Chef John, you always come through with the best Italian comfort food recipes. My grandma was Italian, and by my recollection a great cook. She passed away before I took an interest in learning how to cook myself. I wish she could have taught me, but your videos are the next best thing.
My mom always used to say to me: Pasta, Pasta, Pasta Fazool, I'm an Italian, woo, woo, woo. Hear us laugh, hear us snort, we're so happy that we're short. Always wanted to make it! Thank's for bringing that pleasant memory to the surface! :)
I must say I always find the evolution of American/Italian cuisine fascinating. The amount of new and (certainly, even if I almost never have the chance to taste them) tasty little modifications and developments italian recipes went through in 3-4 generations in the US is amazing. I like my Italian cuisine, but it's certainly worth exploring the - different - American/Italian version.
I'm watching this while eating chicken flavored Rice-a-Roni.... I've never been more sad that I waited and made a late, last second dinner. At least I have more Rice-a-Roni to cheer me up. It also eases the hunger that this video has induced.
Remember "That's Amore" by Dean Martin? For years I had no clue about what pasta fazool might be. Then, along came the internet -- almost instant knowledge! Great recipe, Chef. Thanks.
I made this today for me and my roommate and we were amazed at how delicious it was! Doubled the recipe, used chicken sausage and kale (first time I've every enjoyed eating kale!), and we cannot wait to eat the left overs tomorrow!
Elbow macaroni! One of the two kinds of pasta I knew existed when I was a kid. (The other, of course, being spaghetti.) I will make this. It looks amazeballs.
your one of the reason why I love cooking you have over 200 cooking TH-cam posts and there all informative to me . definitely one of my favorite chefs who's humble about his art
This is a versatile recipe. I like this version, too. I've used canned diced tomatoes and less chicken broth, and spinach. My pasta was fresh tortellini (from trader Joe's) . Very good comfort food!
Ok, I am stealing "optional but mandatory" and adding it to my usual "take your time but hurry up". Along with "just like Italian grandma but without the perfume". Thanks Chef!
Looks fantastic! I will need to try this recipe. I like how you added the uncooked pasta for a few min before adding the broth. Reminds me of Fideo noodles. My mother taught me to cook them dry for a few minutes with the oil and onion before adding water and tomato sauce. It always comes out great. It must be in the technique. Great video, as always.
Watched the video this morning. Made it this afternoon and eating it now! Fantastic! My late Italian mother-in-law made PF and it was really good. I now have an equally delicious recipe which will be served often in my house. Thanks again Chef John. Food Wishes has a place in my heart just like the Galloping Gourmet did when I was five. And now, time for another bowl!
7:05 -- "is this one of those recipes where we can get away with the fake stuff?" Chef John, if there's anything I learned from your videos, it's that there's no case ever when you can get away with the fake grated Parmesan.
I really enjoy your videos! You make laugh so hard! :D I'm italian, and I can definitively say: man, this looks good. And I have some very secret-secret to share -if you want- from my mom's kitchen to yours: we also use pancetta (kinda like bacon but thicker, similar to french lardons) instead of sausage and, this in the major treat, try to throw in a parmesan rind after adding the broth. It gives the most amazing saltiness, richness and a subtle creaminess that it's the Thing. Not to mention the slightly melted rind to chew at the end...and, last but not least: don't throw those chard stalk away! Chop them with the vegetables for the soffritto! But I know it spoils all the suspance that way...! ;D Big hug Chef!
I like that to add to the "this soup is for one of 'those days' " affect you also left a thumbprint on the side of the bowl as well as Parmesan dusting. Well played chef John. Well played...
