I am in love with this channel and the whole family. I just found it recently. He is amazing and his recipes are always simple and delicious.

[@frankzito8653]

My father (RIP) used to make this on Friday evenings. He and I would eat the entire batch. I've never made it myself, but I think it's time to pay tribute to dad with this recipe!

[@SipandFeast]

This was a rare 10 and I agree. There is nothing more comforting than this dish and I really do prefer this red sauce version over the white though they are both great. As always the print recipe and ingredients are in the description. Thanks again for watching and liking our videos. IMPORTANT: I will never message you here or on Telegram and other services saying something along the lines of "You won, text me at 3432322323 or whatever". There are a ton of scammers impersonating and making these comments for my channel and many others. Please don't fall for the scam. We do our best to delete and report them, but they make many profiles and it is hard to keep up. Again, I will never communicate with you in that way.

[@VinnyV9690]

I grew up on this dish and my mother still makes it every Friday .

[@georginaadams4826]

Red sauce version me too xx

[@love_bella4693]

I love how James said so simple yet so perfect! So true

[@catshitonthecarpet8520]

Spoiler Alert! :)

[@jerryoshea3116]

I see u have D##k head sending messages,(pretending to be u) on here to people! ..I just thought I wld let u know?

[@itsarifrizvi]

Hands down one of my absolute favourite cooking channels, the family bonds, peaceful vibes, the open transparency, easy and simple recipes, I'm here for all of it. This one looked like an absolute homerun, as usual! Keep it up you guys. Love the work!

[@bgleadbetter]

I came here to basically say the same thing. This is absolutely one of my favorite cooking channels of all time.

[@drewbiedoobie1416]

my mom used to make peas and pasta just like this when i was a little kid. i hated it cuz it was so difficult to pick out the peas and eat only the pasta. Now, if I see peas and pasta on a menu, you better know I'm ordering it!

[@tonyawimberly9289]

I absolutely love how his son describes why he loves this dish….spot on explanation - smart, articulate and insightful young boy.

[@carramaus]

You are CLEARLY so proud of James, and you SHOULD be! He’s smart, honest, fair, and loving. You guys have done a great job raising him ❤

[@maryhooker-brogdon1140]

I’m so happy to read that these qualities still matter.

[@kron520]

His name is Buddy.

[@JP-jw3he]

I’ve made this 3 times, not just for myself but for a neighbor and friend and I got RAVE RAVE RAVE reviews. So easy yet so deeeeeelicious. Thank you 🙏

[@SandraSallin]

I must have a problem. I find that tomato paste is very bitter. Using a whole can???? I’ll try it this week. Am I wrong?

[@pixiedustmama3]

Recipe looks sooooo yummy… can’t wait to make it! But can we all take a minute to give James a 10 for the best taste tester! The way he articulates is top notch! Such a great personality and so sweet… good job mom and dad ❤️

[@jackiewinters5792]

@sipand.feast. Stop impersonating Jim!

[@newgoogleplussux2802]

Definitely some mixed feelings about James. On one hand, he has really started to develop a very reliable palate for us viewers. On the other hand, watching him grow up so quickly is making me feel old :(

[@Glaasse]

Definitely going to be trying this tonight. A little trick that I do when i open those cans of tomato paste is I open both sides of it. It never leaks because it's so thick and allows you to use the bottom to push all the paste through instead of needing to use a spoon.

[@firewulfz]

When I used to work at a restaurant, I would make big batches of sauce with big cans of tomato paste, I found if you poked two or three holes in the bottom of the can with the can opener and open the other side, you could shake the can swiftly once and all the paste would come out at once. It was rare I needed to use a spatula to get the rest out.

[@laurat4977]

I've started buying tomato paste in the squeeze tubes. It's so much easier than using canned. You squeeze out only what you need and save the rest for another day.

[@davewatson3833]

Me too

[@wing3389]

Yes, this dish was a 10. As a fellow Italin American living in Florida and formerly from LI NY. This dish turned out great ! I just made one change. I used 1 cup of low sodium Chicken Stock and 3 cups of water. This one goes into my cookbook bible.

[@laurat4977]

I also used chicken stock and I added a couple of anchovies when cooking the sauce - a secret weapon! I didn't need to use any salt and the anchovies add a richness of flavor without any fishy flavor whatsoever.

[@AngelasJoys]

Yes that's true with the chicken stock. Try it with chick peas instead of peas too. Yum. I keep College Inn handy.

[@andromedamedia2093]

This man is a cherish in the online culinary community. Most importantly, he is an amazing example of a successful father who involves his son in his success. He needs his own TV show!

