How to Use Leftover Pasta | Three Creative Leftover Pasta Recipes | Authentic Italian Food
No Italian cook worth his or her salt would dream of simply reheating some leftover pasta and eating it as is. Pasta is a dish best served immediately, and the gummy mess of reheated leftovers is enough to make an Italian shudder. Not to worry, though! Luckily, there are many creative and delicious ways to use leftover pasta.

I am married to an Italian man, and I just have to say... I am never hungry, bored or depressed! lol Love your videos!
I'm so jealous I don;t have an Italian man myself!
@@blankityblank9795 I have some Italian for you:)
Now all I wanna do is find an Italian husband🤦
I think that's why I had so many Italian friends as a kid. You never go hungry in an Italian home. My black southern relatives are the same way. "Sit down and let me get you something to eat!"
I used to wish I had an Italian chef for a husband (I had a crush on Fabio Viviani LOL) but I'd probably end up weighing about 500 pounds. 😄
As a sicilian myself. EVA should make risotto, and with the leftovers arancini.
And oh yeah when is the restaurant opening.
Soon! 😉
@@PastaGrammar a take away sort of restaurant, with fresh pasta cooked to order and in take away boxes. Like we do here in italy. That's why we don't have much US fastfood. There's no need 😅
@@pottierkurt1702 you guys dont need fastfood because you dont eat any :v
not everyone in the world has time for a fancy food box
I live in southern Maine, if these two opened a restaurant I would for sure pay a visit.
If they'd like to do a small scale project, how about dinner with them as a prize for something? Maybe our recipes they might like? I loved a restaurant's carbonara (didn't know about carbonara before) but wanted cheaper and closer so I made up a recipe. My BF loves it.
The look on Harper‘s face when he tastes each dish is priceless. And the satisfying look on Eva‘s face when she knows she’s about to blow Harper‘s mind when she and Harper both taste each finished dish is equally priceless. Ti Amo, Harper e Eva!
Ciao,
I am a brasilian living in Milano, I just want to say that I love your youtube channel and I love Eva's recipes
also.
A very good thing to live here in italy and watch your channel is I can replicate the recipes with the right things :)
See you.
You two are such a cute couple together. Love the way yall play off each other it's just so natural
Maybe they were a couple in an earlier life too? ☺️
Ok, my wife is getting jealous, she prefers I go back to swimsuit channels than having me talking about Eva southern recipes 😅
Jajajajajja
hahahahahahah
I know the feeling, brother!
lol
Lol that's cute getting mad at someone on the internet
What I would love is to see is how Italians prepare meat dishes. Pork, beef, chicken... I know pasta plays big part in Italian cuisine. But I also know pasta is just one part of Italian cuisine.
Good idea
Too many people like meat. I have it bad because Im a vegetarian and get sick when I see meat.
Right, if we have a hundred types of pasta and a thousand ways to flavor it, we have thousands of recipes for second courses, some of which you can never taste because they are not ordered in restaurants, they are only homemade but no less good! And desserts and wine by the thousands!
Bravo
Actually a more interesting thing would be to learn how we cook vegetables. Vegetables have a bigger and more important place in our meals than both pasta and meats.
Instant like just for the intro
Thank you!
Aspettavo la pasta al forno con uova dure, prosciutto cotto e mozzarella. Io uso i tortiglioni o penne quando faccio una semplice salsa al pomodoro 😘
For the fusilli dish, can you use fresh soft cheese like mozzarella or something similar?
We used some cubed mozzarella!
Did the same 3 seconds in.
I’m with Harper. Pasta is so good that I can eat it every meal. Even in the middle of the night.
Well, it's possible.
In italy we often cook spaghetti aglio e olio when a party is over and we don't want to go home ahahahahah
Essendo cresciuta tra Italia ed America, vedere finalmente qualcuno che trasmette in questo modo le vere tradizioni culinarie italiane oltreoceano è emozionante.
You rock! Saluti dall’Italia! 💪🏻🇮🇹
The way Ava says 'Veggies' makes me so happy, I hope no one ever tries to correct her, it warms my heart. English was my dad's 2nd language too. That first dish though, definitely going to make that for my kids' after-school snack, how absolutely perfect! I know I'll have to make at least 2 hehe
Win win situation
Eva: "I'm ready to win"
Harper: "I'm ready to eat 😁"
Lol
Growing up as an Italian in an italian neighbourhood, after school when I was 9, I'd go to my friend's house after school, and he would make the frittata di pasta as a snack for us. Things were different back in the 80's.
