Absolutely wonderful!! I was smiling all the way through! (Especially when the grandson son asked, "Did you buy that sauce." Lololol Thank you, Vincenzo!

Meeeeee toooo! I love watching Nonna Pia making summer sauce! A true family affair, wowza!!🎉

[@DJP-ph7yj]

You should watch the Pasta Grannies channel. You will love it. Nothing but videos of Nonnas making pasta

[@rishisanyal8972]

The fact that these nonnas are on Tik Tok means that its such a breath of fresh air, I am glad you are seeing aspect on this platform that isn't one pot pasta casseroles.

[@vincenzosplate]

For me it’s a pleasure to see authentic Italian recipes on tiktok and not the many crap good recipes is normally see on there

[@TwoCatsInLondon]

“I add parmegian cheese because I like it” me too, nonna ❤️ All these nonnas are so sweet, I love them!

[@vincenzosplate]

Parmesan cheese makes everything better! ❤️ Nonnas are the sweetest, and their love for food shines through. Enjoy their delicious recipes! 🧀🇮🇹😄

[@lostboy8084]

​@@vincenzosplatewell as long as it is the real Parmigiano cheese

[@lauras6762]

I LOVE Nonna Pia! She is so sweet. And I think the reason some people chop the ends off the words and say things like mozzarel is because they come from Naples. My family comes from Naples and that’s what we do too. It’s like a whole different language! I love learning about stuff like that lol.

[@catherinelw9365]

Thank you, I wondered about that and now I know why!

[@jabbaa6500]

Neapolitan here and Nonna Pia who I LOVE pronounces things just like my grandmothers. Can't get enough of her as she brings back so many great memories growing up in NY. They taught me how to cook and bake. Gotta see her make "Pasta Fazool!" Vincenzo you are the best.

[@Cubannerd]

I think a lot of the American Italian recipes come from the lack of access to certain ingredients. Specially back then when the world was not as globalized. That's why some Nonas might have ended up using a different type of cheese or like it happens sometimes is a slight variation of the recipe that comes from the family and believe it or not, finding certain ingredients is either hard or expensive. It happens everywhere. For Cubans, the way we do black beans differs a bit some add culantro instead of oregano, some add bacon, some don't, etc.

[@vincenzosplate]

You're absolutely right! 🌎🍝 It's all about adapting to what's available. Food traditions are fascinating, and those little variations make each family's recipe special. 😄👌

[@Oscar-gq4ro]

Absolutely, my grandma grew up in the great depression, her recipes reflected that. Lots of dried herbs and substituted ingredients. She was a sweet lady, my cooking is better though 😅

[@aris1956]

@@Oscar-gq4ro It is not difficult to find grandchildren who surpass their grandmothers, partly because you start with the experience of grandmothers and then maybe over time certain dishes are modified for the better, certain recipes are refined and brought more to perfection. Our grandmothers knew certain things in their own way, but that way was not necessarily always the absolute best system. Also because in their time there was not the affluence of today and they were forced to do things with what they had available to them.

[@fishstix4209]

I wonder what "Italian" food was like before the tomato was introduced to them from America in the 16th century...

[@Cubannerd]

@@fishstix4209 I think there's a channel called tasting history that has some ancient Roman or Etruscan recipes

[@42218102742]

Watching Nonna Pia feels like getting a comforting hug. She seems so sweet and her food looks so beautiful and made with such love 🥰

[@loveisreal4296]

Thank you Vincenzo! This was such a cute video as well as some great recipes. I especially loved your reaction to watching every Nonna cook. Hope you play more of these as well as the many Nonno cooking videos♥️🇮🇹

♥️Love Nona PIA!

[@stevieg4201]

Here in the states, Italian Americans that live in places like New Jersey, some in New York etc, pronounce things without the vowel at the end, like prosciutt, mozzarell, manicott, it’s strange to me, but that’s how they talk, they also call Ragù, or Sugo gravy instead of pasta sauce, that’s always been a huge argument here in the states, I’m almost sorry that I mentioned that part, my family has always called it sauce, but in light of stopping the arguments, I call it by it’s proper name now, be it Sugo, or Ragù. I love watching italian Nonna’s cook, We all can learn so much from them. Great video chef. 🇮🇹😎🇮🇹

[@vincenzosplate]

Nonnas truly are the heart and soul of authentic Italian cooking, and their wisdom is priceless. If you ever have more thoughts to share or questions about Italian cuisine, I'm here. Buon appetito and keep enjoying those Nonna-inspired dishes!

ciao Vincenzo. Love your video’s. I’ve ditched all the others and only follow your recipes. From one Aussie immigrant to another, I am so very proud of your show. I was at first nervous about this video’s strap line because I’m a big fan of Nona Pia. So very glad you afforded them the respect they’ve earned from their life experiences and the hard toil in raising multiple generations of their families. All Nona’s are cultural treasures. Brava! Brava!