[@feliciabarosa7613]

Absolutely, would love to see him on the cooking channel

[@erisisthename]

Yes! And the way he both encourages and accepts James’ constructive criticism. I’ve watched this guy and his family for two years and can’t get enough. I’d love to see him on the cooking channel, or food network.

[@tinarandolph5958]

Love his voice, no nonsense wonderful recipes and his son talking about the food. Winner. 10

[@kalo924]

James, future chef. A child of refined taste 😊

[@Truckngirl]

James, I've been watching you for some years now and I am so amazed and happy for your channel to have grown as it has. You deserve it! It's not just the food.... You and your family have a wholesome and natural vibe.

[@jackiewinters5792]

Couldn't agree more! 💜🍝

[@billsfone]

@@jackiewinters5792 Amen!!!

[@jamesbenchimol1537]

thank you

[@rosecityremodel2015]

I’m laughing right now because I completely agree with you about the 1 tablespoons of tomato paste! 😂. I’ve always at least tripled those portions. I think my family would love this recipe!

[@andrewbird57]

What great parents. Those kids are going to be awesome people.

[@joyweidental1227]

Thank you very much! As a vegetarian and pea lover it really makes me happy!James just made it perfectly clear,why it’s so wonderful!! I’m cherishing your recipes and I love your family❤ greetings from Vienna/Austria

[@ashleyjcre]

I love ALL of your recipes and my favorite part of each video is James's rating at the end. Today's video was so dang cute. The awkward comment at the end made me laugh out loud!

[@italiana626sc]

James gave so many great reasons why he liked the dish, as well as pointing out the over abundance of olive oil. Such a discerning palate on a young one!!

[@alicehagan3251]

I absolutely love pasta piselli!! And I agree the red version is the best. Oh, those onions and peas together are magic! Thanks for sharing Jim.

[@tomasm7696]

This is exactly why this is the best food channel on YT. Easy made dishes that tastes great! Truly inspirational!

[@michaelpersons6449]

Sure, this looks fun and easy to throw together (and possibly more than the sum of its parts), but honestly, the REAL reason I want to make this, is the sublime look of satisfaction on a father's face from making food his kid really loves. And I don't even have any kids.... Priceless!

[@judylutz1702]

I hopefully make a million dollars off of your KZbin channel because your vids are so good. Your chicken salad recipe is to die for!

[@fartsontheair]

I’m dealing with some health problems that make cooking a challenge, and this was so easy and comforting. Thanks a ton, brotha, your recipes have never let me down.

[@lslcska]

I have to say, your kids always make me want to try the recipes 😂 This one looks like it will be a kid favorite at my house. Thanks!

[@ShanaMarie203]

Cut both ends off the tomato paste can. Take the top lid off and push paste through from the bottom. 💜

[@michellemeyer1649]

I make this all the time. Every Italian kid that I know loves this. When I make I add ricotta cheese.

[@spiderbouquet3670]

How is this SO GOOD?! I’ve made it a few times now and every time it’s delicious, and it’s so easy and has minimal ingredients. It’s magic I swear.

[@bonnieblue1792]

Love how you get so anxious about what James will think and how excited you get when he gives a good score. You were giddy for a second when he gave you a ten!

[@Iowaclass65]

I made this yesterday. It was the first pasta I have allowed myself in 2 years of keto living. Boy was it worth waiting for. Creamy, almost like risotto, I also added a few leftover San Marzano tomatoes and some Passata to the broth. It took a lot longer to cook with the DiCicco pasta, but again, no problem! The results were amazing! Especially with a generous amount of black pepper and Pecorino. Frying the paste is a game changer. Thanks so much for this wonderful recipe!

[@vvtli808]

This looks awesome! I remember going to the market during 2020 and there was NO pasta, beans, staple ingredients, etc. So glad things are available now, even though they cost a lot more.

[@meekeeboy]

Doesn't get much better than this, Jim! Thanks for sharing this!!!

[@tomdbass1]

My mom used to make it when I was kid. Thanks so much for posting this!

[@stephenmorton8017]

Wow that's the first 10 I've seen. I was thinking, once again, how well that would sit on a piece of garlic bread with no problem. This will be a great camping dish. No boiling necessary.

