INSIDE A SMALL ITALIAN GROCERY STORE | Pasta with Lentils | The Positano Diaries EP 78

Thank you to Emilio and Ciro De Lucia of Euro Frutta 2000 Positano for letting me film with you!
Pasta e Lenticche (pasta with lentils):
Best pasta to sue is ditaloni rigate, 100g per person
50g lentils per person (rinsed)
1 onion diced
1 carrot diced
1 celery stalk diced
1 small potato diced (optional)
1 clove of garlic squashed
500g -1 litre of vegetable broth
small piece of parmesan cheese or some cubed pancetta
rosemary and thyme
Sauté the onion, carrot and celery in a pan until soft. Add the pancetta if using and after a couple of minutes add the lentils, potatoes and parmesan and cover with broth. Let simmer for around half an hour, adding more broth every few minutes. Add the pasta and cook until al dente. You can add more broth if you prefer it soupy or if it looks a bit dry.

Thanks for watching the video [Insert Video Title Here]

[@EsmeCleo]

Honestly, I can’t get enough of your channel. I only found it very recently (it was recommended), and I’ve watched most all of your videos already. You genuinely can’t make a bad one. The farthest I’ve ever been able to travel was Canada during family vacations across the US when I was young. And my situation now won’t allow for distance travel, so your videos truly help me feel like I’m getting away for a bit (and getting out of my head). Thank you!! I’m addicted, obsessed, whatever you want to call it - lol. All the best to you and your family! ❤️

Hi Liz, I'm Carlo, Thank you very much for the comment, your compliments are really generous, thanks are much appreciated.

We were stationed in Naples as an American military family, in 2008. Our 4th child (of 5) was born there! We now live back in the States, but treasure our memories of our days in Italy. We were able to get to Positano a couple times, in our time living near Naples. THANK YOU for this trip down precious memories.

PS - We were also stationed in your native England for 2.5 years from 2005-07, before our time in Italy. We loved it there and lived on the American military base near Cambridge

Hello to you all - I just watched a video you made Nicki in August about the fires when you came out in the morning. A few hours later Luca was tending to the tomatoes and when he put them on the table I noticed slices of lemon on the other side of the table (I think they were lemons) and wondered what you are using them for. Not sure if you were drying them perhaps like apricots? You're channel is definitely addictive. I try to watch others but I'm consistently going back to yours. You have such a natural talent Nicki and your voice is very soothing. I think you've become a star vloger. You and Carlo and Skye et al have certainly made many people happy with your videos. I don't know if you all realize what an impact you're making. You are all exceptional people and we are very fortunate that you are showing us how you live. I actually feel privileged that you are letting us all into your lives.

[@TravelAddict2000]

I loved this video! I can attest that all veggies & fruits taste delicious in Italy. I can't get enough of them when I'm there. Short story; a few years ago I took my Aunt to Italy - she was afraid to try anything with a tomato sauce due to severe heartburn. I told her it wouldn't happen because Italy's fruit and veggies don't have all those chemicals the U.S. does ..she tried it & was amazed she did not get one single heartburn during the 2 weeks we were there. It's been a love story ever since 😂

[@amenaali3655]

I've been fortunate enough to visit the Amalfi coast. Love watching your videos they bring back so many lovely memories and I cant wait to come back!! You're keeping my travel dreams alive whilst in lockdown! Thank you. xx

[@disee1490]

Lady that works in this shop is so lovely, she managed to get us little tubs of delicious cherries in early June. Delivery was also a made staying on the mountain much easier. We stayed in Via Liparlati very close to a little Church (St James?). Enjoyed joining the local ladies there on a Friday evening who were saying the Rosary. I must say it was one of the highlights of our Italian trip. The calm atmosphere in the Church and the comforting voices of the women reciting the entire Rosary was so spiritual and beautiful!

[@flibbertygibbette]

[@parrotheadauthor]

Nicki and Carlo, It has been a difficult and disappointing afternoon and evening here in the United States of America. Most of us Americans have been watching the news all day, feeling quite upset about the events taking place in our capital and the domestic assault on our democracy. I knew sleep would not come easy tonight with so much on my mind, but have been comforted by immersing myself in your daily routine before I close my eyes to sleep. Thank you for the much needed diversion and the reminder that life is made up of simple pleasures. ❤

[@deestatham]

Yes Lisa, I agree with you. Our country is in trouble and for just a few minutes, I was able to remember more gentle times. My nephew is a policeman in the Capital and I was very scared yesterday. Thank you for letting us enjoy memories of a quieter, more civilized life.

Hi Nicki and Carlo, my mother has loved the Amalfi coast ever since she and my father first went on their honeymoon in the early 70’s. Every time they returned to Naples visiting dad’s family, they always made sure that they returned. Five years ago mum was diagnosed with a degenerative neurological disease, it has progressed quite quickly and she is now wheelchair bound, so even before Covid-19 travelling to that heavenly place you call home became impossible. We have found your channel and I just wanted to thank you so much for all your hard work and allowing mum to walk those 500 plus steps with you. It makes mums day when she see a new post and it makes mine knowing that she has something to look forward to. Thank you both for making lockdown with a lot of health issues a little easier.😘
