Am 74 and Sicilian. Been eating that my entire life. It is called the Depression dish. I make it once a week and everyone loves it. I make mine with slicing the garlic and sautéing it in oil then pour it in the pasta and mix well and add Broccoli florets or Spinach. Then add the cheese.
Thank you so much for all of these wonderful recipes, the humor and the love that emanates from your Greek kitchen! They are all a nice addition to my Yiayia's treasures!
ahhh ! Thank you ! I am working hard to stay in a good state of mind, so I will try to keep them coming. I can do either red or white, although I do prefer RED !
It's nice to see you grind the garlic with salt. In the early 80s, everybody did it. I thought it was a technique lost in time until I saw you do it. Thank you.
People do this in so many countries, till today. I don’t remember that in the 80’s in the US, if that’s what you mean. Not sure why people don’t do this here. I pound garlic with salt and or lemon even green chilies depending on what I’m making. I just use a mortar and pestle though. They are used so much more in other cuisines.
@@jijiipetti1433 Maybe it was the "rise of Italian food" about 20 years ago, when everyone went to "chunks of garlic" instead of a paste. I don't know.
My mouth is just watering! I have to make tomorrow I made it and LOVED IT! Lucky for me I have a Greek friend who told me where to the the pasta and cheese from a Greek store less than a mile from my home! Outstanding flavor and so glad I found the authentic ingredients!
Allo Christine, Looks so good👀!wow! And the tips about the fresh herbs in the freezer!GREAT! It does look perfect! Thank you for sharing! Stay safe,🙏 you and your family! 👍🙋♀️🥂🍝
Thank you ! I think you will really love having freshly chopped herbs in the freezer. it's so helpful. Yes we are doing as well as can be expected. I hope you too are keeping safe and still in good spirits!
I immediately RAN to the supermarket and got all the ingridients and RAN back as fast as i could and did my best to "copy" the preparation of this divine dish. I think i did quite well, it was soooo delicious. Instead of chiliflakes i took fresh chili and instead of cutting and mashing the garlic with a knife i took a mortar to squeeze them. Thanks for the video and keep the awesome recipes coming.
During lockdown in our country I became seriously 'tired' of my old recipes & cooking in general. Complained to my husband who still thinks everything is really good. I became so bored with what I was preparing that even the ingredients were yelling - try something new with us! I am so so pleased to have had your cooking shows on my download! I am encouraged to try so many of your recipes Christine, with cupboard staples. Love the simplicity & yumminess. A huge thank you♥️
Looks great. I'll be using that garlic grinding with the salt and knife. I enjoy your honesty. " Oh, garlic on the floor. " you roll with the mistake and have fun with it all. That is true love of cooking and inspirational. Thank you for your work.
Just delicious, and you are right I think that much garlic was needed in this dish, I love garlic and pasta and cheese. I love your energy when you cook it shows your passion and the end result is just dreamy. The green eyed monster did show up when you were relishing the spaghetti.
The simplicity of the dishes and the genuine ingredients have made Italian cuisine great in the world ! Greetings from Italy ..... saluti dalla nostra bella Italia che sta purtroppo tanto soffrendo. ❤️🇮🇹 Complimenti... sei bravissima ! 👍🌹
Molto Grazie ! Italian recipes are very dear to me, as you can tell. Thank you for your kind words and we are sending you and your beautiful Italia lots of love in these very challenging times. Tomorrow I am posting a focaccia recipe. Be well!

