You’re the reason I cook, signore. I found you ten years ago and have seen all your videos here, as many of your tv shows as I can find, and you “Zupa di lenticci” from Passione is my daughters favorite meal. I may never get the privilege to meet you in person, but because of you, I can feed myself, my family, and my friends. Because of you, I can work anywhere in the world, and because of you, I understand what loving life really means. You’re an inspiration to me and the best teacher I could have ever asked for. Thank you for everything you’ve done and all that you will still do. You’vechanged my life forever and I’ll never forget it.
Hey man, I have the same feeling about Mr. Contaldo. Back in 2018, I had the opportunity to meet him in person at Jamie's Italian location in east London and tell him that he was the ground pillar for my cooking skills, and, by that time, it saved my life. That day, not only did Gennaro spend almost 1 hour sitting at a table with me drinking pro-secco and talking about food, Brazil, traveling, but also went back to the kitchen to cook for me the meal. Amazing experience. Thanks for share your experience too. Hope you meet him to tell all of this.
@@lucasalmoreira Lucas, thank you!!! I hope I get to tell him in person too. Your story is inspiring and helps me see how possible it is. Thanks so much! I’ll come back and post here if the opportunity arises!
What's "zupa di lenticci"!? If anything "zuppa di lenticchie". Why is it so difficult for you Anglo-Saxons to speak and write the noble and cultured languages like Italian?
@@macsen55LoneWolf I come from an Italian family and household where we speak both languages often. Zupa di lenticci ( lentil soup) is the name of the recipe in his cookbook I referenced (the titles are written in Italian, believe it or not ;) ) and because I want to show respect to a mentor and role model, I addressed it as such. My comment to Gennaro was full of love and gratefulness. Your comment was racial and hateful. I pity people like you that live in anger and resentment their entire lives. It pains me to know that whatever your background and upbringing is/was taught you to hate. That is why things don’t change. Generational hate. It all started when real things happened to real people. It continues when the person who was taught to hate before you then hands it down. I hope you’re able to realize that actions like the ones you displayed above only serve to strengthen the continuation of something that could disappear so quickly without it. I wish you the best of luck in life. I hope you find peace.
Don't assume the chef is doing it wrong.There are high-quality non-stick pans you can use with any metal tools except sharp edges (knives etc) I own one myself
Mr. Gennaro, I was able to make the recipe...not with guanchale but bacon...absolutely deliciuos...my love and respect.... Carlos from Caracas, Venezuela.
Gennaro is the kind of person you sit and listen to for hours (and never get tired of). He´s like a grandfather, and his passion for food is beaultiful.
I thought I saw a slight scrambling going on on the side of the pan there. Only slight, though. I'm making tonight and will try to let it cool off a bit longer. So many of my carbonaras have scrambled
@@ingridferg9779 Another alternative is quickly add the pasta to a bowl and very rapidly pouring the egg to the same cold bowl. Then you mix vigorously with small amounts of pasta (only a touch). Mix it vigorously for like 5 minutes which is a lot but it is an italian traditional method that is used in rome to create a very think creamy sauce.
My boy Gennarone is getting a bit sloppy as he getting older but he's always inspiring to see him cook. I follow him for so many years him and Jamie and they gave me all this motivation to cook. 👏👏👏
Thanks Gennaro. Ingredients is the most important. As in Finland we like pure good products and I found out that we have one real Italian store close to us. Tested Carbonara with your method. My wife loved it😊
I love watching and learning from this gentleman god I would of loved to work with you I would be laughing all day and learning how to cook the best Italian meals thank you so much Gennaro
I have been making Carbonara since your older video recipe exactly just this way and I never eat any other kind of Carbonara with the cream, only this one which is the best Carbonara ever!
Hammer your Initials with a nail into the non-stick layer of the pan, turn the carbonara into noodles with scrambled eggs, fry the pancetta, until it's crunchy - I DON'T CARE!!! As long as I can watch and listen to Gennaro❣❣❣
Bello, you remain one of the bright lights of RUclips. You're a wonderful chef and your recipes are simple and flavourful--THANK YOU! God bless you and your loved ones. Ciao!
Can we please get more videos of Gennaro cooking in his own time, rather than videos of him acting in front of the camera or doing ads for products? I don't need Gennaro explain to me how to cook Carbonara for the 17th time, I just want to watch him create food that he's passionate about in a place that inspires him. I mean, by far the best videos with Gennaro are the ones where he takes his time cooking, while talking about his life in Italy.
hehe i love his videos talking about his life in Italy.... he is like the main sponsor for Parmigiano now isnt he??? lots of sponsor videos but I still love Gennaro... but agree with you :)
I wish they’d made seven or ten seasons of Two Greedy Italians. My favorite Gennaro shows and Lord do I miss Signire Carluccio as well. Read his memoirs for some real feelings.
Gennaro, Just back from work. Had yoghurt and grapes for breakfast, then watched this. Off into the garden to see if the laydeez have given eggs!! Buon apettito! Ciao, Stephen.
I learned how to make this from your old carbonara video, it's one of my fave things to make! I bought parmesan tonight so I can make it tomorrow... :)
I swear, if Gennaro was my grandpa, I would be so so happy. And I would try to cook for him! While he kicked back and relaxed in the lemon or olive groves.
I just love watching you cook! You look so much like my Father and you have his passion for cooking❤️ I miss him so much so watching you brings him back to me in a sense❤️ I am 2nd generation Here in the US. His roots come from both southern and the Tuscany region❤️ thank you for wonderful content!
Gennaro...My dream in life is to one day cook with you and then sit down to eat dinner with you and to listen to your stories of your life. Thanks for sharing your vast talents with all of us!
I'm so happy because my town (Gouda, yes, where the cheese comes from) finally has a shop that sells guanciale. And it's like Gennaro says, it's almost transparant.
It's not very common where I live, but recently there was an international market where I managed to buy some from an Italian butcher. A bit expensive, but completely different taste than our bacon. Definitely worth it.
Looks like the egg curdled a bit due to too much residual heat in the pan... It's not a massive deal, but just pointing out that detail(maybe turn off the hob before adding the pasta water, or waiting a bit longer before adding the mixture...
I agree, but I think he noticed that mistake too, that the heat was a little too high. Also I would have added a bit more pasta water in the pan and would have used no extra salt. Pasta water, Guanciale and Parmesan should give enough of salt.