[@JamanMosil]

I made this the other night - 10/10, easy. One of the easiest meals I've made in a long time, and didn't even need to bother looking at recipe, as it's so few ingredients and is so easy! Heat up the oil, chop the onion, throw that in...cook for a while, throw in the red pepper flakes and then tomato paste, cook for bit more, add a bunch of water, bring to boil, add pasta, add peas, cook until pasta's done, adding water as necessary. Grate cheese over-top until feels right. And that's literally it. SO EASY and SO DELICIOUS. One note of caution - don't be stupid/reckless like me. Decided to microplane my romano over the pan at the end, was definitely rushing and definitely ended up shaving a bit of my finger off at end! Thankfully no blood ended up in dish and I'm ok. But yeah, those microplanes don't mess. ANYWAY. This was a fantastic recipe, agree that you don't need garlic as I feel that would mess with the perfect balance of flavors you have here. Can't wait to eat my leftovers!!

[@nickicapo7251]

Oh my goodness. My Italian family always made this dish. My husband and I made this following your advice and just wow! Delicious! Thank you and blessings to you and your family.

[@matthewpalumbo1107]

Love that Sip and feast is getting more subscribers so quickly! This channel ROCKS!

[@kevina5234]

I couldn’t tell you exactly why (maybe the back-and-forth with The Taste Tester?) but this is possibly my favorite SAF video. Great, great work.

[@nickicapo7251]

I will never make pasta e piselli any other way. I have made this dish forever, but not in one pot. Delicious! My husband and I love this! Thank you!

[@lisawithans]

I made this tonight and my husband loved it! it was such a great dish and perfect for Lent!

[@happyhorse1028]

Made this for my family tonight. It wasn’t just a hit, it was incredibly easy to make. Thank you.

[@windflower5010]

Kudos to your taste tester. James, your critical assessments are are getting better and better. Normally, this wouldn’t be a dish I would make. But because of what you said in your critique, I’m going to give this, as the saying goes, a whirl around the dance floor. You and your family do a wonderful job with your videos.

[@mive9503]

I will be making this! All pantry staples and so straight forward to make. I've never combined these ingredients before - but the combination leads me to believe this will be delicious! Thank you for making this video.

[@laurat4977]

I love this channel! I've made a couple of your recipes and they've been great. I made this dish for lunch today. My husband does not like peas - not one bit. I didn't expect him to eat this at all. He wolfed down two bowls and said he wants more for dinner tonight. Peas and pasta for the win!!! Many thanks!

[@annchovy6]

One thing I really appreciate about this channel is how accessible the recipes are. I now live in the Caribbean, so frankly a lot of recipe for Italian showcased by others channels just don’t work for me. But here I’m reminded of so many dishes I can make with my limited ingredients, even when I have to make minor substitutions here and there.

[@gailn9502]

James using the word flabbergasted. Love it 😍 Also the little laugh at the end. Delightful young man. Oh, and I will be making this dish!

[@glennlumsden5316]

You guys make the BEST cooking vids i've found to date...straight to the point, very easy to follow (which believe me, I need!!) and the results have always been fantastic. thank you soooo much.

[@beanie7547]

James make my day. Being on the west coast I get to wake each Thursday with a smile. Such honesty from him.

[@karrinwilley8079]

This is such a terrific combo of very likeable people, valuable cooking techniques & some killer recipes...completely unpretentious & I recommend it to everyone (James is chocolate icing on the cake)!!

[@justinmack5635]

I've been watching your videos for a while now and I had to jump into the comments to say thank you. My Nonna was an Italian immigrant and I grew up on her cooking. I miss it so much. Your Sunday Sauce recipe is almost identical to hers (she used neckbones and rib tips). I made it for my mother and she cried because it brought back so many memories. That's how close it is. I grew up eating pasta peas at least once a week. This is EXACTLY how she made it, I just wanted to jump on here and say thank you for bringing these recipes to everyone. Very grateful for that and I'll be making this later this week so my kids can experience it as well. Keep up the amazing work.

[@imapip6313]

Oh, how I love your channel!!!!! I enjoy your families reviews too!Thank You you all.

[@rockmassa4151]

I really enjoy the way James rates the dish and puts Into words why it tastes great.

[@maravonda]

Yours is the only cooking channel I watch. I don't cook much but your butter and tomato pasta turns out perfect every time. I love peas so this may be happening here sometime soon!

[@KasamaYT]

Appreciate the easy cooks, I use these everyday for my lunch at work. The easy 30 min cooks are amazing thanks for the variety and tasty meals

[@ot7stan207]

Aw its nice watching your kid mature in his ability to express himself and also grow. Just like your channel, I hope it reaches the stars!

[@jojobee8057]

The end is just great with the embarrassed teen giggle. Reminded me of my youth. Awesome. Always the best food and family.

