Please make Limoncello! It’s refreshing to see someone that cooks how I cook based off of my Italian heritage. This channel makes me happy and gives me new ideas to share with my family. Eva is the best!
For real! I'm Italian and I'm sad when I don't have some in my fridge! Can't eat pasta without it. Northern Italians can't have enough parmesan! In Southern Italy they generally prefer pecorino cheese though
@@MindMaelstrom Same for me. If I dont have parmigiano or peccorino in my fridge, I wont make pasta that day. I`m Austrian btw, maybe Italian in my heart.
I'm proud of Eva for standing up for herself and her love for penne lisce! I salute anyone with the courage to stand up for themselves and what they like even when the crowd is telling them no. That takes poise, self confidence and courage. Brava!
While I don't agree that penne lisce is the best, I do agree with your sentiments. If everybody had the same preferences, life would be very boring...and we wouldn't have so many different pasta shapes to enjoy! 😋
The pasta al tonno e limone is incredible. It is so light and tastes so refreshing in the hot weather we currently have in Germany. I added half of a diced very small red onion to it. When I eat tuna, I need onions. And the first thing my italian colleague said, when I showed her the recipe "Where's the onions?" I served this dish with a simple tomatoe salad at the side.
You know, just when I fear this will become another “recipe of the week” channel (fun, but risking becoming just another RUclips cooking channel), you two twist things just enough to keep it fresh. Summer in Calabria, inside a centuries old building no less, well how cool is that. And of course the recipes are fantastic and fun as always. Eva’s teaching is brilliant, she doesn’t just dictate steps, she explains the spirit and behind each step. Gosh I love my Sunday mornings with this channel. PS yes to the limoncello and also, there’s that thing Italians do where they tie a bottle to a tree branch and cause a fruit to grow into the bottle. That would be so great to see and learn.
PLEEEASE make some Limoncello! 😊 I'm amazed at all the Summer "raw" sauces that not only look incredible, but can keep anyone from slaving on a hot stove too long. Thank you, Eva and Harper, for showing us more of Eva's hometown, and have a great week!
Both of my sons have been in Italy (all over the country!) several times. My first son on scholarship from pre-med school at college & my youngest son backpacked across Europe 😅 while on vacation from his Engineering job with Corp. Apple in CA. A beautiful, wonderful country for food, people & entertainment!♥️
So happy that you get to spend the summer in Calabria and learn more about their culture and traditions that you both share with those of us who can't Thank You both!❤
Yes! Make limoncello, and crema di limoncello! Can you talk about the different ratios of sugar/alcohol/water that people use? My limoncello usually gets very thick in the freezer. If there’s any other alcohol you make, please share that too!
I'm American, but I grow everything - from garlic and shallots to tomatoes, eggplant, beets, lettuce, onions, leeks, zucchini, potatoes, and cucumbers. And Rosemary, dill, basil, sage, thyme, and oregano. I eat raw as much as possible.
I don't know what you think but in my opinion eating seasonal food makes you part of the nature. Also, I believe that it gives you the best nutrients you need in that particular moment of the year.
They are living proof that you can eat pasta and stay slim and healthy. I ate pasta every day in Rome and dropped pounds. We cooked everything ourselves, used fresh ingredients and never drank sodas or snacked between meals. No fast food, no snacking, ne prepared meals full of additives and trans fats, normal portions, fruits for desert except for special occasions…. Easy peasy.
This is the "secret" ! It is often the various sauces (like how they use in America full of cream, full of various fats) that are fattening, the sometimes exaggerated portions. Everything people drink and eat during the day, lots of drinks full of sugar and other unhealthy things, etc.
Plus, Americans and Canadians tend to have more of a car culture, whereas in Italy, they take public transit and, then, walk everywhere. And, frequently, that means walking up and down hills. My best friend lives in Liguria. So, so many hills. So much climbing hills. We visited Cinque Terre. The one village has the train station at the bottom of the hill, so you have to climb well over 300 steps to get to the village itself. All the other villages have the train station at the top of the hill, so you go down the stairs to get to the village, but then, you have to climb all the stairs to get back to the train station. No escalators or elevators, to my knowledge.