One of the best qualities for a home cook or a chef is to have as little food waste as possible. In America we throw so much food in the garbage it's criminal. Bravo
"Outside crunchy inside gooey and soft" is so my thing.
I wish I could of find this a year ago . My dad is Italian and he could not remember how to make this he passed away a year ago thank you so much for posting this I will make this in memory of him
I absolutely love Eva’s confidence! She knows it’s the best cause she made the pasta! LOL I’m so jealous of Harper who gets to taste test all these yummy dishes!
I love how Eva pronounces veggies.
I'm fortunate enough to have an Italian girlfriend, and found at an early stage from her and her mother to not reheat pasta in the microwave but to fry or bake it 😄
You two are adorable. The only thing I've done with leftover pasta is add cheese on top and bake it..lol. I can't wait to impress my family with these recipes.. Thank you so much💕
I started making spaghetti even before the video had ended, just to be able to make the first dish :D
The other dishes i will make during the week.
😊😊😊😊
I can only comment to express how much of joy I get for every single video you guys upload, your notification in my feed just makes my day, keep uploading!
Thank you!
Amen!
Is Eva just a pure genius or are all Italians this knowledgeable about their food! Unreal! Would love to see Eva discussing which famous/popular dish comes from which region in Italy because that’s another head scratcher haha! Love every video you guys do!
The fact is that in the majority of households in Italy you grow up eating very very well. So one you become an adult and you move away, either you learn to cook yourself your mama’s recipes or you settle for some mediocre food and become sad. Eva is very passionate about cooking, but is quite a common thing even among guys. Cooking is really a big part of our culture.
What is this “leftover pasta” of which you speak.
According to legend, leftover pasta is what happens, when tragedy strikes during dinner time. Say Nonna dies or the Italian soccer team loses a match. The sadness will wreak so much havoc with Italians appetites, they won't eat all the pasta in front of them.
@@MrAranton I’m presuming that it’s down to the same kind of weirdo who leaves wine in a bottle too.
Exactly! Who has leftover pasta? A follow up: Using left over Perugina chocolate.
Leftover pasta was common in my times: you cooked more, not frequently but and then you tried to prepare a dish from the leftovers, so as to observe the old saying: food is a gift of God, none of it must be thrown away, as happens today with garbage food.
@@nessuno1948 You are the only one to tell the true story of the leftovers that have always been in Italian kitchens, always in all dishes, including meat, meatballs are born for this!
Haven't you learned by now, that's there is a proper way to do everything associated with Italian food and Eva knows them all, including the ones she made up.
not just with food. There is a proper way to do EVERYTHING! Even filling the dishwasher!
It is common know-how of an italian with good culture of national food... 😜
@@federicofaenza8675 - Of course❗️❣️❗️
None of her solutions is made up. Theseare for real the ways we cook and rmeat every day.
@@alicetwain get over it. As an example, I'm sure there has been occasion for an Italian to use or drink a French wine before and not as Eva says, a national refusal to acknowledge the French make wine.
You videos put me in a good mood and when the video is over, I'm smiling... you guys are awesome. I just discovered your channel about a week ago and im glad I did. Keep up the good work 👍
Thank you!
@@PastaGrammar Thank YOU!😁
I agree. I grew 250 tomato plants & put up 300 canning jars from pints to 1/2 gallons of Marina sauce. I am always smiling watching them.
@@GigHaba wow that's alot! 👍👌
Thank you so much for the leftover naked pasta & leftover sauced pasta recipes Eva & thank you Harper for suggesting the leftover sauced pasta recipes.
I have a pasta sin, I think that I need to confess.
I am a serious leftover cold sauced pasta addict lol.
I love the taste of cold sauced pasta. The flavors are so much better the next couple of days, especially when the pasta is cold.
I love having cold lasagna & other leftover sauced pastas cold with a nice green salad for lunch or dinner the next few days after I make a nice big pot of pasta, especially when the weather is hot.
It never lasted long when my 5 kids were young but now that they're grown I can have my cold pasta & salad any time I want.
It also helps stretch my food budget out now that I'm disabled & retired.
I also make a killer Cheesy Albacore Tuna Pasta Casserole with wide egg noodles or cork screw tri colored pasta that's so good cold, with a green salad during the Summer lol.
Am I the only pasta lover who loves cold sauced pastas?
Let me know if any of you like cold pastas too.
All of her recipes here can be made with sauced pasta too. If you want a really quick solution, just melt some unsalted butter in a pan, add you pasta, and fry it until crispy. (Use oil if you are a southern Italian, but here in polentonia we know butter makes it crispier.)
