Italian Chef Reacts to Matty Matheson Classic ITALIAN SPAGHETTI AL POMODORO

As an Italian, born and raised in Italy with the many and delicious recipes that my Nonna used to prepare for me, watching this video recipe is painful and disappointing!
I'm sorry to say this, because I'm sure the final result is good, but unfortunately this recipe cannot be defined as Italian. Italian food is much, much simpler than that!

Do you use a lot of Salt when you Cook?

[@Visitkarte]

NO! I use very little salt when I cook.

[@cajunsmurf4354]

Not at all. I let people add salt if they want more.

[@KendallsMom]

No, just enough, pinches at time and then taste.

[@pizzaishappiness7994]

My taste buds work, so no. Stroke, heart disease etc aren't for me. I can't eat pizza if I'm dead, that's a deal breaker.

[@matthewbrooks1589]

I use very little salt. Even ready salted crisps are too salty for me. I get saltiness for things like Pecorino like you mentioned. The amount of salt they used in this sauce there is no more salt left in the sea, it's all in the sauce.

[@reuvenlax4635]

Marcella Hazan wrote several tomato sauce recipes in her book, including the very simple classic ones. However the one with butter in it (I think she called it tomato sauce #3) is the one everyone remembers because it was so unusual! The story told about the butter recipe it is that in the town she grew up in (Cesenatico - a town in Romagna) her mother used to cook onions in butter to make a tomato sauce. Later when she wrote her cookbook she took the ideas from her mother's recipe to create a brand-new recipe where the butter was added separately and cooked down slowly.

[@EntertainMeNow]

​​@@vincenzosplateI agree you should show classic recipe to show the culture and whats more original and traditional to keep it alive. Something I wonder for example you mention sometimes to say permigianno instead of parmesan. Permigianno is in Italian for the dop product and parmesan is the English word for whatever is not produced according to Italian standards so what's wrong with calling things for what they are. English speaking people don't use Italian words they use English words. Same goes for pomodoro, it means tomatoes, so I can make a spaghetti with tomatoes and call it spaghetti pomodoro so what.. pomodoro which simply means tomatoes has no standard attached to it people can use the term and make whatever tomato sauce they want. I am not sure if sometimes you consider the translation or things for what they are. Of course the rookies won't know that pomodoro is a specific sauce in Italy but then again I am pretty sure all over Italy they do different stuff since it just means tomato. That's way too much salt 😂

[@tomparsley7150]

I almost cried, i absolutely saw me and my grandma, that passed away recently, telling me how to cook czech food and how to general. I definetly am going to respect her in my future days and do the same way she did. To keep her legacy,

[@amp71623]

Please stay true! I am English American, lived only in the US. In my 20s I began cooking most meals from scratch. When I made (and make) my "spaghetti sauce" I would shred carrots in it to hide from my children. (Just to add more vit c and because I love carrots). It's wasn't until I found you that I realized I'd been making sofrito! A very happy note in my book. Thank you for being true....Much love!

They were a little intense to watch if you actually wanted to learn a recipe. I agree 💯 about too much salt. (And sugar for that matter). I recently was at a retreat. The food served was already drowning in extra salt/sugar and I watched other people reach for the salt shaker. 😮 Vincenzo, your sauce recipe is the best. Blending the soffitto first has been a game changer for me. We just love it so much. 😋 Yes, keep sharing your recipes. I can’t wait for your book to come out. Grazie! 💕

My son introduced me to your KZbin channel. I absolutely love your passion for traditional Italian food. The added bonus is you make me laugh. Yes, we all may have our own take on sauces/gravy and it may taste fabulous. But it's not traditional Italian. I think with all of these professional chefs putting out videos and recipes they have forgotten that the most beautiful food is simplistic (and does not require a ton of salt!) Just watching the amount of salt they added collectively made my blood pressure rise. I am looking forward to your book. Ill be purchasing two copies. One for me and one for my son, Salvatore.

I salt my carrots, onions, and celery when I start sweeting them down and then I may add some(not nearly as much as they did) 15-20 minutes into the sauce cooking. They do at least start by saying Chicago style, but they should have that written in the description too.

[@vincenzosplate]

I love how you promote the classic recipes. It's fine if people give their own twist to things but cook the real classic at least once, to know where it all came from. I went out of my way to get guanciale for my carbonara just because you said it made the dish sing. I didn't think it would make that much difference honestly, but it did! Everyone loved it! Will I be using it every time? No. During our last camping vacation I even made an easy "carbonara" with bacon, peas and a jar of sauce, which tasted better than I thought it would actually. But I'm sure happy to know how it's supposed to taste, and I will go back to that regularly. Thank you for keeping the tradition alive!