@@PastaGrammar I wish you all the best on your endeavour to gain weight. Might I recommend focaccia (the kind they make in Liguria) every morning for breakfast? I'm sure they have omnivore options that I haven't even looked at, but I know that they make several amazing herbivore options. Like the one with cipolito or olives, etc.
When I spent a summer in Italy, we ate pasta everyday. It’s like a side dish here. It’s not a huge bowl as the only dish. I didn’t gain any weight. Also, you walk a lot there.
Here in the high desert of Oaxaca Mexico we're very lucky to have fresh produce all year long. I have tomato plants in my garden and although they produce fewer vine ripened tomatoes in January they do produce SOME. And people from the countryside all around bring their own fresh produce to market so there is always abundance. Love the videos in Calabria and getting all sorts of wonderful ideas. All the best to Eva Harper and tutti i cittadini, Jim
Would love an entire video on Limoncello and recipes to use it in. 🍋 And also, Harper...get Eva a pepper mill. 🤌🏻 No Italian should ever 'shake' their pepper out. 😆 Grazie!
Grazie!! Even in the US, dishes are seasonal! Zucchini dishes, tomato dishes, canning tomatoes for the year, using garlic scapes, eggplant and cucumbers. The escarole is fresh, and the ingredients are all used up in amazingly simple ways!! I enjoyed this video so much! Enjoy your summer in Italy 🇮🇹
I made the Pasta al Tonno e Limone tonight for my family and it was absolutely delicious! A big hit with the wife and kids. Grazie mille Eva and Harper.
Finally you showed Pasta a la checca. It’s a stable for the past 20 years in my family during summertime. I do this dish every single week in summer. The only difference in my recipe is that I use garlic and instead of Oregano I use basil.
so basically, you change the two most potent ingridients making it a whole different dish. and yeah, not gonna lie, i love the basil/garlic one as well.
@@followp actually I learned my version from two Italians over 20 years ago and they called it checca too. So in my perspective it’s not a whole new dish., just a different version of it.
Interesting how integral pasta water is in preparation of these dishes. I also enjoy watching how calm and methodical Eva is in the kitchen. Thank you for sharing these recipes!
Growing up in Italy, I always prepared pasta alla checca without knowing its name! (you never stop learning) It's literally my fav pasta when summer comes!😍and it's perfect for picnics or when you go to the sea!
Well, my summer pasta dishes as an italian are: my very own variant of Alla Checca, adding prosciutto crudo, olives, garlic and basil, and diced tomatoes cold pasta, with oil, garlic, parsley, basil and parmisan. I cool off the pasta by running cold water on the colander and eventually add extra salt to the "pasta salad".
Thankfully I can get that variety of pasta here in Scotland....it's the only brand I now use, there is only a small store in my hometown that carries this brand but it's so much better than any other I've tried! Best wishes from Old Scotland guys.❤❤
I'm glad to see you two living your dream. Looking forward to your videos for years to come. One thing I will say is while your videos aren't the most clickbait when I watch them(and I've watched every one) without fail by the end I'm in love and have to make at least one of the dishes in the video, thanks a ton for showing the world true italian food. Without a doubt the best in cuisine in the world overall then any other nation in my opinion because it taste like heaven, most dishes are simple and it's actually healthy.
I am going to try all these, they look delish! I would love to see a limoncello episode and any lemon desserts. Every winter my moms co-workers give us the most juicy lemons and I’m always looking for recipes to use them all.
That's beautiful. It brings to mind a salad I got the recipe to a long time ago. It's, if I remember right, salad greens, with hot chicken and you mixed fresh basil leaves in with it. That you can triggers the taste and smell of the basil. It's decadent.
Every time I go back to Bulgaria from the USA, and pick fruits and veggies from my mom’s garden, I am stunned how differently they taste… Nothing in the USA compares, incl farmers market, organic, etc.
Eva taught me to dump a LOT of salt in my spaghetti water 😂. I always scared dumping too much salt in my boiling water when cooking pasta until I saw how much she put hers. It does make a LOT of difference. ❤
I just made it yesterday 😅without knowing the name 😊I'm from padova, in the north of Italy 🇮🇹 I'm referring to the first recipe... But all of them are in our veins ❤
This video showed up in my Recommended... I watched and I ❤! So then I watched a few other videos! I absolutely love your videos/channel! I am so glad of the recommendation! Thank you, watching feom Cleveland, Ohio!