Hi guys !!! If there is one thing I hate in this life is re heated pasta !!. I would rather die than eat it (I feel this way since I was a kid)
But Eva gave me some good options to try specially the pasta Fritatta.
Have a great day both of you and thanks for brighten my sunday mornings
i luv Eva’s tell of sloooooowwwly rotating/waving her fork hand when she really is in the food experience zone...
Literally never miss an episode of this couple.
that recipe is disgusting to my Italian born and raised soul. No thanks
@@PrestoMediaProductions which recipe?
My family makes pasta fritta with leftover pasta, with eggs, Parmesan, salt and pepper fry until slightly crispy 😋
We do this! Perfect for picnic and you can layer in anything-tomato, cheese, ham, as Eva does. We slice at the beach or park.
that last dish reminded me of a Greek dish we do called Pastitchio, all three dishes looked great. Thanks for another great video
Thank YOU!
Great recipes for leftover pasta! Definately going to try some of those.
These videos are exactly why I love this channel so much. I'm not a wonderful cook but I do like to eat tasty and relatively healthy food. So I'm learning a lot from watching and trying to implement some of it in my daily life. Thank you Eva and Harper and good luck with opening that restaurant, at least that's what I read somewhere in the comments.
Lots of love from the Netherlands.
P.S. All the dislikes are from Gordon Ramsay and his friends. They're still pissed about the carbonara video.
Thank you! 😘😘😘
I am so proud to be italian and watching this video right when Eva was preparing tagliatelle with besciamella ..that music brought tears to my eyes....sei bravissima....
Grazie!
Un giorno vengo a trovarvi in America....giuro
Sei il benvenuto!
Siete fantastici!!
When I was growing up we had one way to reheat pasta. My mother made what she called "Rusty macaroni", because our leftovers were always dressed with red sauce. She simply fried it until it was mostly crunchy and the best parts were blackened.
Geez, these leftover modifications looks like works of art! They're so colorful. I know they taste as good as they look! Thanks so much for posting this!
My family from Calabria makes this frittata a lot too! It is one of my favourites. We even serve it cut in cubes with toothpicks as appetizers at gatherings. It’s even good chilled as leftover. We typically add ricotta and homemade salami in it. I will try the ham and smoked mozzarella looks so good!
This hits home. I‘m half Swiss, half Croatian and I’m still trying to teach my love that there are leftovers to use and that there are so many variations. 😅 Love you two.!
Before Eva puts it in the oven: "Oh wow! This looks great!"
Eva puts it in the oven: *pikachu awe*
Love the hand movements...love the smiles.
I’ve got to say, that last tagliatelle dish was the pièce de résistance. I absolutely must try it next time I make tagliatelle alla Bolognese.
Seeing the joy and love he has watching her list types of pasta was very heart warming
checking this channel has been a weekly habbit, thanks for the tips!
I love building a new meal from a leftover. Thank you so much for the ideas!
My Italian sense is tingling, that can only mean one thing- Harper is cooking again
Eva e' davvero brava e conosce perfettamente la cucina italiana classica! Complimenti!
Congrats again Eva and Harper..such great recipes as always. Eva being a great cook as always and Harper always challenging Eva to be on top of the game. A whole new game to leftover pasta.
I could hear this woman speaking all day!!! ❤ ❤ ❤
These recipes look so awesome!! I have NEW faves to add to my recipe collection!! Have you guys ever thought of creating a cookbook? That would be amazing!
It’s definitely something we’ve thought quite a bit about. Stay tuned! 😉
@@PastaGrammar I would definitely buy it!
Oh the magic of the frittata.
These were standard fare in my grandmother's kitchen after school instead of milk and cookies...it's amazing what you can do with leftovers and eggs
Frittata di pasta >>>>>>>>>> tutto il resto
Edit: the intro is fookin' epic
brava!!! i tuoi video non insegnano solo come cucinare in vero stile italiano ma insegnano anche lo spirito con cui cucinare!!! awesome yours video don't teach just how to cook in a true italian stile but also the soul we put in.. remember my mom...
Thank you!!!
Me: thinking about being lazy and using the microwave
In my head*
Eva: This is for dogs!
Harper: *chuckling
Me: ... Maybe I should actually cook
LOL
Ultramodern cooking with microwaves:
Remember kids, you can toast dried peppers very quickly in the microwave, but do it too long and it's like a teargas cannister going off in your house.
Grazie ragazzi per portare la bandiera italiana alta all'estero!!❤❤ finalmente qualcuno che sfata i miti sulla nostra cucina e gli fa vedere quella vera😍😍
Grazie mille!
i was married to an italian from abruzzi 30 years ago, her family owned a restaurant, how i was wished that i have discovered my passion for food and cooking then particularly italian food, who knows it might have saved our marriage. Anyway ahora si mangia
This is a godsend of a video for me. I DESPISE reheated pasta and I hate wasting unused pasta. Thanks!
