My Nonna has Alzheimer's, but every once in a while her lucid phrase is "are you hungry? I'm going to make you something to eat". Your videos make my heart happy
Love this very much ❤️ Nonno was absolutely right with his words of wisdom. My advice is that if your family has recipes that you love, get in the kitchen with them and learn from them as much as you can. The BEST recipes come from the people who love you and cherish that time with them. Spaghetti Carbonara is my absolute favorite!!!💕💕💕
These two precious people make me so happy. It’s like seeing my grandparents again! I feel like I know what they looked like in their younger years. Nonna still has her youthful beauty and smile. Nonno is still so handsome, and oh that beautiful thick white full head of hair! Wisdom looks beautiful on them! Love to you all!❤
I'm a fine dining Italian Chef and I have to say Nonna's Carbonara is spot on. Most Italian restaurants don't use the white wine but for me it's a must. Great job Nonna
You're Italian, but you think onion, white wine, parsley, butter are spot on? Let's ignore the pancetta cause guanciale is already hard to find there. Ma che cazzo dicci ou? Chiamala qualunque cose che vuoi, ma non e una carbonara. Non fare questi stupidi commenti che poi l'Americani pensano che questa e la vera carbonara.
@@abrielrobertsson4160well when they moved here whether it was America or Canada they adjusted the ingredients to what was available to them so to them this is as real as it gets and unless you are the pasta queen the everyday person can't afford pancetta. Thing's have changed over the decade's a lot more ingredients are available nowadays but their expensive as hell compare to Italian prices such as good artisan bread it's $6 & up depending on the bakery you go to, good legitmate Italian country approved pasta cost $12 while the same size package for cheaper pasta cost $1 something change and for thumb size worth of real parm cheese cost $4 sorry not sorry Thing's are expensive here in the states and up where stairs in Canada
@@mercedesvelasquez8781 Look, I know ingredients can get really expensive, but let's not claim that extra ingredients which do not belong in a carbonara are spot on. You can do whatever you want with any dish. Hell, it might be even tastier than the original, but it's not the original, period.
Thank you for sharing this. Spaghetti Carbonara is my favorite meal that my mom makes. When I wad young, we lived in Italy and my mom had a wonderful friend named Maria. She and her husband, Giuseppe, owned a wonderful, authentic Trattoria (like a small authentic restaurant). We always raved over Maria's Carbonara, so Maria kindly took my mom and me into the kitchen there and taught mom how to make her family's recipe. 😊 🍝 It is one of my favorite memories, and my favorite Italian dish to this day. This reminded me of that cozy kitchen in Napoli, and all the warm feelings that come from cooking together. 💗 Food is love.
I’m a huge carbonara fanboy and this lovely version absolutely proves that traditional dishes can have multiple varieties based on regions etc.. It look absolutely delicious and can’t wait to try her recipe!
Your grandparents are beautiful people. I'm 46, no more grandparents or my mother to get advice from. I still have my dad who's 67. But as we get older you crave their presence and wisdom. I wish them both good health.❤
Thank you so much for sharing your grandparents and their lives. My Nana passed young (67) back in 2016 and I can't help but miss her while watching this. I wish I had the foresight to record the moments we spent together.
Omg, I'm going to secretly pretend we're an adoptive family. Thank you for sharing your delicious food, humor, and hospitality, Nonna. Thank you for sharing your wonderful wisdom, Nonno.
that's really good advice from your Nonno - my mom says something similar about knowledge: "Know everything about 1 thing, and 1 thing about everything"
I love it I love it I enjoy all of it and I do thank you for sharing every bit of it it's so nice to see how people can still share a lot of their happiness in their kitchens you don't see that too often thank you again for sharing❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I agree with everything your grandfather said. He's a very wise, very thoughtful man. I'm going to try your Nonna's recipe. Looks really, really yummy.
I love watching these videos, your grandparents remind me so much of my grandparents. They were greek so the meditterenean temperament was the same! I miss them so much!
I really miss the tales the old timers would share from their younger days. I would rather hear about them than watch tv or read a book. It gives you a deeper perspective of life.
Our Bisnonno grew the best green leaf radicchio. He would call it Radichi or something like that. Haha. He made the most amazing salads but you do have to get used to the taste. He brought the seeds from Italy when he migrated here to the US so many years ago. Enjoy watching your family!
Great advice, but important thing is Nonno and Nonna is still here with us and cooking delicious meals. We should live with no regrets, but look forward to future, and be healthy and happy.
Love his advice he should be the father of all young generation today and her cooking is delicious bless this family especially Nona and Grandpa ❤️💯🙏🙏🙏🕊️😋😋👍
Found this after Vanessa's mention in her recent vid. Made this for dinner last night and it was fantastic!! 👍🤠❤️ Big thanks to your Nonna and Nonno! 🙏🙏
Great advice. My parents worked their whole live aiming for retirement. My mother died of cancer at 56. You never know if you'll even get to retirement.