Though not mentioned in this video, I guess all fans can hear Gennaro's motto: "Why I'm cooking so good?"
He’s cooking scrambled eggs very well indeed 😂
This fork scratching the non-stick pan scratches my heart
they can get new one😂
Don't assume the chef is doing it wrong.There are high-quality non-stick pans you can use with any metal tools except sharp edges (knives etc) I own one myself
As I say to my kids, just because you can doesn't mean you should.
@@acciid This doesn't make any sense. You can use metal tools without damaging those pans. They're literally designed for that.
@@yellowknife8223 Usually they are not meant to be scratched with something sharp. Metal spatula? May be. Fork or knife? Absolutely not
No Italian recipes are the same as Gennaros recipes and personality. Always the best!
Mr. Gennaro, I was able to make the recipe...not with guanchale but bacon...absolutely deliciuos...my love and respect.... Carlos from Caracas, Venezuela.
Gennaro is the kind of person you sit and listen to for hours (and never get tired of). He´s like a grandfather, and his passion for food is beaultiful.
"You don't want scrambled eggs" proceed to turn his dish in an omelette :D It's all good Gennaro loving the vibes in your videos as always.
Yeah I noticed that too. He didn’t let the pan cool down enough, and he scrambled the eggs!
I thought I saw a slight scrambling going on on the side of the pan there. Only slight, though. I'm making tonight and will try to let it cool off a bit longer. So many of my carbonaras have scrambled

I too have been betrayed by the pan while making carbonara. Those thick bottoms are unfit for tempering eggs. Love from Brazil
Next video in English Tanks 😁👍🇬🇧
I don't know why you are cooking so good. But I knew why I am cooking so good - that's because you teached me!
Thank you so much!
My boy Gennarone is getting a bit sloppy as he getting older but he's always inspiring to see him cook. I follow him for so many years him and Jamie and they gave me all this motivation to cook. 👏👏👏
Thank you Gennaro. Always a pleasure to have you in our kitchen. You are an amazing gentleChef
5:50 Gennaro's instinctive flinch to pick up the spatula that fell onto the floor but then realised he's on camera (probably) made me smile :))
If you dont have Pecorino sure, go for Parmesan, but Pecorino has such more character, it makes a big difference.
isnt that goat cheese
@@opvask its sheep
100% agree
Pecorino is a MUST
Perfect. Love it so much. Thanks God for Gennaro.
I love you Gennaro, your energy is amazing and your cooking is legendary!
Same
Simply and perfect! Thank you.
I love watching Gennaro cook & I’m a chef!!
Thanks Gennaro. Ingredients is the most important. As in Finland we like pure good products and I found out that we have one real Italian store close to us. Tested Carbonara with your method. My wife loved it😊

His younger him wouldnt approve of it .. he didn't even add enough pepper ..