lovely recipe. Love from New Zealand. I personally prefer to use the whole leaf of Silverbeet (swiss chard), not just the green, and rinse it and then chop it. ; ) Arohanui
Chef J., Dang that looks so good and easy too. Liked how you incorporated the elbows early in the game. This recipe will be perfect for a cold Friday/Saturday night - movie, vino...etc. will make extra and freeze to have a surplus.....thanks for sharing, can't wait to try!!
You won me over with the 10 minute cooking time.. I used to love cooking but I find it too much to do most of this time. This seems more than manageable, thanks chef John!
Been watching your videos for over 4 years and you've inspired me to pursue cooking as a professional career. But like, how many times are you gonna say "Like I said" in one video? I think the count is getting higher and higher with each video
G'day McShine, and all those who use pre-grated parmesan cheese from the supermarket. Kraft brand and 90% of all other brands like this contain formaldehyde as a preservative. So, if you like embalming fluid with your pasta dishes go right ahead... it may keep you alive longer so you can screw up more good Italian recipes. Kind regards. BH
Looks good! Thank you for the recipe! I make something similar with ground beef, pinto beans and chicken/tomato Knorr. My kiddos eat it up! It's great for a quick mid-week dinner...
Hi Chef John, I wanted to request a video from you on a recipe for Chicken Pot Pie. Long time fan here, love your videos. Thanks for providing awesome recipes that me and my family enjoy on a daily basis.
I know what I am making for Sunday dinner this weekend. Looks fantastic, Thanks Chef John. First recipe I ever made of yours was "not so sloppy, sloppy joes" years ago lol. I have lost track of how many I have made now.
Made this tonight and it was legit!! Next time I'll probably go with a mix of sausage and 90/10.....Liked that it was a little soupy but still hearty! Also - if you make more than enough for seconds - stop the cook time at al dente so they keep their form!
Another great recipe Chef! One small correction though. The pronunciation "pasta fazool" is not actually a mispronunciation, it is derived from the Neapolitan (Naples) pronunciation "pasta e fasule". Both ways are correct.
Was driving to the grocery store when I watched this. Turned out great, just don't be lazy and buy the pre-chopped greens... Was a PITA to remove the stems, I ended up leaving some. Still tasty, thanks
HI chef John! I have been loving (and using) your videos lately. I'd love to hear what kind of kitchen hardware you use (pots, pans, etc.) It would help me in appropriately equipping my kitchen!
How interesting! My family has been making something like this except we call it "Sopas" and we use ground beef instead. Either way I can vouch for how yummy this may be with Italian sausage instead.
Yummy...yummy. I am a third generation Italian, but from Como. Thry also eat delicious, but not like this!!!! I will go out tomorrow to get sausage and white beans, which here are called Spanish Beans. Thank you, I love your videos and your humor😜
This recipe, aside from the beans, resembles a lot your Orzo recipe from before. The difference being he onion and celery, and replacing the chicken by the beans. And a different kind of Pasta, though the more brothy-like texture makes me think of Minestrone. But, being curious, i will definitely try this, see if the taste is similar too.
whoa i've made exactly this before just out of stuff in my fridge, except I cooked the pasta in water and added it to everything else...plus I used garbonzo beans instead of cannalini but basically the same dish OHHHH MY GAWWD MIND IS TOTES BLOWN WOOOOWW
How much of the canned beans did you exclude? I know even the expensive brand of canned beans have a lot of broken ones and that pile you poured in looked fairly close to perfect.
I second that opinion that frying the pasta in the oil will infuse more flavor than just dumping the pasta in boiling liquid. I always fry my fideo noodles in the tomato sauce before adding water.