I thought Eva was going to have a "Jessica Simpson" moment about the "Chicken of the Sea" tuna! hahaha I hate canned tuna here in Brazil. Here with my best friend who is from Rome. When he saw that jarred tuna, he went nuts and said how great it is and now wants to find that at an import store here so I can try it! He said he just eats it right from the jar!
Ciao Eva and Harper! I have to say a BIG thank you. Your recipes are saving me during São Paulo’s worst heat wave ever recorded. I’m from Recife, in the northeast of Brasil, a warmer area, but nothing prepared me to the heat we have been facing this week, and finding your videos saved me! ❤ I’ve done the summer recipes and they are SO good! Much more than I anticipated. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Can’t wait for more Calabrian summer recipes 😊
A big YES for making limoncello!!!! Love your Utube videos! Wish I was there cooking with you!! Love Italy, so glad you are there for the summer..... Good times....🍾🥂
We make the Pasta a La Checca, refrigerate overnight and have it cold the following evening. Add some olive oil, toss and serve. Here in Phoenix AZ we love as many cold meals as we can get! Thank you. 😘
In Australia during the pandemic is was ristretti (?). Rice like pasta. Shelves stripped but for this pasta, which is actually a wonderful soup pasta. Underrated.
Y'all need to have Eva try pastas from around the world. Ramen & Soba from Japan for example, it would also be funny to have both of you try chopsticks.
When I make crudaiola (checca) I like to dice the toms and salt them in a colander, so they lose some liquid. Then I garnish them in a bowl on which I rubbed a garlic clove, but I do not add the garlic itself, and use dried ricotta or cacioricotta (for an Apulian twist) and basil.
This episode makes my heart sing!! I will make these pastas every summer... Def a must! Thank you for this, and all of your amazing content!! Regarding the penne lisce... Vive la differenza!!
When he said small bite I thought he was trying to trick her into saying yes only to then devour the whole thing 😂 your self control impressed me Harper! Bravo Eva ❤️
I made the third dish today with two modifications: I used homemade goat ricotta that was left after baking a lemon ricotta cake today, and; I used gluten free spaghetti as that was the only pasta I had and it is a 25 km drive to the grocery store. It was delicious! ❤
It’s time for a role reversal speak Italian only episode where Harper cooks American food speaking Italian and Eva critiques and comments on the completed dish…😂
Harper, Ava, I made eggplant parm today. I was taught to bread the eggplant. I was also taught to make ricotta as if it was going into ravioli. I spread this between the layers. Mama mia my nonna was always right. You should see how I make cardoona. She was a genius. I miss her after 60 years! Love you guys!
OMG I made the PASTA RICOTTA E POMODORINI RECIPE and it was a big hit! My husband loved it. I’m Italian from Calabria also but I moved to Canada when I was 1 years old. But we spoke Italian at home and my mom made a lot of traditional Italian recipes. Thanks again for the great recipe. I’m going to try the one with the tuna next 😊.
Here we are also dealing with very light dishes because we have to keep in mind that it is not the pasta (of course, the portions also) which makes you fat, but it is the seasoning (the fatty sauces as used, for example, in America) that is used on the pasta that makes you fat. Whereas here we have light, natural and healthy products.
Che meraviglia...! Dal paese, ai sapori che ricreate in cucina, potrei sentire quasi la freschezza di quella stanza e l'odore della pietra! Vi auguro tanta serenità in questo periodo in cui resterete a Dasà! Vi adoro ragazzi! Ogni volta trovo ricette nuove da acquolina in bocca! Create il mio ricettario migliore!! Suggerimento: avete già fatto un video a tema "spiaggia e borsa frigo"?
I'm saddened that Eva doesn't like Pasta Salad. It's one of my favorite dishes. Mine is different from most people's as I make it with fresh tomatos, green peppers, black olives, thinly sliced red onion, capers, store bought italian salad dressing and of course the pasta cooked to a firm al dente and everything is refridgerated overnight to blend. Easy, fresh and delicious.