[@jackiewinters5792]

I have a stew brewing on the stove right now & as soon as it's done I'm making this up! For once I have all the ingredients in & I even have the right cheese! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. 💜🫛🍝

[@joeyhardin1288]

Yhis looks wonderful. Glad James is feeling better. Thank you. God Bless and stay safe.

[@bobcampbell3505]

Jim, I could watch you forever, and I actually come close to that. You do an absolutely great explanation of ingredients and cooking process. Thanks, Bob Campbell

[@terirosen2938]

This is total comfort food- one of the favorite meals my grandma would make!!!

[@SteveTTTT]

This would make an excellent cold season meal. Made it today, following the steps in the video, and it makes for a hearty meal!

[@MHarenArt]

Looks really good! I've never had peas with red sauce before, so I'll have to give this a try some time. Cooking was similar to making a risotto - a little liquid at a time. James is getting so much better with his review of the food!! He's understanding the nuances of the different flavors and textures of what he's tasting. Thanks for sharing.

[@paulcoletti2656]

Really, really good… just made this tonight. I used Orecchiette and finished with a knob of butter.. butter definitely added to the smooth, creamy feel. Great job, this is a keeper.

[@Meluvkatz]

The kid is so cute. I like how honest he is.

[@rmd9032]

Love it. I make mine in a loose meat sauce using medium shells pasta. They hold the sauce well and capture the peas and bits of loose ground meat inside them.

[@NCicio-je2lk]

Love, love your channel. Delicious recipes. Family involvement is awesome...so relatable. I can't wait to try this and have my son taste test!

[@richanway5204]

You Two are the Best! One of my favorite Italian families and Videos!

[@annebasak2471]

I already cooked many of your recipes and will prepare this one today, looks great! My son loves to watch your clips too - and always looks forward to the end when your son does the taste test. Pls keep on posting, we really enjoy it!

[@deborahsimmons2414]

Your son seems like a sweetheart. Thank you so much. Honestly, every time he comments on your cooking I feel like thats what I gotta make, must be a Gramma thing.

[@davidmoffitt981]

The dish looks amazing, and your son's articulation of his experience with it was INCREDIBLE!

[@love_bella4693]

So simple one of my favorite childhood dishes. I am actually making this tonight i love it with ditallini. I use to make it with shells years ago , I never made it with garlic either only onion. Always a comfort dish to me.

[@xRhi]

I made and had this for the first time today! So good! Thank you

[@Heavy_C]

I subbed back when you had 50k subscribers! I’m so happy to see your growth, both in terms of your following, and your content. You videos are so easy to watch, and your recipes are “another dimension” good haha. I’ve got a backlog of your videos in my “Sunday Cookbook” playlist that I haven’t even gotten to yet! You the man brosef! So happy for your success!

[@saulgan2841]

This looks awesome Jim, thank you for this! Looking forward to making it this weekend.😊

[@hoosiered471]

That’s what I’m talking about!!! Simple, easy, and delicious!!!! Please do more of these “easier” recipes. Thanks!!!

[@lisatheboywonder6744]

This recipe was originally on great depression cooking years ago. It was a channel where a 94 year old woman named Clara made meals from her living in the great depression. She was a sweet lady and she passed but her channel was a well spring of knowledge and wisdom

[@wolfie8012]

So easy to make and so yummy. Thanks for sharing!

[@Roundbrow]

Made the version on your site without the red sauce and absolutely loved it, excited to try this one as well. Thanks for sharing!

[@Michael_Drew_Eames]

Love the contribution from James in this video!

[@ldieno]

You are right. Everyone loved it! Had to use a stainless steel skillet so there was some minor stickage. This dish is definitely in the rotation now. Thanks!

[@alexie1910]

It is such an amazing channel!! Thank you so much for the perfect recipes!

[@debbiemarsh3626]

I watched this video and with the 10 points James gave it I had to try this. I had all the ingredients it was so good. Both my husband and I give it a 10 ! Love watching and cooking your recipes, thanks for all you do Jim.

[@karrien.7649]

I just discovered your channel and absolutely love the easy, authentic dishes you make! I'm a green pea fanatic, and the only thing I would personally change is to put the peas in at the very end, cooking just one or two minutes until heated through. They stay bright green and really fresh tasting that way 🙂

[@peggyjohns7893]

He’s a doll. So honest and good at describing.

[@user-zt6ve1go3c]

Hi James, I made this pasta and peas dish. The family and I loved it, Delicious. Thank you, happy new year.

Thankyou Jim.. a favourite childhood recipe brought to life again. made it and it was just as good as I remember. Grazie from Australia
