Screw the concept of experts, everyone's just pretending !

[@rebeccanisley8709]

Dear friends...watch PASTA GRANNIES!

[@k9spot1]

I’m not Italian or anything but if you finish the pasta in the sauce it’s incredible. Just throw the pasta and a bit of that salty pasta water and maybe some parmesan cheese all in a pan together and mix it real hard. The starch in the pasta water and the olive oil will emulsify and make it come together into a rich creamy sauce in no time. Really ups the flavor quota even if you use prego or something. For my homemade sauces I always make them a little extra concentrated for this reason.

[@epichomesteading]

Oooh!

[@xochitlpizarro601]

Loving the harvest to table demos! Keep ‘em comin!!

[@styleme3375]

Great job guys! A couple tips: Be sure to keep the unrolled dough ball covered at all times to prevent drying out. Also, I would roll out and cut your whole dough ball and just toss the extra in the freezer. I lay the noodles on a sheet tray and freeze them for one hour and them move them into a container. Take them straight from the freezer and put them into boiling water. Nothing better than fresh pasta!

[@epichomesteading]

Thanks for the tips!

[@onemoredoll5791]

Loved it. Next time get another bowl for Jaques! Loving all your new content. Im hooked. Waiting for the home tour inside edition!

[@miratroutner4356]

Seeing the sauce you made reminded me of the pasta sauce I'd make for kids as a nanny! I'd start with whatever tomatoes the family had, so sometimes fresh, sometimes canned, usually a mix, then in go some roughly chopped carrot, onion, garlic, and bell peppers (orange or red, not green because it would turn the sauce brown when blended) simmer to get rid of some of the liquid and add in your spices, then you blend it till smooth, and the kids would never eat bell pepper raw or even in a stir fry, but in that sauce they couldnt get enough theyd even just scoop it up with a spoon and eat it by itself almost like a savory apple sauce lol

[@matthysloedolff]

I loved every aspect of this video. Just a bunch of guys, not experts, showing us how they make pasta. I am definitely interested in seeing how you make pizza.

[@aimeevanlandingham3844]

For the future, you can use a bowl with a lid (or plate) for the fridge part. That way you don't have to use any foil.

[@4D2M0T]

Yep and you can also use a clock or phone to time 2 mins instead of running the microwave 🤣 must admit I did laugh when he put the microwave 🤣

[@waterisgold]

That laugh in the beginning 🤣 😂 😆

[@pbsjones]

That was well creepy!

[@italiana626sc]

This Italian girl loved the fact that you made homemade pasta at all!! You doing this and showing what you're unsure of, what may not be 'tradition', but it still turned out delicious - this is truly admirable and shows that anyone can give it a try. We love you both for it. 😊💕 And I always love the exaggerated laughter intro - so funny.

[@Bob-wx7qj]

The fact that Jacque still has his hat indoors makes me wonder

[@MSMAXIALE]

😂. Yeah, like he stopped in on a bathroom break.

[@targetedplantsguy9481]

Why would you take your hat off? Unless it's at the end of the day. I know personally for me if I'm taking my hat off It means I'm done and won't be going outside anymore, I'm relaxing having some food and going to bed.

[@marieknight9385]

The few times he didn’t wear it he was unrecognizable to a lot of people, I didn’t even recognize him at first

[@Nerrow55]

These videos are getting better and better!!

[@naegwut]

I like that y'all laugh at the beginning

[@brianl9182]

I love making pasta, was taught by my grandmother. Solid first go. Instead of water toss in another egg yolk and a bit of evoo. Will turn the pasta richer and silky.

[@marisa5426]

Jacques: Did you roast this? Kevin: *deer in the headlights stare* 'Is that a thing??' You gotta roast the tomatoes next time. Night and day difference in flavour.

[@FaithRoss2817]

My husband is 100% Italian so I had to learn for him cause I'm just a old fashioned country girl. I watched BUON-A- PETETTIE. She is the best pasta Nonna ever. Your video was awesome. I love watching you guys.

[@zenmanyo35]

Delicious! Next time: Please give the hermit his own bowl, even if only a hermit-sized bowl. 🙂

[@dylanslabach]

8:23 - So satisfying!!