Fyi though, "Italian salad dressing" isn't a thing in Italy 😅 the only thing we put on salads is olive oil and salt. Then, only if you like it, you can choose between balsamic vinegar, black pepper or a squeeze of lemon
You two make an adorable couple and even better partners. Your videos are hilarious, entertaining, and excellent tutorials. Enjoy your summer!!! In Bocca al lupo!!! 🇮🇹 ♥️
You've made pizza but I think the second most popular item in a pizzeria is panzerotto, with tomatoes, mozarella, capers, mortadella. I think that there is a certain time of the year when everybody makes a lot of it, maybe around the christmas holidays.
ngl never seen that in the pizzerie i've been to, and i'm from pozzuoli... must be something from other areas. crocché are more the second most popular item i'd say along fries and zeppole.(not the sweet ones)
@@iota-09 My mother was from Puglia and I researched panzerotti and it turns out that you're right. It's only popular in that region of Italy. Calzone is similar but, its made in a oven, where as panzerotti are fried and much smaller.
Harper, "I know you don't like pasta salad" *nervous laughter* Harper to self, "but this is sorta liiike pasta salad" 😂😂😂 You can tell they are married lmao. My husband knows how not to pick a fight me me too
Years ago, the was a Japanese restaurant in Eugene, Oregon: "Shiki," which name means "four seasons." Their menu changed four times a year, always offering seasonal foods. Now I want there to be an Italian restaurant done that way!
I tried this recipe and I must say, It was simply delicious. My daughter doesn’t favours uncooked tomatoes but she was amazingly surprised that she actually truly enjoyed them in this pasta.
This Channel will NEVER go downhill 😀 best 👌 one of them on here and breaks it down with fun and honesty even you admit when you went more or less on Indgredients. My top 5 Channels if I need a authentic Italian Recipe I don't make or know how. You actually teaches me stuff I dod not know. Thanks Champ 🏆 🤝
❤ I just love your videos. I am so glad I found you! I was able to go to Italy for two weeks in 1990 as part of my college education and it is still the best two weeks of my life. You make me feel like I can be there in my own kitchen. Thank you so much for your hard work!
Si si with the limoncello. I've been macerating some peel now for three weeks. Wonder how much longer. Ordered lemons from an organic farm in California. Three times the cost in local stores but well worth it. Your summer pasta dishes look wonderful and simple.
That room is amazing. That building is awesome. Really cool to see the show from there. Great show. And if that building could talk about every stone laid to build it would be a most fascinating story.
I just found your channel a few weeks ago and have even going back through past years and I am so enjoying your both of you very much, and pleased to know you live here in Tucson. I was born and raised here in Tucson and love it here. I am also 1/4 Italian on my Dad's side of the family. I am a very good cook and enjoy trying all kinds of different types of cuisine. But Italian is my most favorite. Love your story of how you met and all the different types of Italian dishes you make. Thank you so much!!!!!
I have a similar summer pasta recipe, everything the same as yours with the addition of chick peas, black olives and fresh parsley. One of my favorites!
I started making this after having had it in front of the Fontana di Trevi, and grape tomatoes are wonderful down under. I don't add the cubed cheese, I do cherry tomatoes, basil, parsley, fresh herbs from the garden but not annoyingly aromatic (!), a slurp of balsamic or pomegranate molasses, and a lot of olive oil and serve with Parmigiano Reggiano (the state of mind). :)
What's your favorite light & fresh SUMMER recipe? What do you like to eat on a hot day?
I loved this video, thank you so much.
Gazpacho! It's cold, crunchy, flavorful...😋🥰😘
bruschetta on toasted sourdough!
Did you say lemon jello? YES PLEASE
Salmorejo. Cold Crema di Zucchini or zucchini flowers stuffed with mozzarella...
Please make Limoncello! It’s refreshing to see someone that cooks how I cook based off of my Italian heritage. This channel makes me happy and gives me new ideas to share with my family. Eva is the best!

I love this woman! She is so knowledgeable and explains history so well.
When I moved to Ukraine I understood the joy of seasonal foods only. We grow our own also, and it's all organic. My health has never been better.
Astonishing thing to say for a Ukrainian right now 😎
i moved to ukraine also, lviv, and am still learning about seasonal foods, i know what you mean!!

When I make crudaiola (checca) I like to dice the toms and salt them in a colander, so they lose some liquid. Then I garnish them in a bowl on which I rubbed a garlic clove, but I do not add the garlic itself, and use dried ricotta or cacioricotta (for an Apulian twist) and basil.
