Do y'all like more pasta or more meat and veggies?

[@DominiqueCottrell1656]

I prefer more meat and veggies

[@susan29234]

I like half and half. 😊❤️

Okay…I never say anything like this…but, for over 2 years now of watching and I might add enjoying Paula here on KZbin….I simply have to say something….As I read through some of the comments, and not just today mind you, I’ve been noticing for quite some time now…with nearly every video being posted. This is what I am seeing: ~ Here we have Paula cooking, in the privacy of her own kitchen….spending her own money (not ours) buying all of the ingredients, which we all know isn’t cheap, especially when you do it everyday as she does….and not just her in the kitchen…you also have MUCH time spent by Teresa…helping to gather and prep all this wonderful food….then there’s our Eddie who films, edits and makes sure everyone looks their best so we can sit back and "enjoy" these beautiful recipes and reap the fruits of their labor that are shared day in and day out….in other words…HUGE efforts are being made here….I think we can agree that Paula has been a constant for all of our enjoyment since Covid….I for one wouldn’t have made it this far without seeing ALL of their sweet faces…sharing their constant love and laughter with us….and yet…it seems there are always those few negative Nellie’s that always want to rain on someone else’s parade?! Why?? Making snarky comments that are not necessary and certainly not warranted. Please, please….if you have to be so negative all the time….why do you watch???? I’ll just never understand it….so very sad.

[@green3862]

I agree. Amen to what you said. Be nice people or do not watch.😀

[@agmin2098]

Well said and I totally agree and it’s mostly the same peeps..but I think I know what their reply will/ would be..

[@jak30341]

The best thing you can do is to watch the video you come to watch and not read all the comments. Trying to get better at doing that myself. Come for Paula and these other love birds and miss the comments. ✌🏻🥳

[@gracel3320]

I had to pay $10.98 for a quart of heavy cream, I wouldn’t have but I had already bought all the ingredients for a desert for company! That looks delicious, Paula! Your sweet accent makes me homesick for my Southern home, I live in the North now and how I miss the friendly nods and smiles of perfect strangers and the hugs of friends. Watching your show helps! Hugs! 😘

[@barbarajohnson83]

That looks really awesome! Thanks for sharing. Love your videos Paula. That is why I only buy cutting boards that I can put in the dishwasher. My cats always were afraid when it looked like it was going to storm. Have a great weekend Paula and family.

[@mikeincltnc]

Don't know if I've ever has pesto but this looks amazing. Definitely going to try it. Thank you Paula. You're such a sweetheart.

[@jt.s.7418]

Pesto is basically fresh basil, garlic, pine nuts and olive oil 😋.

[@charitys.3862]

And parmesean 🧀

Missed our sweet Teresa!!! Glad she’s back….(we love Eddie too!!) This recipe made my mouth water while you were putting it all together….Another fabulous recipe from our beloved Paula!!! Hope you all have a great day!!! 💕✨

[@lindahumes9483]

Bellisimo, beautiful!! I'm making this tonight, thank you Paula. I have 7 year old twin granddaughters who are going to love this dish next time I see them it will be on the menu, but tonight it's just me. LOL BTW, I'm 100% Italian and angel hair pasta is my favorite, it cooks quick so I can get my pasta fix fast! Have a great day to all.

[@tobehonest7541]

LOL I am unsure you're 100% Italian , Italian American perhaps - I am unaware people mix pesto with heavy cream in Italy

[@lindahumes9483]

@@tobehonest7541 True. I believe the remark was in referance to my preferring the angel hair pasta not the recipe per say.

[@stacey5925]

@@tobehonest7541 My grandmother was born in Calabria Italy, (the "toe of the boot"). Not only did she sometimes use heavy cream with her pesto, she also mixed in ricotta cheese if cream wasn't available. It created a milder tasting pesto and made the pasta creamy. She used on chicken and fish too. She came to America in early 1900's.

[@tobehonest7541]

@@lindahumes9483 haha I see. Enjoy the pasta 😊❤

[@tobehonest7541]

@@stacey5925 I see. ​Having worked at Cipriani (a high fluent Italian resturant in NYC frequented by elites and celebrities) we are trained you don't add dairy to pesto or seafood. Although I think this might have something to do with socioeconomic class. Italians are not a monolith, I don't doubt your granny added dairy to pesto. PS. but things change. I remember working a Food Network event Giada ("Italian") was teaching a cooking class...saying no cheese on seafood is old school, new school says add cheese to shrimp ! (pps. she's tiny in person ;)

If you didn't disinfect your cutting board you could have cut that chicken up on it instead of using scissors SO much easier. Even if you did clean it, easier to use it then scissors.

If anything, maybe poultry shears. Never saw anyone cut up chicken with scissors like that.. What a terrible practice.

[@lesliesmith719]

She has two assistants and she is concerned about cleaning her board. Those scissors were probably not clean and I wonder if she disinfected them after using them. But acrylic cutting board for poultry that you can clean with bleach and then put in dishwasher.

[@Elizabeth-lj1vm]

Paula, I think you used the same pair of tongs on your uncooked and cooked chicken. Isn’t that a no no?

[@jak30341]

Also not a good idea to use metal tongs on a nonstick coated pan. I guess all that continuous scraping didn’t clue her in as she was going 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@jak30341]

I do think she used two different tong utensils, further along they are rubber/plastic coated but that scraping pair looked like metal

[@martitasez]

[@tlc4876]

I am a long time fan and subscriber here and watch every video so please don't jump on me y'all. Why on earth do you need to spray chicken with those chemicals to put them into a non-stick skillet with olive oil in it? That makes no sense to me when there are so many dangers with those sprays and there was no chance of that chicken sticking. The recipe looks tasty and I thank you for doing a video but the constant needless use of those sprays on here concerns me. Respectfully, 💜

[@graycee8326]

I think it was more for the salt and pepper to stick to the chicken better before she places it in the pan. To ensure it seasons the chicken to it's max potential. If you have the time to rub it in and let it sit for a little while before cooking, that would be better ofc but our dear Paula is on camera and she is cutting a few shortcuts due to this I think.. God bless

[@stacey8420]

I've been saying that too. I cringe every time she sprays the food.. Not only is that spray not meant for spraying food, it should never be used in nonstick cookware. It creates a film over time on the finish of the nonstick, which doesn't wash off, and eventually defeats the purpose of nonstick.

[@tinktaylor444]

@@stacey8420 not to mention carcinogenic on nonstick! 🤦🏼

[@stacey5925]

@@graycee8326 Shortcuts or not, spraying chemicals and artificial flavored oils on food is a terrible practice in showing people how to prepare a dish, especially the novice cook who wouldn't know.

[@blondeenigma3882]

I've seen other Southern KZbin cooks spray the food and dishes liberally with it, and it makes me cringe. All she needed to have done was to turn the meat in the olive oil whilst in the pan, and season it in there. It's not even available in the UK, maybe down to stricter controls.