"This is like getting a big warm hug from an Italian grandma without all the perfume" 😂😂😂😂😂
LOL
+Joey you gotta try harder man.
+Joey Cronos what's your point exactly?
this is NOT Italian!!!! NOT Italian in any way shape or form!!!!
Joey Cronos Thirsty pervert lmao
Would fava beans work? I'm having a friend for dinner.
Chef John, you always come through with the best Italian comfort food recipes. My grandma was Italian, and by my recollection a great cook. She passed away before I took an interest in learning how to cook myself. I wish she could have taught me, but your videos are the next best thing.

Always wanted to make it!
Thank's for bringing that pleasant memory to the surface! :)
When the stars make you drool, just like Pasta Fazool......That's Amore!
I must say I always find the evolution of American/Italian cuisine fascinating. The amount of new and (certainly, even if I almost never have the chance to taste them) tasty little modifications and developments italian recipes went through in 3-4 generations in the US is amazing.

Jerry Boynton III lol, I love rice-a-roni! 😂
i like the fried rice flavor
oohhhhhhh shiiiiiiiiiiittt. waddup!
Chef John's video have put me in that position many times. Often it inspires me to make one of his recipes the next day. :)
my mom has been getting confused as to how im making such good meals i hope she doesnt ever find out my secret
"Enthusiastically simmering" is one of the best ways I've ever heard to describe a fast simmer...love the way Chef explains things 😊👍
This guy is sorta like the food version of Bob Ross!
Remember "That's Amore" by Dean Martin? For years I had no clue about what pasta fazool might be. Then, along came the internet -- almost instant knowledge!
Great recipe, Chef. Thanks.
John..."5 minutes to defuse the bomb or else the whole world explodes" NEVER A MORE ACCURATE STATEMENT I HAVE EVER HEARD!! 10+ : (
I love hearing how nostalgic this dish makes you. I bet your grandma was awesome, Chef John.
"As well as the OPTIONAL, but MANDATORY crusty Italian bread" lmfao I love this man 😂
When you realize everything Chef John makes is perfect for the season, time, and weather...
I made this today for me and my roommate and we were amazed at how delicious it was! Doubled the recipe, used chicken sausage and kale (first time I've every enjoyed eating kale!), and we cannot wait to eat the left overs tomorrow!
Elbow macaroni! One of the two kinds of pasta I knew existed when I was a kid. (The other, of course, being spaghetti.) I will make this. It looks amazeballs.
"As well as the optional but mandatory crusty bread" a classic Chef John line. Delicious. TFS!!
your one of the reason why I love cooking you have over 200 cooking TH-cam posts and there all informative to me . definitely one of my favorite chefs who's humble about his art
This is a versatile recipe. I like this version, too. I've used canned diced tomatoes and less chicken broth, and spinach. My pasta was fresh tortellini (from trader Joe's) . Very good comfort food!
Make sure you aren't the fool of your sausage pasta fazool
Thank you for saying it the right way :)
I grew up eating this.
This video made me happy.
I love your optional mandatory steps, chef John.
Chef John, my favourite digital chef.
Ok, I am stealing "optional but mandatory" and adding it to my usual "take your time but hurry up". Along with "just like Italian grandma but without the perfume". Thanks Chef!
Whoa! 👁gor!
100% cool, great energy and good stuff! Thanks Food Wishes!
Looks fantastic! I will need to try this recipe. I like how you added the uncooked pasta for a few min before adding the broth. Reminds me of Fideo noodles.

CHEF JOHN BACK AT IT AGAIN WITH THA VIDEOS. YOU MAKE MY DAY MAN

Chef John, if there's anything I learned from your videos, it's that there's no case ever when you can get away with the fake grated Parmesan.
they can take my green cardboard and plastic can when they pry it from my cold dead fingers
I really enjoy your videos! You make laugh so hard! :D I'm italian, and I can definitively say: man, this looks good. And I have some very secret-secret to share -if you want- from my mom's kitchen to yours: we also use pancetta (kinda like bacon but thicker, similar to french lardons) instead of sausage and, this in the major treat, try to throw in a parmesan rind after adding the broth.

I just have to say ( WHAT A GREAT SHOW " , thank you very much .
I like that to add to the "this soup is for one of 'those days' " affect you also left a thumbprint on the side of the bowl as well as Parmesan dusting. Well played chef John. Well played...
Great job. Made this and it was incredible. Thanks for all you do.
My favorite fall/winter dish. So easy and delicious!
Wow! That was easy! Third generation Italian-American here. I've always wanted to know how to make this. Thank you!!!!
lovely recipe. Love from New Zealand. I personally prefer to use the whole leaf of Silverbeet (swiss chard), not just the green, and rinse it and then chop it. ; ) Arohanui
Italian food and recipes really are the best.
"There is no Chef John, only FaZuuul"
You just pulled 6 winning numbers outta the lottery bowl with this one. Thumbs up
That looks delicious and simple! I am most certainly going to try it out when it gets colder over here.
Chef J., Dang that looks so good and easy too. Liked how you incorporated the elbows early in the game. This recipe will be perfect for a cold Friday/Saturday night - movie, vino...etc. will make extra and freeze to have a surplus.....thanks for sharing, can't wait to try!!

Maybe you can keep track of the count for a few months in a spread sheet, and then we'll analyze the data with a bar graph or something.
lol
Over a glass of red wine.
John Shin xD
You are the Stevie Nicks of your verbal tics
I feel so comforted just listening to your voice over
I'll be printing this one as soon as you get it up on the blog. Looks like another one i just absolutely must do!
I really want to know what, according to chef john, "those recipes where you can get away with using fake parmesan" would be.
There are none! :P
The answer is none of them, (un)fortunately.
McShine: Oven-Crisped Wastebasket Liner? Kitty Litter 'Parmagiana'?
Brick mortar and home made facial exfoliating scrubs.
G'day McShine, and all those who use pre-grated parmesan cheese from the supermarket. Kraft brand and 90% of all other brands like this contain formaldehyde as a preservative.