[@bublhed]

Two of my favorite things…gardening and cooking! You make it all look so easy. It’s so satisfying to be able to have almost everything home grown. I love these videos.

[@StormWarningMom]

Haven't even watched it yet and I'm looking forward to seeing what shenanigans you guys come up with

[@StormWarningMom]

Annnd now I'm hungry 😆

[@authorcharlieboring]

My wife is from Northern Italy and we make a pasta dish I have not found anywhere else. We call it "Lasanione." The pasta is made in a similar fashion as you used; but we roll it out into an oval shape about the thickness of a flat noodle. On top sprinkle a little nutmeg. Then spread cooked spinach over it. We also make a homemade meat sauce and spread that over it and over it all with mozzarella cheese. Roll it into a strudel-like shape and wrap/tie it up in a cheese cloth. Boil in salt water for about 45 minutes; slice; place in plate; cover with meat sauce and serve.

[@justanotherwhitewoman]

thank you I love seeing what you make with all your homegrown food

[@Elveaworld]

I’m Italian and I’ve never made pasta from scratch (at least not this kind) so I guess technically you’re more Italian than me, now. Congrats, I stan! 😂

[@ZackT510]

“Not Another Cooking Show” is a great channel on KZbin to learn the basics of how to cook pasta. Also look up Kenji Lopez for any other culinary questions, man is a food science genius

[@RiannaNicole]

I am enjoying this top notch content! I started here with garden "how to's" and now I get the food recipes as well?! What more could I ask for?

[@wdsjrmd1]

i learn something every time i watch you guys. ive never made pasta but this weekend im going to give it a try. thanks

[@Jamiesonlindley]

Whenever I see you guys interact with each other all my mind says on repeat is “what a couple of adorable dorks”

[@madelynr14]

Gotta watch/rewatch Chef to learn the most amazing pasta recipe ever. Homegrown garlic, parsley, even some cherry tomatoes added, in olive oil is alll you need on those noodz. Looks great!

[@narinthebeardedalien2994]

appliance tech tip: don't run the microwave empty. it overheats the magnetron ( the part that produces the microwaves. however, most microwaves have a 'timer' button you can hit and just turn it into a timer :)

[@kariw.160]

You inspired me. I just bought a new kitchen aid mixer (on sale at Sams club) and all the attachments needed to do this at home! 😍

[@buckeyethor]

I took a pasta making class once. It’s amazing how different the water quantity can be based on humidity. It’s all about the way it looks and feels. I learned a lot watching Becky from Acre Homestead. She’s got pasta making down!

[@epichomesteading]

Oh I believe it!

[@acatinthegarden]

When you said “If you are of Italian descent… if you have a Nonna…” I felt attacked 😂 but don’t worry not offended! I love that you’re making your own pasta!

[@Fromwythn]

I love when you guys cook together! Super entertaining and funny

[@preparingforretirement]

I used to make larger batches and lay it over the backs of the table chairs... pasta hanging everywhere. You did great for your first time! The easiest IMO is ravioli and you can REALLY have fun with the sauces.

[@sheleadawells9498]

Coolest episode guys! I want to make this with my girls as our mommy and me project. Thank you pasta boys!

[@robadr13]

Totally with you on the homemade pasta. I started making it about a year ago - basic recipe of 100 grams of flour to one egg - and it is so easy and totally addictive. I'm generally sceptical of the whole 'countertop appliance' mania, but a stand mixer is very much worth it if you love pasta (or bread), and the pasta attachments are expensive but worth it. The recipe I follow is boiling for two minutes boiling, followed by another couple of minutes sautéing in a non-stick pan with some olive oil & garlic. I usually finish it with just salt, pepper, & good parmesan. It's....amazing. For years I've read that quality Italian dried pasta is 'as good as homemade'. It's just not true. I'm curious now to try a version with higher egg content. Pizza?? Totally recommend Kenji's cast iron pan method. I use my usual bread dough recipe for the crust, but the way he uses the cast iron pan seems to result in a 'home style' type of pizza that is consistently foolproof and delicious. I always have right-sized balls of pizza dough in the freezer now, for use on short notice. Another recent addiction is 'microwave oven potato chips'. It sounds ridiculous (and maybe disgusting?), but it actually works. YT has many videos, all with basically the same process. Set aside 15 minutes one day and try it. 🙂

[@chelseajones4141]

I love that standard of Italian apologies across the internet anytime pasta is involved. 😅 🍝 Yay! So excited about your pasta ventures!!!