This episode makes my heart sing!! I will make these pastas every summer... Def a must! Thank you for this, and all of your amazing content!!
Regarding the penne lisce... Vive la differenza!!
During cov 19 in Australia, risoni was the only pasta left on our supermarket shelves!
Id loved to see how Eva makes red pepper pasta!😊
When he said small bite I thought he was trying to trick her into saying yes only to then devour the whole thing 😂 your self control impressed me Harper! Bravo Eva ❤️
I made the third dish today with two modifications: I used homemade goat ricotta that was left after baking a lemon ricotta cake today, and; I used gluten free spaghetti as that was the only pasta I had and it is a 25 km drive to the grocery store. It was delicious! ❤
Goat ricotta is fantastic!
I made this using farfalle and fresh herbs from my garden. It was very tasty.
It’s time for a role reversal speak Italian only episode where Harper cooks American food speaking Italian and Eva critiques and comments on the completed dish…😂
That sounds fun!
Just found this Channel. Started watching your Videos. So far I've really enjoyed it and enjoy the simplicity of many of the dishes you make!
I absolutely love it when she says, ' Parmigiano is not an aged cheese it is a state of mind' 😂😂😂😂
Harper, Ava, I made eggplant parm today. I was taught to bread the eggplant. I was also taught to make ricotta as if it was going into ravioli. I spread this between the layers. Mama mia my nonna was always right. You should see how I make cardoona. She was a genius. I miss her after 60 years! Love you guys!
Hello,
Just found these pasta dishes for Summer . I cant wait to try them its very hot in the US now.
Thank you.
... and now you add the mayonnaise 😂😂😂 the look on Eva's face was priceless 😂😂😂
I'm not a fan of mayo in Pasta either😂
I had kinda removed the memory that people put mayonnaise in pasta, now the memory has stricken back
OMG I made the PASTA RICOTTA E POMODORINI RECIPE and it was a big hit! My husband loved it. I’m Italian from Calabria also but I moved to Canada when I was 1 years old. But we spoke Italian at home and my mom made a lot of traditional Italian recipes. Thanks again for the great recipe. I’m going to try the one with the tuna next 😊.
Yes yes yes!!! Please make limoncello!!
Here we are also dealing with very light dishes because we have to keep in mind that it is not the pasta (of course, the portions also) which makes you fat, but it is the seasoning (the fatty sauces as used, for example, in America) that is used on the pasta that makes you fat. Whereas here we have light, natural and healthy products.
Che meraviglia...! Dal paese, ai sapori che ricreate in cucina, potrei sentire quasi la freschezza di quella stanza e l'odore della pietra! Vi auguro tanta serenità in questo periodo in cui resterete a Dasà! Vi adoro ragazzi!
Ogni volta trovo ricette nuove da acquolina in bocca! Create il mio ricettario migliore!!
Suggerimento: avete già fatto un video a tema "spiaggia e borsa frigo"?
We want the "Parmigiano is a state of mind" merch 😂
My grandparents were from Italy. We ate tuna in pasta especially on Fridays. as no Catholics it was no meat on Fridays back then. 😊
My family too. 😊
I'm saddened that Eva doesn't like Pasta Salad. It's one of my favorite dishes. Mine is different from most people's as I make it with fresh tomatos, green peppers, black olives, thinly sliced red onion, capers, store bought italian salad dressing and of course the pasta cooked to a firm al dente and everything is refridgerated overnight to blend. Easy, fresh and delicious.
Fyi though, "Italian salad dressing" isn't a thing in Italy 😅 the only thing we put on salads is olive oil and salt. Then, only if you like it, you can choose between balsamic vinegar, black pepper or a squeeze of lemon
To each, their own! Eva just prefers using different grains, like rice or barley, instead of pasta for cold dishes
Funny that “Italian salad dressing” you can buy everywhere but in Italy 😂
You two make an adorable couple and even better partners. Your videos are hilarious, entertaining, and excellent tutorials. Enjoy your summer!!! In Bocca al lupo!!! 🇮🇹 ♥️
“THEY GROW BECAUSE THEY WANT TO GROW!! MY FATHER DOESN’T TAKE CARE OF THEM!!” 💀 💀 🤣 🤣
First video I have seen by you two , your wife’s cooking I bet is amazing, her fan already 😃👍
You've made pizza but I think the second most popular item in a pizzeria is panzerotto, with tomatoes, mozarella, capers, mortadella. I think that there is a certain time of the year when everybody makes a lot of it, maybe around the christmas holidays.
