Italian Chef Reacts to Italian Nonnas Cooking Pasta

Neapolitan here and Nonna Pia who I LOVE pronounces things just like my grandmothers. Can't get enough of her as she brings back so many great memories growing up in NY. They taught me how to cook and bake. Gotta see her make "Pasta Fazool!" Vincenzo you are the best.

[@rishisanyal8972]

The fact that these nonnas are on Tik Tok means that its such a breath of fresh air, I am glad you are seeing aspect on this platform that isn't one pot pasta casseroles.

[@kjeleharrison3249]

One of the best uses of youtube is filming the older members of the family making dishes. They measure with their hearts and by filming, you can capture that wonderful artistry. Translating that to a written recipe is easier if you can rewatch it anytime. Bravo!

[@TwoCatsInLondon]

“I add parmegian cheese because I like it” me too, nonna ❤️ All these nonnas are so sweet, I love them!

[@vincenzosplate]

Parmesan cheese makes everything better! ❤️ Nonnas are the sweetest, and their love for food shines through. Enjoy their delicious recipes! 🧀🇮🇹😄

[@lostboy8084]

​@@vincenzosplatewell as long as it is the real Parmigiano cheese

[@OneTreeHill0123]

@@lostboy8084I would mostly agree with that.There is a difference Parmesan from Wisconsin that is delicious.It is from a company called Sartori.They are a family from Italy who produce Parmesan here the same way they would in Italy,minus the raw milk.Its called Sarvecchio Parmesan.Delicious!

You're very welcome! I'm thrilled you enjoyed the video and the recipes. Nonna and Nonno cooking videos are a joy to watch, and I'm glad you appreciate the reactions. More delightful content is on the way! 🇮🇹♥️

[@inglotto]

When the nephew asked Pia if she bought the sauce. That look could kill. I love you Pia you make me think of my nonna who passed away decades ago!

[@Cubannerd]

I think a lot of the American Italian recipes come from the lack of access to certain ingredients. Specially back then when the world was not as globalized. That's why some Nonas might have ended up using a different type of cheese or like it happens sometimes is a slight variation of the recipe that comes from the family and believe it or not, finding certain ingredients is either hard or expensive. It happens everywhere. For Cubans, the way we do black beans differs a bit some add culantro instead of oregano, some add bacon, some don't, etc.

[@vincenzosplate]

You're absolutely right! 🌎🍝 It's all about adapting to what's available. Food traditions are fascinating, and those little variations make each family's recipe special. 😄👌

[@Oscar-gq4ro]

Absolutely, my grandma grew up in the great depression, her recipes reflected that. Lots of dried herbs and substituted ingredients. She was a sweet lady, my cooking is better though 😅

[@aris1956]

@@Oscar-gq4ro It is not difficult to find grandchildren who surpass their grandmothers, partly because you start with the experience of grandmothers and then maybe over time certain dishes are modified for the better, certain recipes are refined and brought more to perfection. Our grandmothers knew certain things in their own way, but that way was not necessarily always the absolute best system. Also because in their time there was not the affluence of today and they were forced to do things with what they had available to them.

[@fishstix4209]

I wonder what "Italian" food was like before the tomato was introduced to them from America in the 16th century...

[@Cubannerd]

@@fishstix4209 I think there's a channel called tasting history that has some ancient Roman or Etruscan recipes

[@lauras6762]

I LOVE Nonna Pia! She is so sweet. And I think the reason some people chop the ends off the words and say things like mozzarel is because they come from Naples. My family comes from Naples and that’s what we do too. It’s like a whole different language! I love learning about stuff like that lol.

[@catherinelw9365]

ciao Vincenzo. Love your video’s. I’ve ditched all the others and only follow your recipes. From one Aussie immigrant to another, I am so very proud of your show. I was at first nervous about this video’s strap line because I’m a big fan of Nona Pia. So very glad you afforded them the respect they’ve earned from their life experiences and the hard toil in raising multiple generations of their families. All Nona’s are cultural treasures. Brava! Brava!

[@stevieg4201]

Here in the states, Italian Americans that live in places like New Jersey, some in New York etc, pronounce things without the vowel at the end, like prosciutt, mozzarell, manicott, it’s strange to me, but that’s how they talk, they also call Ragù, or Sugo gravy instead of pasta sauce, that’s always been a huge argument here in the states, I’m almost sorry that I mentioned that part, my family has always called it sauce, but in light of stopping the arguments, I call it by it’s proper name now, be it Sugo, or Ragù. I love watching italian Nonna’s cook, We all can learn so much from them. Great video chef. 🇮🇹😎🇮🇹

[@vincenzosplate]

Nonnas truly are the heart and soul of authentic Italian cooking, and their wisdom is priceless. If you ever have more thoughts to share or questions about Italian cuisine, I'm here. Buon appetito and keep enjoying those Nonna-inspired dishes!

Absolutely!! There's something magical about the way Nonnas infuse every dish with love and generations of culinary wisdom. The classics are timeless for a reason, and I'm thrilled to share the flavors and memories that make Italian cooking so special.

[@metalhead9849]

I am from an Italian family (half) and I'd like to say I've seen so many videos showing pasta 'mixed' with the sauce (it ain't gravy) but that was not how we did it. A bit of the thick sauce was put in the plate first ( a meal in itself) then pasta, then cheese, so it would melt into the pasta, not mixed. Then the sauce on top with more cheese, preferably Romano. Topped with hot pepper flakes as an extra.

Love to watch these nonnas. Glad you are reacting to them. I have to disagree with one thing you said though. You absolutely WILL find ricotta in lasagne in Italy if you go to the south. My family is from the Naples area and we always use ricotta- but never béchamel. Northern and southern lasagne are very different but equally delicious!