[@moonrilnonloso2709]

italian here! Thoroughly enjoyed the process 😂 Great job, soon you will be one of us! I know that we can be harsh when judging but when you try the "real" good stuff, properly made, it's difficult to go back! 😉

[@uppanadam74]

That just made me hungry and wanting too use the basil in the garden!!

[@babesandbookishdelightskas8318]

The pasta boys! Love it! I’ve had so much fun watching your egg journey. I got my hens at pretty much the same time and they are starting to produce great. Bring on all the chicken and egg content 🙌 thank you for all you do!!

[@teedub1990]

I had fun watching this. Also, you probably have everything you need in the garden to make an eggplant parmesan or ratatouille. Every summer I make Andy at Bon appetite's ratatouille with my own garden harvest along with my own twists and turns.

[@bravowhiskey4684]

My youngest batch of hens started laying in the last week. Today I got a mini egg and a giant egg that looked like a duck laid it. 😂 They’ll even out in time. I just add an extra if I use the small ones to bake.

[@rhodealexandre6583]

Someone is getting better and more confident at cooking 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@jeannamcgregor9967]

Until you eat it the same day the dough was made, you have no idea how melt-in-your- mouth delicious fresh pasta can be!

[@FruitofSilence]

Whoa ….where did you get that three-tiered countertop egg holder????

[@epichomesteading]

Etsy

[@takishasallbeautyzone]

Fantastic video! Very enjoyable and funny, with some info to boot 😊

[@myllspicks]

your tandem always cracks me up! 🤣🤣🤣 love a good laugh! i have a 00 flour on our pantry and this might've given me a nudge to just dive into pasta making. 💕 from the Philippines 🇵🇭

[@phyrewillow6463]

Fun! Thanks!

[@mybelovedchaos]

If you put a damp towel under your wooden cutting board it won't slip on your counter top. It works!

[@PeaceBwU]

That was fun. Thanks

[@harvestenthusiast4519]

Really fun! But I think jeaq left hungry! Should've had his own bowl! Lol It does show how close ya'll are. I would never share from the same dish or utensil-the germ concept gets to me. 🤷🏼‍♀️💖

[@freeman4755]

As a fellow non-Italian, it looked great to me! 😂

[@nancylafferty8362]

Full blooded Italian here and I had to watch through half covered eyes!🤣🤣🤣 But…… good for you guys!!! I did laugh me ass off! Keep working on it!!!

[@epichomesteading]

LOL

[@gardenprojects]

How did the Grenadero tomatoes work out for you?

[@kristinsenior5742]

The cooking content should be called Epic try’s in the kitchen

[@lawrenberghanson4401]

Nice effort! Question, do you save a bowl/plate of what you make for the camera guy?

[@lisagoldberg5178]

Epic! We need more garden (mostly garden) to table recipes!♥🍝

[@brandonvincent8277]

You need to put together a video of all the ____ boys intros

[@MsFigure9]

I LOVE when you guys cook!!!

[@FaceEatingOwl]

I'm curious about resting in the fridge. I always leave mine out on the side as it's dough, and you want gluten to form right? It's not pastry. So any thoughts on this fridge method, something I'm missing?

[@justapersontrying]

If you have a food processor use that to mix the dough! It does ALL the work and the dough is a great texture after! Pulse the ingredients for about 60-65 seconds and you’re gold, no extra kneading!

[@margakat]

If you have to buy flour, King Arthur is, IMHO, the best. Not only do they have great flour, they are 100% employee owned.

[@tristinlovett9712]

You should make gnocchi using your homegrown potatoes or sweet potatoes when they're ready. Another fun pasta to make

[@helen2061]

Looks great!

[@kathrynnielsen8367]

I make my own lasagna sheets by beating three eggs and keep adding enough flour to the right consistency. Saves on the measuring.

[@rhondagillespie6031]

You two are a hoot 😂. Your pasta and sauce looked good. I would eat it and I'm half Italian.