ngl never seen that in the pizzerie i've been to, and i'm from pozzuoli... must be something from other areas.
crocché are more the second most popular item i'd say along fries and zeppole.(not the sweet ones)
@@iota-09 My mother was from Puglia and I researched panzerotti and it turns out that you're right. It's only popular in that region of Italy. Calzone is similar but, its made in a oven, where as panzerotti are fried and much smaller.
Being stuck in an Aussie summer I’m really looking forward to trying some of these recipes.
Harper, "I know you don't like pasta salad" *nervous laughter*
Harper to self, "but this is sorta liiike pasta salad" 😂😂😂
You can tell they are married lmao. My husband knows how not to pick a fight me me too
Just had the second recipe for our evening meal. Delicious. Thank you for these.
Years ago, the was a Japanese restaurant in Eugene, Oregon: "Shiki," which name means "four seasons." Their menu changed four times a year, always offering seasonal foods. Now I want there to be an Italian restaurant done that way!
That’s a great idea!
I’m not far from you. Im just up in Albany.
@@kylesalmon31 sorry, I moved away from Eugene in 1996. When I last visited there in 2010, the restaurant was gone.
Made with so much love and care xxx
Parmigiano is a state of mind = una cosa fondamentale tutto l’anno.
Eva, mi raccomando fate scorta di parmigiano prima di tornare in USA!
I’ve made the tuna/lemon dish a few times. I even ordered the same tuna. Love that dish.
I tried this recipe and I must say, It was simply delicious. My daughter doesn’t favours uncooked tomatoes but she was amazingly surprised that she actually truly enjoyed them in this pasta.
This Channel will NEVER go downhill 😀 best 👌 one of them on here and breaks it down with fun and honesty even you admit when you went more or less on Indgredients. My top 5 Channels if I need a authentic Italian Recipe I don't make or know how. You actually teaches me stuff I dod not know. Thanks Champ 🏆 🤝
Yes please make a video about Limoncello!!! I love all of your videos. I hope you guys are always happy, healthy, and prosperous ❤
❤ I just love your videos. I am so glad I found you! I was able to go to Italy for two weeks in 1990 as part of my college education and it is still the best two weeks of my life. You make me feel like I can be there in my own kitchen. Thank you so much for your hard work!
Si si with the limoncello. I've been macerating some peel now for three weeks. Wonder how much longer. Ordered lemons from an organic farm in California. Three times the cost in local stores but well worth it.
Your summer pasta dishes look wonderful and simple.
That room is amazing. That building is awesome. Really cool to see the show from there. Great show. And if that building could talk about every stone laid to build it would be a most fascinating story.
I love this! I'm an Italian Jewish Person, I love light food.
One of your best videos! Your passion, the food, the ambiance… it’s felt. All the best always! 🍅🇮🇹
I made the PASTA AL TONNO E LIMONE tonight. I topped it with cherry tomatoes and served with fresh bread and a rose wine. DELIZIOSI!
I just found your channel a few weeks ago and have even going back through past years and I am so enjoying your both of you very much, and pleased to know you live here in Tucson. I was born and raised here in Tucson and love it here. I am also 1/4 Italian on my Dad's side of the family. I am a very good cook and enjoy trying all kinds of different types of cuisine. But Italian is my most favorite. Love your story of how you met and all the different types of Italian dishes you make. Thank you so much!!!!!
I have a similar summer pasta recipe, everything the same as yours with the addition of chick peas, black olives and fresh parsley. One of my favorites!
I started making this after having had it in front of the Fontana di Trevi, and grape tomatoes are wonderful down under. I don't add the cubed cheese, I do cherry tomatoes, basil, parsley, fresh herbs from the garden but not annoyingly aromatic (!), a slurp of balsamic or pomegranate molasses, and a lot of olive oil and serve with Parmigiano Reggiano (the state of mind). :)