You’re grandpa is the cutest and he reminds me so much of my grandma ❤ event if the pasta alla carbonara recipe is not the original, it’s always beautiful to eat family dishes ❤ love from Italy 🙋🏻♀️
Your nonno, nonna have actually taught me a few things thank you both my grandmother and grandfather have passed years ago now I miss them so much 😢 💔 ❤️ I've made some of your nonnas recipes 😊
This may be my new favorite channel. My grandparents were immigrants from Germany right before WW2. They both died when I was younger. Never had the chance to ask these questions. This reminds me of them💜
Nonno and Nonna are treasures!! Love Nonna's cooking and Nonno's advice. (Nonna has good advice too!) LOL! I wish I could make carbonara without ending up with scrambled eggs when I add the hot pasta. What's Nonna's secret?
Nonno's advice is solid for a lot of people but I have ADHD so I'm sticking with my many things lol. Most of them do fall under the same umbrella tho! Also he's so right, getting sick changes literally everything. I'm not even 25 yet and I have been made permanently disabled due to chronic conditions. Don't ignore or forget about disabled people, if you are blessed with a long life you will likely join our ranks at some point.
The way to do it is to drain the pasta first, put it in a bowl and only then add the eggs and pecorino mixture and the pan fried guanciale. Many people like to put the pasta into the warm pan where you've previously fried the guanciale and slowly add everything and some pasta water but it's too much work for my lazy ass. The important thing is that the pasta needs to be hot enough so that, as you keep mixing, the cheese melts and makes the sauce more dense, but not scalding hot, otherwise the eggs will cook instantly. Also, if you don't want a runny sauce, the proportions I use are: 1 whole egg + as many yolks as there are people for up to four people eating it, or 2 whole eggs + yolks if the people are more than four. But proportions are entirely up to you, that's just how I like it. The pecorino should always be A LOT. It's a national treasure, the more the better. No need to add salt or butter to the guanciale, it's already greasy and salty enough. Just season the eggs and pecorino mixture with a bit of salt and pepper and you're done. If you can't get your hands on pecorino and guanciale, parmigiano and pancetta are valid substitutes
Nonno, your garden is fabulous. I'm jealous. But I know you work hard for it to be so great. I have clay soil and have worked to improve it. You're a wise man who shares good advice. Nonna, thank you for your great recipes.
It's amazing how creative he is! Such a beautiful garden made with simple items! You can tell he's an artist... He sees beauty in the things most people take for granted. Such a beautiful gift you have in your family💝
Ohhhhh I love love love Italian food and culture!!!! And the language"FORGET ABOUT IT"!!!!!! Looks delish (MOLTO BENE) and such simple ingredients and easy to make. Those are the best cause those recipes/inventions probably came from whatever was in the house at the moment. They're the most comforting food ever. This one I would enjoy on a nice cold rainy day🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🥰. May God bless y'all with much much health and the love of family. From el paso tx❤
I think my love of pasta came from a neighborhood Italian little store called Severinis me and my mom would walk in and I remember seeing all the diffrent kind of pasta!! All the shapes,I started remembering the names and I to now have a particular pasta for each recipe 😊. And the smell of the diffrent cheesees and meats. Wow what memories. My mom took us to an Italian pizza place COMOS ohhh was that a pie!!!!! 😊
That looks fantastic. A really well made carbonara and finally someone that makes it the correct Italian way. I love the garden. Thx for sharing this. It's lovely.
It's very original and I'm sure it tastes delicious, but it's definitely not the "correct Italian way". The only things that it has in common with the actual carbonara recipe is pasta and eggs. It's awesome to experiment with food and try new combinations and variations of dishes, but don't claim something is made the traditional way when not even the sweet lady who made it has done so
@@bleachnbones7107 been a while since I watched but as an Italian I can say that traditional carbonara is pasta eggs guanciale and pecorino. Common substitutes are pancetta and parmesan which is more than fair for somebody not located in Italy as they might be hard to locate otherwise.
I love his garden. My friend's grandpa in Niagara Falls had a big garden in his backyard. When we visited, he said to me "come on, come on" .... with vowels added to the end of each word. We went into the basement and he had prosciutto after prosciutto hanging from the ceiling.
"La Carbonara" today is a classic italian dish, buuut: ///The name "carbonara" is first attested in 1950, when it was described in the Italian newspaper La Stampa as a Roman dish sought out by American officers after the Allied liberation of Rome in 1944. It was described as a "Roman dish" at a time when many Italians were eating eggs and bacon supplied by troops from the United States. According to another unverified hypothesis a young Italian army cook, Renato Gualandi, created the dish in 1944 together with other Italian cooks working for the allies for a dinner for the US army as the Americans "had fabulous bacon, very good cream, some cheese and powdered egg yolks"./// So, i believe the americans had something to do with the invention of this classic italian recipe 😊. And kudos to the lovely Nonna, she reminds me of my own nonna "la grande nonna Ida".
My Nonna has Alzheimer's, but every once in a while her lucid phrase is "are you hungry? I'm going to make you something to eat".