This is great! We always make frittata, but I am so excited to try your other recipes.
I have been using Misen (?) pans for 4 years and will only buy their brand ever again. My husband purchased them from a professional cooking store and were hooked.
Live you Channel and watch as often as I can, even though I’m totally gluten-free and lactose free. There is much please in watching and hearing both your pleasure eating such wonderful food‼️
The intro was so good!
Let me tell you I don't get expressed much watching cooking videos but I love watching what ava cook she is so talented. Being Italian my self and not much of a pasta eater but when I watch her she makes it look so delicious. Brava
Show idea.....Guide to Italian wines? I'm sure there are a lot regional varieties .
And possible pairings with Italian foods from those regions,
Good challenge but it's not easy. We have a lot of excellent wines 😉
The gambero rosso italian wines guide isn't even 20$
From south to north Italians wines are good all.
Yes! Especially some of the sweeter wines. I had many friends who were Italian immigrants, mainly from the south, when I was younger and I used to love some of the sweeter wines (especially the reds) they would serve.
Dry red wines are all the rage, I know, but I've always enjoyed the sweeter reds when I can find them. I usually end up getting derisive looks or looks of horror from staff when I ask for their sweet red selections but... eh! I guess I'm just a peasant at heart.
@@kezkezooie8595
No, you're not.
Love this, I never have any leftovers, because I reinvent them daily, nothing gets wasted.
Hello! I only log into TH-cam to comment on my appreciation for the videos on Pasta Grammar 😉
Random question for both of you:
Have you heard the phrase "Se mia nonna avesse le ruote, sarebbe una bicicletta", I think it's my favourite Italian saying so far, I first heard of it from Italian/UK chef Gino "Sheffield" D'Acampo.
Thank you and yes, we heard about that and Gino!!! 😂😂😂😂
Grandissima!!!! La pasta avanzata... Grossa risorsa per nuovi piatti....
Well looks like I'm attempting some more of these recipes 😂 oh and crunchy pasta is the best, along with the slightly burnt corners 😋 you guys as always rocked
Thank you!
I work a 12 hr overnight shift and your guys' videos are the first thing I watch before bed, thank you for sharing
The Fusilli Pasta Dish Looked Amazing!!
Sempre più bravi
Great Italian Sunday ✌😉 very close to 100K 👍👍👍 I have been following since 2K! Felíz Domingo! Viva Italia Viva USA Viva Ecuador 🇪🇨 y Viva el Mundo Entero!!!! 🌎🌍🌏
😍😍😍😍
I wonder Harper does Eva try to feed you and any visitors you have, all the time? My Italian Mother-in-law came to America when she was 9 years old and when I was dating my wife my future Mother-in-law always offered me food when ever I walked in her house. And after I was married she would often ask my wife if she was feeding me properly. And once she knew my favorites those dishes would always be there when we were over. If I didn't have seconds she worried that I didn't like it !
That sounds like my house. LOL.
sounds about right hahhahahahha
From Everybody Loves Raymond:
Are you hungry dear?
No Ma.
I'll heat you up something.
That's quite normal, yep.
La frittata di spaghetti!! My parents were born in Calabria and my mother often made this. Thank you for this!
Thank you!
Fun fact, the molecular structure of cooked pasta changes after being chilled and reheated, making it have less of an impact on blood sugar levels
That is amazing about the lower impact on blood sugar levels. Diabetics would benefit.
Harper you really push her buttons. My two favorite "youtubers" Slowly watching all the videos. You guys rock !Harper you are a very lucky man.
1. Open refrigerator and leave door open. 2. Stand by open refrigerator door. 3. Using your fingers, eat the macaroni cold before anyone else can get to it. Preferably at 2, 3 AM at your mom's house. There's never enough to share anyway, so don't feel guilty.
I'm Maltese, and grew up with the leftover pasta dish called Froja, which is very similar to Frittata di pasta. Frittata di pasta/Froja is by far IMO the most delicious way to reuse pasta.
My family typically use the following ingredients for Maltese Froja: spaghetti or other long pasta, lots of fresh chopped parsley, fresh garlic (to taste), pepper and salt, paprika (optional) Parmesan cheese, and of course eggs and a bit of milk or cream.
Makes that all together, and pop into a pan with some hot oil and cook it the same way as frittata di pasta. It is divine.