Italian American cuisine is a mixed bag because they came together from all parts of Italy. You will never find butter in a classic sauce from Roma or Napoli or Bologna but maybe the family recipe is influenced by somewhere in the North, like Lombardy, where the climate is cooler and they are close to France so butter is a more normal ingredient.

[@vincenzosplate]

Vincenzo's Book......I will be snatching that as soon as I see it.

[@jaredfoster6817]

Vincenzo, I love your content and I’ve watched hundreds of your videos. You’ve inspired me to cook more Italian cuisine and do it authentically. I agree with you on the salt, should have used soffrito at the beginning. Now I know the French love butter in their food and Italians prefer extra virgin olive oil. However I want you to think about this for a moment. What are the French known for? Pastries, yes obviously. But also their sauces specifically a pan sauce. They typically add a few knobs of butter just before serving a sauce to add a silkiness and luxurious feel to the sauce. Makes it shine. Think bolognese ragu with a bit of milk at the end, it does add something and it can cut through the acidity. Now, adding butter at the end may hinder the sauce and pasta from combining, but overall I think it could add a little something to a pomodoro or a vodka sauce. Frying the onions in butter should just be for chili and caramelized onions which the soffrito with the carrot would have no need to add butter at the beginning.😊 I hope to hear back what you think!

[@vincenzosplate]

Thank you for your thoughtful message and for being a fan of my content! You bring up an interesting point about the use of butter in sauces, and I appreciate your perspective. Indeed, butter can add a luxurious and silky texture to certain sauces, and there are instances in Italian cooking where it's used to enhance the richness of a dish. As you mentioned, a touch of milk in a Bolognese ragu can work wonderfully. However, in the context of a traditional Pomodoro or Vodka sauce, butter is not a typical ingredient. The emphasis in these sauces is often on the purity of flavors, with extra virgin olive oil playing a significant role. While adding butter at the end might create a different texture, it could change the character of the sauce, making it less authentically Italian. Ultimately, cooking is a creative process, and personal preferences should always be taken into account. So, if you enjoy experimenting with butter in your sauces and find it adds something special to your dishes, that's fantastic! Cooking is all about making food that you love. 😊🍝👨‍🍳

[@vincenzosplate]

I'm not sure why she chose to dumb down her recipes for her books. Maybe she wanted to make them more accessible to a wider audience. Or maybe she just felt that her original recipes were too complicated for home cooks.

[@Timmycoo]

@@vincenzosplate I think both. But hey, what do I know lol. I think your opinion is more valid.

[@interpolagent9]

When I went to culinary school in the late 80s, all of my instructors were from Europe. The amount of salt they used in soups, sauces, gravies, etc. was insane. I actually lost points on my dishes because they said it wasn't salty enough. Personally I prefer herbs, and just a bit of salt. Carrots, celery and onions is the foundation for so many things. As for this spaghetti sauce, well, it's a step up from Jack.

Ah, culinary school memories! 🍽️ European instructors do love their salt, don't they? 😅 But hey, your preference for herbs and a touch of salt is a flavorful twist! 🌿🧂 Keep those foundational veggies like carrots, celery, and onions in the mix! 👍🍝

Cookbook?!!! This will set the culinary world on fire!

[@valcat6373]

When will your book be available. I've been downloading ur videos, but to have an entire cookbook in one place with photos of the beautiful dishes, I can't wait. Yes I love your sugo recipe better (BTW my friends make fun of me when i say sugo-non italians lol). None of my relatives ever put butter, gross. So much salt in America's cooking. I hate it when people just put salt on their food even b4 tasting the dish. The salt shaker has never been on my table. Your going to ruin my dish, you get up and get it from the spice rack. So happy for your success and can't wait for your cookbook.

A good pomodoro sauce is silky. Not too chunky, not watery, not thick as tomato puree... but SILKY. Smooth - because of correct cooking timing. Not because of butter. And I'm so careful when cooking my pomodoro that I add a whole garlic but remove it once a *hint* of garlic aroma kicks in. Nothing should overpower the sofrito flavors! That, coming from a non-Italian, me!

[@vincenzosplate]

You've got the pomodoro wisdom down! 👌🍅 Achieving that silky, balanced sauce is an art, and your attention to detail is impressive! 🇮🇹👨‍🍳 Keep up the great work, non-Italian chef! 😄🍝👍

[@sk-sm9sh]

That's the problem with butter, it masks garlic, so then they need 4 cloves instead of just 1.

