Lemon Pasta | Gennaro Contaldo

[@TheChunder3]

This has to be the most genuine and emotional cooking video I’ve ever seen. Such a beautiful tribute to his friend. He’d have been proud!

[@julesmpc1314]

Yes. Remembering our loved friends is always important. We cry not of sadness but for "saudade". There is no bad feeling, no sadness, no regrets for those whom have done all they could to their friends in life; while alive. Tears in such moments are a proof of love and humanity, it helps us grieve and give value to our lives and the great things we have done toguether. Buon appetito!

[@AshleySmith19912]

First time I watched this, I clicked on it because I love his recipes and they all look so good, but by the end I was an absolute wreck. As soon as he sits down and says “memories” and starts to think about how much he misses his dear friend, I’m done for. I actually feel my heart breaking and there’s no stopping the waterworks. If I ever have the pleasure of meeting Gennaro, I’m giving him a hug (however I will ask if it’s ok with him first). I wanted to reach through the screen and give him one at the end.

This just sets a lump in my throat and a tear to my eye. I’ve watched the Two Greedy Italians over and over again and just loved their friendship, lust for life and of course their food. Their love and joy for Italy made such an impression on me that I sold all I had and moved there 5 years ago! I am still here! I met my wife in Rome and we married in Umbria and moved to Tuscany! Even now I still watch their old episodes and even some of Antonio’s old TV snippets! Thank you to you both and thank you Gennaro for sharing as keeping his memory alive for us. Big hug.

[@bfflorida2311]

Over the years I saw many different individuals showing their passion for food and some try to express how they feel about their friends. However, this video showed me what a perfect recipe of pure love of friendship and food really is. There are really no words that can describe this ultimate friendship. Huge respect from Florida and thank you for sharing. EDIT: I was so emotionally inspired by this video that I actually just made this dish for my family. It came out so delicious that I can't express how great and blessed I feel right now. For some reason or another this dish feels very special to me now even though I have no relationship to Gennaro & Antonio .

I can really relate to this Video. My best friend and I though that we are young cook for each other and together and have a lot of fun doing so.

Thiss felt like a scene from a movie towards the end when a guy misses his old friend. I mean if you see a scene like this in a movie, it'll hit you so hard, but movies are made that way to be more dramatic, but this isn't a movie. I really didn't expect this watching a cooking video, even when it started the way it did. It still seems a bit surreal to me, to be so touched by a short video of someone cooking a simple pasta dish.
