This is one of the reasons why I LOVE your channel: You don’t just insult things you don’t like. Plus you don’t insult people who like bad food, you don’t make it personal. You actually show people how to make REAL food and how simple it can be. Because your spirit is to help people make their lives BETTER by making real food. It’s not about shaming anyone. The love is there. The world needs more such people. Tanto, tanto amore dal Massachusetts!
I wouldn’t hold it against her if she just insulted the Kraft Mac & Cheese, laughed, walked away and ended the video. 😛 It’s not food snobbery - it’s just having the most basic of standards and not wanting to eat powdered chalk-cheese.
Are we watching the same videos? “It’s so bad.” “This is the most disgusting thing I have ever had in my entire life.” What do you _think_ is an insult? With that said, totally understandable commentary over these abominations, and I’m American. 😂
"This box contains happy childhood memories"... Fortunately my childhood contains hundreds of hours of making gnocchi and ravioli from scratch with my Nonna and my great zie!
to be fair, you can't compare the refined palate of an italian cook vs the non-existant taste buds of a US citizen...most of them are raised on fast food and packaged pre-cooked stuff.
@@magnezon1 Speak for yourself! As for "raised on old-world" palate: A dear, late friend of mine--whom was very-much like Eva--was actually 'turned-on" to many American "junk food" items and came to enjoy them. in-fact: It was her that not only taught me how to season food by eye (A special skill in food preparation) but got me to appreciate good kosher [Vienna] beef franks over common "pork & chicken" hot dogs! }:(
Eva is like every Indian Mom who never appreciates processed food. She lets the kid have it, and later shows how same cuisine home cooked can be. She is so Homely India.
Homely has a huge respect in the eyes of kids whose moms have stressful career....we in india have to find a balance though... coz its walking the US path...
My grandmother was from Calabria and watching your videos makes me feel like I'm seeing her in her younger years as she first moved to America. She had the same exact accent. I love it! I'm also picking up all the recipes I missed out on not asking her to show me more.
I can't imagine the flavor shock Eva gets eating American "Italian" food. I'm used to all those mac and cheeses growing up, but after eating in Italy, I can see why she reacts the way she does. Their pasta and all their food doesn't make you feel disgusting after eating a bunch of food. It's all so fresh
Mac and Cheese was never meant to be thought of as Italian, I don't know where you got that. Mac and Cheese was invented by a British woman trying to introduce French technique to Britain. It didn't catch on immediately, but when Thomas Jefferson visited France, the French used her book to make things they thought he'd want to eat. He fell in love with Mac and Cheese and evangelized it from there. My point is, never in the history of this dish has anyone thought of it as Italian for even a split second, other than you. No, I'm not a troll, yes, I'm literally trying to be a dick because I hate that you had such an incorrect belief. I will continue to be a dick to you until the day I die. Screw off, dude!!! (Seriously, though, what about Mac and Cheese ever seemed Italian to you?)
@Michael Lyndon dude their comment didn't say anything about Mac and cheese. Just because it's on a video about Mac and cheese and you just assume that's what it's about. In reality they were talking about how bad she reacts to America's version of Italian and that they understand why she reacts this way to Mac and cheese. In no way did they say Mac and cheese is Italian.
@@cudabackag Quote: " I can't imagine the flavor shock Eva gets eating American "Italian" food." To me, the rest of the comment implies that the food in question was the mac and cheese and that he couldn't imagine her actual experience. That is what I'm referring to. Also, my comment was kind of meant to halfway be a joke, I'm not really angry, just find it funny to see someone describe it as Italian when I have never heard anyone describe it that way.

@@michaellyndon6982 ,You assume my comment was based solely on this one video. I've watched lots of their videos and my comment was based on her previous reactions as well as this one. I know mac and cheese is not Italian, never has been. But in this video she ate it and hated it. She also ate one that is a version of an Italian dish (Alfredo I think it was), but it's all pre packaged and boxed, something you don't see there. My comment was that we were raised on that stuff, and those pre packaged versions at some time or another, and as kids (most kids and still some adults) we liked it. Way to absolutely fly off the handle though. And thanks for the mac and cheese history lesson, ya weirdo
are you comparing restaurant food to some boxed processed shit? no one is expecting freshness from this they're just looking for speed and convenience. you can find better american food and im sure italy has its own garbage even if their food quality is better overall
@@noamto Asiago, mozzarella, parmigiano, emmentaler, fontina. You can use any cheese you want, as long as it melts and it's good quality. I think gorgonzola's flavour is too aggressive for mac and cheese
@@richlaue powdered cheese is just dried cheese. Parmigiano is like 80% of the way there lmao. Y’all are so far up your own asses it’s hard to see daylight.
The first time I visited Italy was with a tour group. At one place lunch was just plain pasta and olive oil and nothing else that I could see. But it was still better than any pasta I had, outside Italy. That was the last group tour. Now I travel independently to Italy and Google for markets and restaurants that no tourist go to. In fact in Rome, near the Vatican, one Italian lady who spoke English asked me how come I came to that market. I bought kilos of Salami and Sausages at much lower prices than the tourist areas and a hundred times better. So if you only visit the tourist areas, don't judge Italian food by going only there.