[@evelynrogers7145]

That’s ok, gonna keep watching

[@MMuraseofSandvich]

There is a non-machine pasta recipe out there that uses less water. I think the recipe said you could cut them with a knife, but if you want easier cuts you can use a pizza cutter.

[@restriayu1108]

Just hearing you 2 laugh at the beginning of the video...my head instantly guessed "PASTA BOYS" You guys made me laugh all the time!!! XD

[@carolyncarlon9870]

As one non-Italian to another…if your board moves around, place a wet towel under board. A bread maker’s trick! I miss my KitchenAid mixer! Time to get a new one. Years ago when I moved from San Diego to East Coast it disappeared from the movers’ truck. Somebody bagged it! 😂

[@Gardeningchristine]

Pasta has been a great way to “store” eggs and wheat for millennia.

[@MMuraseofSandvich]

If you want to try other homemade pastas, you should give ravioli or tortellini a try. You shouldn't have to use a machine, but the machine will make the process faster.

[@Christina-xc7on]

They could use other garden ingredients for the fillings!

[@irenesilva744]

You guys are a complete kick. Love it.

[@jtamsmom5]

I loved that you cooked for us. Haha. Keep up the great content.

[@adyscript]

Now do all of that with no machines/appliances. It’s brutal 😂 I’ve only tried it once, but homemade pasta is so worth the inability to use your hands afterwards.

[@dianecuthbertson2686]

Yum looks delish, I’ve made pasta once, hand driven machine so time consuming, but tasted good and I guess would be quicker the more it’s used. I’ve got the same strainer as you, I’m in Australia got mine from Aldi, where did you get yours?

[@sparklyjewlz]

Busting out the Old Time Hawaiian sea salt! Good stuff!

[@josephschaumberg4136]

Thanks

[@hanolalaith11]

Fresh pasta is SO WORTH the little bit of extra effort! And then you can dry the pasta you made!

[@kermitdafrog444]

Ravioli w squash or spinich

[@domesti-city]

Having grown up with all the women in my (non-Italian) family hand-cutting homemade noodles, I had to laugh at the remark about cutting them by hand. We hung ours to dry on our oven racks. However it shapes up, homemade pasta is the best! You guys did great!

[@jozancanaro3327]

Great job making pasta! No tears, no calls to your Italian aunt..

[@josiewyant2611]

I’m loving the cooking content!!!!

[@LogBaseTwo]

Fresh pasta is a great use of fresh eggs. 1 tip though, don't poor the pasta into the strainer. If you do, all the raw mushy flour that was coating the pasta will now be on top of it. Use a small strainer with a handle to scoop it out of the water.

[@sfan2767]

If you think some of those eggs are small; you should see the first egg our silkie laid. It weighs 18 grams. Our non-silkies also are all over the place right now; which makes using them a fun challenge.

[@cortneynichols8537]

It blows my mind seeing people use King Arthur Flour. They are 20 minutes from me and I always forget how massive they are ❤

[@adrianneporta8032]

YASSS PASTA BOIS!! These viking heathens ❤️ fresh pasta 😋

[@Heatily]

Homeade pasta with a good sauce is hard to beat!

[@KnittingmommyArts]

Great job, guys! Loved the video. Watching the two of you stumbling your way around the kitchen is much better than watching the so-called experts. :)

[@epichomesteading]

Glad to hear!

[@none-ya-dam821]

Y’all should have ate it like Lady and the Tramp

[@tangocat4370]

So my question is where’s Why isn’t there 2 servings made? 😂

[@creative227]

If you put a slightly damp paper towel under your board it won’t slide. Also, you could have just gone to kneading with a little flour when it was a little too wet. I’m not Italian but I have been making fresh pasta for decades. Next you can make spinach pasta!

[@paulgaras2606]

Also, dude has been growing tomatoes for like 10 years and this is the first time he’s made sauce???!!

[@terry902]

How about a zoodles stir fry episode? I have three zucchini plants and am running out of takers and recipes… 🤷‍♀️

[@myurbangarden7695]

You did very good.

Love you two together, but always feel so bad for Jacques! You should have made him his own bowl!