[@CathleenWithAC]

The ultimate Italian-American chef is Nonna Gina of Buon-A-Petitti. She is a national treasure. 🇮🇹 🇺🇸

[@metalhead9849]

I am from an Italian family (half) and I'd like to say I've seen so many videos showing pasta 'mixed' with the sauce (it ain't gravy) but that was not how we did it. A bit of the thick sauce was put in the plate first ( a meal in itself) then pasta, then cheese, so it would melt into the pasta, not mixed. Then the sauce on top with more cheese, preferably Romano. Topped with hot pepper flakes as an extra.

[@juaneliasartaviamoya966]

Mi piaciono moltìssimo questi video, hai mai fatto uno su Lidia Bastianich, Mario Batalli e Alessandra Spisni? Il loro civo sembra meraviglioso ma li fanno in maniera diversa uno dall'altro... alla fine è sempre buono ❤

Thank you for all of your amazing videos!!! I just wanted to let you know that I included a small clip of yours in a double reaction video I just did and hope that is ok with you.

Oh, never! Nonnas are pasta perfectionists 🍝👌

[@lorialma2235]

Love to watch these nonnas. Glad you are reacting to them. I have to disagree with one thing you said though. You absolutely WILL find ricotta in lasagne in Italy if you go to the south. My family is from the Naples area and we always use ricotta- but never béchamel. Northern and southern lasagne are very different but equally delicious!

[@seagrey75]

Everything she is doing is right. Everyone who wants to learn Italian cooking. Should watch authentic Italian Nona’s cooking. The ones that hold strongly to their traditions and language. Those are the real deal.

[@lostboy8084]

Can you imagine that future generations will now have tiktoc videos of how to make it just like Nonna made it. It probably beats trying to read the recipes and sometimes missing a step that everyone should know but you don't because it is not written down. Quite approve of them and if I used tiktoc would follow them

[@Entropy3ko]

I would say, since she already put ricotta in the last dish, which is very moist already, she could use shredded provola or another young cheese.

[@anthonys5568]

Nonna's dishes are always delicious!

Vincenzo, we need to talk about bacon. Bacon IS cured, and THEN smoked, though it can be left unsmoked. The difference is in the spices. Great video as always 😉

[@moonbeamskies3346]

I want Vincenzo to comment on the revelation that Olive Garden restaurant chain uses grape jam as an ingredient in the spaghetti sauce.

[@djjd2011]

Nonnas are the BEST, aren't they? You can take all of the "twists" on recipes that current chef's use and dump them. They just can't compare to the classics Nonnas hand down through the generations. Thanks for keeping them alive, Vincenzo.

[@vincenzosplate]

Absolutely!! There's something magical about the way Nonnas infuse every dish with love and generations of culinary wisdom. The classics are timeless for a reason, and I'm thrilled to share the flavors and memories that make Italian cooking so special.

I had mozzarella that was as fresh as you can get, in Italy, not even 2 days old, straight from the producer. OMG I can't tell you how sweet, creamy and delicious it was. A friend brought it when he came for lunch And yes...we pigged out on it. Just that, some tomatoes with evoo and crusty Italian bread. Yuuuummmmy!

[@DougHoffman]

I remember the first time I used mozzarella grated from a ball for my eggplant parm -- rather than the store-bought pre-shredded stuff. What a revelation. You are absolutely right to condemn that pre-shredded stuff. It has no place in the kitchen.

[@60frederick]

Vincenzo, you look now younger… Could it be because the nonnas were cooking? Thank you very much for sharing your reaction video with us.

[@garygemmell3488]

3:12 Fastest way to get a rolling pin upside your head is to criticize a Nonna in her own kitchen.

[@stephengardiner9867]

This is like a breath of fresh air. These Nonnas whipped up great results in LESS TIME and effort than the "one pan" atrocities perpetrated by fools that think that their "hacks" are clever. Real mozarella is ALWAYS better than a bag full of plastic shreds. Black pepper is intended to be used and not just to fill a space in a spice rack! I buy both ground pepper and whole peppercorns as I do go through a lot and the ground pepper has no chance of getting stale. I am not Italian and, ironically, it was my father who seemed to have an instinct for cooking whereas my late mother lacked this and truly needed to learn how. This she did ... except for liver. That was her "kryptonite" and I swear that one could re-sole an army boot with her fried liver. It took me decades before I tried liver again at a local restaurant. Sorry mom, but this guy knew how to cook it properly.

[@christopheradam6967]

Absolutely LOVE this video, I think the Abruzzese Italians add baby spinach to their stracciatella soup. That’s what I do too. I also like so like adding fresh basil leaves because I like it, but don’t do that, do what the nonnas say please. Vincenzo can you teach us your Nonnas Stracciatella?

[@stevev6634]

Have you ever seen the Nonna from the channel Buon-A-Petitti? She is good, and her singing is quite funny.