Chef that looks fantastic!
Hi Chef John, I wanted to request a video from you on a recipe for Chicken Pot Pie. Long time fan here, love your videos. Thanks for providing awesome recipes that me and my family enjoy on a daily basis.
That's some AWSOME Hamburger helper thx!
My thoughts exactly lol
if it was hamburger helper the recipe would call for a cup of salt
I though you said Harambe helper
Very similar to my grandmother's recipe, though she would throwin a rind of parmesan! Enjoy!
I know what I am making for Sunday dinner this weekend. Looks fantastic, Thanks Chef John. First recipe I ever made of yours was "not so sloppy, sloppy joes" years ago lol. I have lost track of how many I have made now.
that outro gave me a warm, fuzzy feeling. thanks!
I love this soup! Perfect for fall.🍁🍂
this looks soooooo good, chef John, you should have your own TV show
Made this tonight and it was legit!! Next time I'll probably go with a mix of sausage and 90/10.....Liked that it was a little soupy but still hearty! Also - if you make more than enough for seconds - stop the cook time at al dente so they keep their form!
I loved the Vida Blue reference. The next challenge is to find a rhyme for Bert Campaneris.
Another great recipe Chef! One small correction though. The pronunciation "pasta fazool" is not actually a mispronunciation, it is derived from the Neapolitan (Naples) pronunciation "pasta e fasule". Both ways are correct.
You are the greatest!
This looks so good, I had to watch it again. Have to try it...today!
who here watches chef john religiously but has never attempted a single one of his recipes lmao
Was driving to the grocery store when I watched this. Turned out great, just don't be lazy and buy the pre-chopped greens... Was a PITA to remove the stems, I ended up leaving some. Still tasty, thanks
HI chef John! I have been loving (and using) your videos lately. I'd love to hear what kind of kitchen hardware you use (pots, pans, etc.) It would help me in appropriately equipping my kitchen!
A winter warmer, thank you for the hearty dish!!
Hi, I'm so excited for this vid. I'm like a kid on Christmas morning!!
This looks really good! And I already have all these ingredients at home!
you are awesome chef!! Nice presentation aswell. good job!
Oh damn, this looks amaze.
How interesting! My family has been making something like this except we call it "Sopas" and we use ground beef instead. Either way I can vouch for how yummy this may be with Italian sausage instead.
That moment when you dipped the crusty bread into the flavorful broth... it took my breath away :-)
You are the Vida Blue of your Pasta Fazool.
You are officially insane.
Love your vids man. Sorry (not really) that my Cubs beat the Giants.
Chef... that looks Awesome... I love the macaroni !! :)
This looks AMAZING! Thanks Chef John!
This is my favorite soup to make and I make it several times a year, thanks for a different version for me to try.
man oh man! that looks so yummy and comforting!🍝
chef john i love your videos!!!
woah, this looks fantastic! another great recipe!
yum!, I shall try this recipe out soon. thanks chef john you're awesome.
Mama Mia That looks delizioso!
looks great! maybe I could even try to make it myself
Yummy...yummy. I am a third generation Italian, but from Como. Thry also eat delicious, but not like this!!!! I will go out tomorrow to get sausage and white beans, which here are called Spanish Beans. Thank you, I love your videos and your humor😜
My dad used to make this all the time when we were kids.
Hi Chef John, Great dish looks yummy!! Here in Australia we call it Sliverbeet not Swiss chard!! cheers
here in New Zealand we call it Silverbeet ; )
very nice!
what is the first vegie you add before the onion? and the green before the beens is what, regular cabbage?
could you do a Italian wedding soul... its my fav when go out but would love to make at home
Here in Finland it's becoming quite cold, I definitely want to make this!
This recipe, aside from the beans, resembles a lot your Orzo recipe from before. The difference being he onion and celery, and replacing the chicken by the beans. And a different kind of Pasta, though the more brothy-like texture makes me think of Minestrone. But, being curious, i will definitely try this, see if the taste is similar too.
yes it's so similar!
Is using wood versions of tools a personal choice or a culinary one?
This will help me deal with the Giants losing to the Cubs.
1 pot/pan cooking, Awesome!
Looks delicious!!! I'm excited about the coming soup weather! :)
whoa i've made exactly this before just out of stuff in my fridge, except I cooked the pasta in water and added it to everything else...plus I used garbonzo beans instead of cannalini but basically the same dish OHHHH MY GAWWD MIND IS TOTES BLOWN WOOOOWW
This looks delicious! Going to try this over the weekend. Can I substitute the Swiss chard for fresh spinach?
How much of the canned beans did you exclude? I know even the expensive brand of canned beans have a lot of broken ones and that pile you poured in looked fairly close to perfect.
yeah! And Cannellini beans are very soft. they break apart really easy
Woot i can do this! looks yummy
I second that opinion that frying the pasta in the oil will infuse more flavor than just dumping the pasta in boiling liquid. I always fry my fideo noodles in the tomato sauce before adding water.
what brand of olive oil do you prefer? i'm half expecting you to say you make your own but i'm hazarding a question anyway
Best food videos on youtube and you are funny too