I get so excited every Sunday cuz of you guys. Love from India! 😂😁
Please don’t change a thing , your program is relaxing , entertaining and honourable. Thankyou .Hello from Alberta .
Mancolicani mangiano la pasta scaldata nel microonde ahahahaah
Almeno daje na saltata in padella con un po' d'olio 😅
ma serio!!
Ahhhhh I have not the words to describe the delight your videos bring to me!
Thank you!
My dad made this for us for breakfast for my entire life. 😂
Thanks Eva for the suggestions.
Looking For an Italian Friend who is willing to invite me in their home to Eat different italian foods
Come on over.
@@nancymiller349 invite my self too Nancy 😊 also I can cook some Italian recipes too, I'm Brazilian and my grandma is italian .
@@brasilamericano wouldn't that be fun. It would be nice to actually meet some of the people we talk to online. I would enjoy that. If you're ever in Connecticut hey, send me a message on here.
Come to Sicily you'll be my guest
@@nancymiller349 Day & time? ;)
Oh Mamma Mia !!! Yes, the crispy parts are out of this world 💖... you deserve each other in the most loving way - thank you for your gifts 🎁
This show has made me want an Italian girlfriend
To be fair not every italian is good at cooking, I'm italian and I'd rather eat something to heat in the microwave than cooking, I might be a shame for my grandma 🤣
You cannot generalize of course but you will have a very good chance that she'll be a pretty good cook
@@thatwantoncat Yes, but he will have to go to Italy to find her and maybe stay there forever. Many Italian girls don't want to leave the family.
The battle is now lost, the family that continued the tradition has been destroyed by the American way of life, there will be few girls, my personal experience, young Italians who know how to cook, Eva is an exception, and in fact she was from the south and her dishes are almost always from there, but Italy is bigger, it also includes the center and the north!
@@OoPlumCakeoO I'm Mexican and I can day that not all mexicans know how to cook. I myself to know how to cook and love it and back in Guadalajara my family had a restaurant
love this lady... so much love and respect for her food...watching from the caribbean
kill me now. that last dish !!! of course, I'm starving and lazy Sunday afternoon and wishing I had an "Eva" in my life.... and Harper giving us the close ups.
I always make something very similar to frittata di pasta for my kid’s, however, with a Spanish twist and add chorizo and no milk or cheese. I call it “tortilla de fideos” and I serve it with a fresh tomatoes salad, and a green salad. Now I will need to try Eva’s recipe. ❤️
The only pasta that is acceptable to reheat the day after is the one used in soups, like "pasta e fagioli". As a matter of fact soups are generally better the day after you've made it.
You are right! Truly right! ✌️😁👍
It is not true, any pasta that is with a liquid the day after is swollen and soggy, only dry pasta can bear an annealing or a heated one!
@@GDG-qq2oy Pasta e fagioli even if in liquid broth, if you put it in the fridge closed in its pot with a lid, the day after it is more tasty if re-heated... Yum! 😋
But if it happens to be too much sunny day and hot weather it is better not save any pasta, not even in the fridge... It will sure became sloppy and disgusting as you said and a culture broth terroir for bacteria...
We cook the pasta separately and add it to the soup before serving.
Guardare questi video alle 12 è una tortura!! Bravissima Eva!!
Grazie!
"leftover pasta"? Who knew that was a thing?!
Hi..Im an Italian American girl from NYC (Dad's family from Calabria, Mom's from Parma) this is how we always did leftovers 😁 I always loved pasta the next day !! Crispy edges are the best part of the dish for sure!!
Oh please. No way y'all ever have leftovers 😂
😂😂😂😂
Such a lucky man Harper. You're eating the best food in the world!!!!!
I’m unfamiliar with “leftover pasta.”
I read this in the voice of Ron Swanson.
Eva that’s how I make my left over pasta I am Sicilian Even if there is some with sauce put in a pan and scramble eggs with cheese delicious
i fully agree this is perfect for breakfast
Brava Eva. Sei creativa, e per questo ti stimo. Mi piacciono i vostri Video.
Grazie!!!!
the crispy bits are the best
Glad nobody is home. The noises I made watching these dishes could only be heard as X-rated without the context. Great stuff, keep it up!
Hi, I'm a new Italian fan of yours. Your videos are very fun and we want to add to these three types of pasta, the typical spaghetti with tomatoes sauce advanced and cooked in a pan with mozzarella and parmigiano reggiano? Heaven!
Io vi amo entrambiiii!!!!! Siete simpaticissimiiii!!! Braviiiiii continuate così!!!! Un abbraccio da Palermo!!!!!
Grazie mille!!!