I've always used 2 whole eggs to be fair and it always turned out magnificent and mouthwatering. It's always a joy to watch Gennaro
I do the same.
same here. i don't think they used to throw half the egg away.
I tried this! Perfecto!
Best Cook i`ve ever seen, thanks a lot Gennaro :)
I watched your friend Antonio video about carbonara. It was a start for me in cooking. You both are amazing. God bless you.
I'm salivating, need to cook this asap. I wanna be as happy as Sir Contaldo
Bello, you remain one of the bright lights of RUclips. You're a wonderful chef and your recipes are simple and flavourful--THANK YOU! God bless you and your loved ones. Ciao!
This is so good..I just made this...love this channel
Vou ter que fazer está receita. Parece delicioso 😋
There is Gennaro with his amazing recipe and Monday looks much more better ☺😉 thanks 👏
I love watching your videos. With what pleasure you cook ... mmm. Tomorrow evening I will definitely cook carbonara. Thanks! ☺☺☺
👌🤗 Exactly what I needed for trying this!
I never get bored of your cooking skill and your temperament. ❤❤
Making this tonight. Watched your recipe from 7 yrs ago with the bertolli butter added.
Making this recipe.
Made this carbonara was mouthwatering :P thanks for the instructions !! :)
My most favourite chef. Makes everything look so simple and the reason I can make Italian food…..

I've been cooking carbonara using one of your older recipes. It always turns out great and I promise there is never any cream near it!
You should teach Gennaro to make a good carbonara instead of producing scrambled eggs like he did in this video 😂
@@achimbahnen Hey, at least he called it before mixing the egg in - he had time restraints...
😋👌 Супер!!!! Браво Дженаро!!!👏👏
Maravilloso 👏👏👏👏👏
ima try this during the weekend. looks delicious
Love this guy.
Your cooking is an art 💙
I love your videos thank you
I simply love Gennaro
Great Gennaro!
You really are the best. Sending love from Australia
Gennaro, Just back from work. Had yoghurt and grapes for breakfast, then watched this. Off into the garden to see if the laydeez have given eggs!! Buon apettito! Ciao, Stephen.
My favourite chef
Grazie mila!
Bravo Maestro!.
I learned to make carbonara from one of your earlier videos. My favourite pasta! Love to see the passion you cook with
Yes, but in that one he used pecorino, which is in my opinion how it should be.. but Parmesan cheese goes as well
Try to cook his risotto! That is something!
You are my favoriete chef.
Thx for this , every time i looking your kooking things
Greetz from Holland
Mvg : Corne
Perfection, Genaro makes me love italian kitchen more than any other kitchen in the world
Classic recipe und one of my favourites, but pls use Pecorino or a mix of both. Not only Parmesan :)
I learned how to make this from your old carbonara video, it's one of my fave things to make! I bought parmesan tonight so I can make it tomorrow... :)
So Simples!
G makes it look so easy, and it is.
AMO COMO HACE LOS FIDEOS, SALUDOS DESDE ARGENTINA!!!!!
That looks so good.
Never seen an omelet with pasta before.. Nice job!
❤❤amazing
Gennaro, you're the best😊
Grande chef Contaldo🙏🙋🏻♂️Buona Lunedi 🙏Thanks for valuble sharing🙋🏻♂️
I love his dishes and i love him :D

I just love u Gennaro...u are my favorite handsome chef!!!!
Beautiful looking dish insegnante, I’ve always been afraid to try this dish for fear of scrambling the eggs. Thank you so much.
The trick is to wait until the sizzling stops. Then add the eggs and they won't scramble.
@@acciid oh cool, thank you 😊
That looks damn good! 🤤