You are such a great inspiration and source of positivity and good taste, chef Christine!! I love your channel - thank you so so much. Cheers from Brazil ;)
I’m an African-American guy who lived several years in Rome and all I can say is, “bellissimo!”. I’ve had that dish many times in Italy and soon I’m going to try it your way in my kitchen. Because it looks like the real deal!!!
Great presentation Christine and looks fantastic! This is in my rotation a couple of times a month. Easy and delish! I will have to try the garlic paste method in lieu of the chopped or paper thin sliced, which is how I usually prepare it.
I’m liking this. Always wanted to learn Italian cooking. I watched a different video of this recipe and made it, it was excellent! But your explanations about why the pasta water, and why you don’t let the garlic brown, and freezing herbs in flake form rather than cubed are enormously helpful. Thank you.
Chef Christine. Thank you for that close-up on making garlic paste from raw cloves. I have trouble with that technique and now that you've shown it up close I know what I've done wrong. Love the recipe as well, one of my favs.
Looks amazing! Thanks for the technique on making the garlic into paste. Can’t wait to try that. I’m a Horticulturist by trade but I always have had in interest in culinary arts. So far I’ve made your bolognese sauce and beef bourguignon. OMG😍 they both were to die for. My wife was blown away with those meals. Your Dad’s Pastitsio recipe that you shared is next on my list to try. Your a true inspiration. Thank you for sharing your passion for cooking and all these great recipes will all of us. Stay well and be safe❤️
Patrick Zusack thank you so much ! You have chosen the best of the best to make and I love that you love them as much as we do . Get ready for pastitsio. Oooh. Be well
Classic Italian dinner ... cut the Parmesan into large pieces accompanied by a good wine ... appetizer ... then cook your excellent dish without that. You are very good! A hug from Italy;-)
I just made it and I love it! I could never make it right, always burning the garlic. I would ask my Italian friends and they would say... you just saute the garlic in olive oil - right... lol Thank you Christine!
Simple but delicious can have it any time and you did it again perfection-taste. I just cannot wait to go to the kitchen and make it for breakfast... it is early morning here in Bahrain. We love you 😍
Yes you can reheat this pasta ( although of course when it’s fresh it’s ideal). Be sure to cook it al dente so it downs get mushy when you reheat. I hope this helps. Thank you
Christine, my mother used to do this method of garlic for Bacala, and pasta dishes. I have eczema and affects my hands even with gloves. So do you think using a garlic press is ok or not the same. I usually just throw whole garlic cloves in and fry in olive oil until it’s infused into oil then remove garlic. It’s just easier on my hands. Onions are hard on my hands as well. Oh well it will get better. Old Italian technique of pasta recipe. It’s ok to be messy, you’re an exceptional chef.
That is a great recipe and I do have those items in the kitchen, except the parsley isn't fresh though. I have to try making the dish and see how it turns out.On behalf of everyone I compliment you and thank you for showing us how easy it is to make such dishes in these hard lock down times.
I want to know more about freezing your herbs. I live alone and it seems I never use all the fresh herbs I buy. So what herbs can you do this with and how long are they good for etc?
I may have to do a little video on freezing herbs because there are some details that are too long to write in notes. I may add it to another video. Thank you
Thank you ! My camera man also really appreciates it. He is working hard to get all the beautiful close ups . Stay well and hopefully we will be out of it soon.
Marie Laveee thank you ! That’s exactly how I always intended it so I’m glad you are feeling it. I love sharing all my experience and love of food with you.
Thanks for this inspiration - I bet this would be good with some small potatoes or maybe a few shrimp per person. I personally always have shrimp in a freezer here.
My next video will be a brioche made with olive oil. I have spent a bit of time on it there but I feel we need almost another video entirely on olive oil . I need to think on it . I totally agree with you . Thank you
Dear Mrs Christine, your grace in cuisine is very enjoyable and elegant to watch. Just let me say that here in Italy we DO NOT add Parmigiano cheese to this poor as much magnificent recipe (your using of salted cooking water is perfect). More often we use to add (at the last second, not before) some grated and roasted bread (not too much thin). Bread must be crunchy and not in excess (one spoon). Someone uses - when possible - fresh green peperoncino that is little less hot than dry flakes but lightly fruity. Happy to see You're using ExtraVergin Olive Oil, that is the best and the more healthy for cooking. Maybe in the USA it's a little expensive, but it is absolutely worth the expense (keep in a dark and fresh place, best use within 15 months from vintage)
i love your videos because they have a nostalgia feel. no big fancy camera and lights, it’s like youtube back in 2012 :)
Am 74 and Sicilian. Been eating that my entire life. It is called the Depression dish. I make it once a week and everyone loves it. I make mine with slicing the garlic and sautéing it in oil then pour it in the pasta and mix well and add Broccoli florets or Spinach. Then add the cheese.

That is so great ! Yes, Italian friends are like Greek mother's " just use as much as it takes " .... for every single recipe. Glad you loved it.
Great video, glad to see more of you lately!
Thank you very much! I am trying to post more in this live style. Check out today's chocolate pudding
i love them i make it also often and indeed very little ingredients and then so much flavors.. this is delicious!! :)
It's so true. It is truly the most simple there is..
A dish you can make in less time than this video takes. In my opinion this is the best noodle dish in the world.
Simple but delicious can have it any time and you did it again perfection-taste. I just cannot wait to go to the kitchen and make it for breakfast... it is early morning here in Bahrain. We love you 😍
Fatema Albalooshi thank you so much. Be well and see you in the kitchen
i gonna try this weekend. it looks good would taste great.
Hi christine.. always like all your cooking videos. Going to try them one by one 😁 specially sphagetti aglio olio.. my kid's favourite dish 🥰
It's crazy how delicious garlic , olive oil and pasta can be... Thank you for watching
Love your videos Christine, thank you!
Is it possible to reheat the pasta, as I work shifts?
Yes you can reheat this pasta ( although of course when it’s fresh it’s ideal). Be sure to cook it al dente so it downs get mushy when you reheat. I hope this helps. Thank you
@@ChristineCushing Great! Many thanks 😊
Thank you Christine 😊
PS I did ur Carnitas recipe my husband could not stop eating it . It was perfection thank u so much
Oh thank you ! I will be making them as a birthday request tomorrow also !

Thank you so much! I send you all the best and hopefully we'll get over this quickly.
Christine, my mother used to do this method of garlic for Bacala, and pasta dishes. I have eczema and affects my hands even with gloves. So do you think using a garlic press is ok or not the same.

Other than washing? What else do you do to the Parsley before freezing pretty please??
I spin it to dry completely . Chop And freeze. That keeps it from turning into block of ice

This looks really good. What kind of Olive oil is your favorite?
Thank you ! I get my olive oil direction from Greece in the Peloponnese .