My grandfather had hair like this, said because he ate a raw onion everyday! Lol
That kind of love doesn't need to be heard or spoken, it is felt! Good luck with the channel! Sure wish I could have tasted this!
Thank you for sharing your grandparents. Each of them are a treasure.
Loved it! Thanks! Not only the recipe but the stories as well!
Fabulous! Thank you for sharing your grandparents with us!
Ok, I’m 2 minutes into this video, and I just love this!! I want to see more of your grandparents!!!
I loved Nonno's advice, brilliant! I loved the recipe, so simple yet perfectly executed & delicious 😋😋😋

Love that garden! Terrific videos!! Thank you for sharing these recipes with us!!
I really miss the tales the old timers would share from their younger days. I would rather hear about them than watch tv or read a book. It gives you a deeper perspective of life.
Loved every minute of this video ❤️
Our Bisnonno grew the best green leaf radicchio. He would call it Radichi or something like that. Haha. He made the most amazing salads but you do have to get used to the taste. He brought the seeds from Italy when he migrated here to the US so many years ago.
Enjoy watching your family!
Great advice, but important thing is Nonno and Nonna is still here with us and cooking delicious meals. We should live with no regrets, but look forward to future, and be healthy and happy.

Ma che belli questi nonni ❤❤❤
This is wonderful!
Beautiful advice and food! Thank you!
good question and I love his answer. i’m glad he’s in remission. God Bless Nonno and Nonna ❤
Nonno and Nonna are treasures!! Love Nonna's cooking and Nonno's advice. (Nonna has good advice too!) LOL! I wish I could make carbonara without ending up with scrambled eggs when I add the hot pasta. What's Nonna's secret?
Please thank your nonna for the recipe! And please thank your nono for his sagacious advice 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
I have never had this dish before but I am going to try it. Thank you 😊 💓
Looks amazing 👏 please add recipes in description 😚

Don't ignore or forget about disabled people, if you are blessed with a long life you will likely join our ranks at some point.
Love Grandpa's advice. I made a valient attempt at spaghetti carbonara and ended up with scramled eggs. Not sure where it went wrong 🤷♀️
Probably too high heat on the pan
Did you mix it with the pasta and not on the pan?
🤣🤣🤣
The way to do it is to drain the pasta first, put it in a bowl and only then add the eggs and pecorino mixture and the pan fried guanciale.

If you can't get your hands on pecorino and guanciale, parmigiano and pancetta are valid substitutes
U didn't temper the sauce 1st...
I love this so much! Thank you for sharing. Wise and beautiful words
Beautiful beautiful huge garden. One of my dreams is to have an indoor garden house with vegetables fruit and flowers. Wow!
“Do ONE thing and do it good”
I love elderly people, there is so much they can still share....amazing carbonara
Your Nonno is a wise man! I loved this video!
Bless you and your sister for recognizing and appreciating the wisdom of your elders, and the spaghetti looks amazing!🤤🙏❤️
Nonno, your garden is fabulous. I'm jealous. But I know you work hard for it to be so great. I have clay soil and have worked to improve it. You're a wise man who shares good advice. Nonna, thank you for your great recipes.