[@TheIncredibleAspie]

He did Carbonara as well just recently. You should react to that one as well.

[@vincenzosplate]

I'd love to see more reactions to questionable carbonara recipes! It's important to uphold the authenticity of this classic dish. 😄🍝🇮🇹

[@CristinaHumbleHustle]

I’m even confused about the “soffritto” for a simple salsa di pomodoro. As my nonna taught me, it’s whole peeled tomato (fresh is better, or cans), garlic to taste, salt, plenty of basil. She used to add the olive oil at the end, once the salsa was cooked. That was it. Nothing tastes like her salsa. I miss it so much.

[@vincenzosplate]

Your nonna's recipe sounds absolutely authentic and delicious! 🍅🌿 It's incredible how the simplest of ingredients can create the most memorable flavors. Cherish those cherished family recipes and keep her culinary legacy alive. 🇮🇹❤️👨‍🍳

Vincenzo, here in Argentina (where 70% of its population has an Italian ancestor, mostly Neapolitan) a lot of people add some peperoncino chili to the pasta tomato sauce. Is it some regional thing?

[@vincenzosplate]

Ciao my friend, peperoncino takes the sauce to the next level, love it!

[@alixlacroix1795]

At least they didn't put some extra virgin olive oil in the pasta water 😂😂 but yes keep the tradition alive ! As a certified cook (studied at culinary school) i like to make my recipes BUT when it Comes to traditional recipes WHY do people screw it like those guys seriously? What I love to do in pasta Al pomodoro is using fresh yellow tomatoes for the sauce it's amazing but all the other ingredients remain the same and are cooked the proper italian way. Thank you Vincenzo you are the guardian of the real italian culinary tradition ! Love your recipes and your videos ! Love from France from a cook to an other amazing cook

Great episode yet again Vincenzo. I watched up to around 12 mins and instantly started screaming to my tv. The amount of salt added was just unreal. Please America, don't get yourself to end up on the wrong side of the lawn prematurely

[@vincenzosplate]

I don't understand why people like to ruin dishes and flavours. What is wrong with simplicity and freshness?

[@JihouGijutsu]

You have me chiming in when they say something. Im proud of myself. I was like pomodoro is tomato.

[@vincenzosplate]

Haha, that's great! You're adding your own touch to the conversation. Pomodoro indeed means tomato in Italian. Keep chiming in and sharing your insights! 🍅🇮🇹😄

[@sharendonnelly7770]

Vincenzo, my German mother used soffritto, onion, carrot and celery, in many dishes that weren't Italian. I learned at a very young age how the Holy Trinity added so much flavor. When done properly, I might add. This video had a "Frankenstein" version. Perhaps it's a Chicago thing, and perhaps it is good, but it definitely is not a true soffritto as there were no carrots or celery, and a whole lot of garlic with tomato paste, and way too much salt. I completely agree with you that tradition is important. This is why Gramma/Nonna always made the BEST food, because it was tradition. Keep up the good work!

[@vincenzosplate]

Your insights are spot on! Soffritto, when prepared with onion, carrot, and celery, can indeed add incredible depth of flavor. Staying true to tradition often leads to the most authentic and delicious results. Grazie for your support! 🇮🇹🥕🧅😊

[@TheFoodExperience]

Yikes! Sooooo much butter. lol I am thinking where's the soffrito too. That level of salt is off the charts. lol It does look like they are having fun though. Looking forward to your cookbook Vincenzo!! Yay!!

Just watching the obsene amount of salt used in this recipe is causing my blood pressure to rise. Imagine what a bite could do to me. I will get swollen 😂. And no Vincenzo, don't sugar-coat it, there is nothing redeemable about that mappazzone, oops, I meant sauce. I have personally eaten Chicago style deep dish pizza and even they are careful with the salt.

[@JulianAndresKlode]

Pasta is so much harder than you think. Cooking times are good and all, but water mineral composition can severely affect texture of the pasta. I can't cook Rummo pasta at my home (soft-medium water), it always stays weirdly hard even if mush outside, whereas it behaves normally at my parents (with harder water). Salt also plays a role, but in this case I normalized the salt content to 1%.

[@vincenzosplate]

You're absolutely right, pasta can be quite finicky! Water composition can indeed impact the texture. It's interesting to hear about your experience with Rummo pasta. Adjusting for water differences is a great tip for perfect pasta every time. 🍝🚰👨‍🍳