I have learned to do the same in any country I am in - the difference is amazing, in both price and quality. It does help to be at least survival level in the local language though and more than survival level is better.
@@Blusser77 they were very probably referring to the Trionfale neighborhood market, in Andrea Doria street, the biggest and richest in the area. The other possible one is the Prati local market in Cola di Rienzo street
I'm Italian and the first time I made Mac and Cheese I was in the US, I never had it before but I had an/my idea of how it should taste like so I just started cooking based on my "food experience". Once we ate them all the Americans in the room were very impressed and said they were one of the best Mac and Cheese dishes they ever had! That was because I used all fresh ingredient and not bags or powders or the microwave!
I've been to Vince, Florence, Tuscany, Rome, Sorrento and on average Italians are fit not really to many over weight. Even fewer seriously obese. Why smaller portion, better quality of food, they're more active and typically don't eat the process junk.
On my bucket list: Sicily is on there too. When I was in Rome we drove on the narrow windy coastal road around the toe of Italy before we made it to Sorrento. Could not believe how big some of the lemons I saw...Some were the size of grapefruit. Lots of places I would like to see though. Like the town were my great, great grandfather came from which is in the northeast portion of Hungary.
@@Eledaraumar in Naples maybe, or Italian Americans, but here in Europe people tend to be in better shape because the quality of the food is better, people walk to places and take buses or bikes even if they have cars and plenty of money. It's very different than the US, where everything is XL, the quality is considerably lower and they tend to eat more calories than they burn. PS: UK is also a very fat nation. I'm not counting them when I say "here in Europe" hahaha
My grandmothers and mother were excellent cooks however like many Italian Nonna's spent practically half of their lives in the kitchen frequently discussing what to cook next. Over the years they become experts in their own right. Even better many Nonno had his own field where he grew tomatoes, basil, garlic, onions and ingredients were organic and fresh. Today we don't even have the patience to sit down for a meal. Back then a basic tomato sauce would be left simmering from 7am to noon. A basic dough for pizza would have minimum yeast or use mother dough and take over a day to prepare. They had pride and the time.
I love this channel. I'm Italian-American and I learned how to cook from my grandmother. I strayed and got used to eating things like Mac n Cheese, etc. This channel is getting me back to my roots. A ton of the things that Eva does are exactly the way I was taught (some things are a little different though).
Right after I moved to LA from Italy in 91, I realized that I had no kitchenware in my newly rented place...only one huge microwave oven; I survived on Mac'n Cheese for the first month until I got my first paycheck and was able to buy proper pots and pans...hahahaha...to this day, if I smell cheddar cheese I puke...hahaha
Besides this show, which is AWESOME, these two could easily be an old time husband and wife comedy duo like Burns&Allen, Lucy&Desi, or Stiller&Meara. They play off each other so well and are each funny in their own way. And between her hair and skin and his eyes and teeth...ay mamma mia!
Thank you for being such a good sport Eva! Teach him the right foods to eat! My son and I have been enjoying your videos since I discovered your channel this morning!
You're better off eating REAL mac-n'-cheese, anyway. At least you get more nutritionally than with the boxed version, and it tastes better. If you don't want to add pounds, don't eat too much of it. Portion control.
Eva. You truly understands the importance of love and fresh ingredients in cooking. We as americans in general have forgoten what it meas to eat real food. I my self am a trained chef and have been eating healthy foods(not diet but real food)for years now. I make my own pasta at least three times a week also I am starting my own artisan pasta company to share my love of pasta with the world( any tips?). Thank you for sharing your love of food with us.
Hey, if you really want to be sadistic, make her consume a whole can of Chef Boyardee.😁 I am so extremely penitent.😭 We have ruined Italian pasta. It is now the cuisine equivalent of the Frankenstein monster.😆
Yeah here in America everything fresh is unaffordable . No one can afford to eat fresh food . Which is why we eat crap like this cause it’s all we can afford to eat.
I'm a chef now and have worked with chefs from Italy. I would agree with Eva about the mac n cheese. She is a wise women when it comes to Italian food.
Dang -- I like it when Eva lays the smack-down! Coz your recipes are easy and the reward for great tasting food is heaven. I use plant-based meats with your other recipes but I will enjoy all the cheesy and eggy things that go into a dish. Many thanks!
@Erik Cnating We're surely healthier than americans tho. Tax of obesity in Italy in less than 6%(39% oversize) while in America is over 27%(73% oversize).
@Erik Cnating man, no one brags, someone made a joke and you felt like you have an argument to refute it, well, italians are not just healthy and live much longer because of dietary habits, but also due to good universal healthcare they have here, which state provides and it is achievement
I took a snap shot of this recipe a while back, and made it yesterday. I used casarecce as it was the only pasta on the shelf that wasn't glowing yellow and had that white porcelain pastel look to it. I loved this! One thing I think you should get Eva to try is a legit southern style Mac N Cheese with a bread crumb topping that's been baked in the oven. I've made it quite a few times and I find using little shells and even orecchiette work amazing in a baked mac n cheese.
@@katiesnightlife7998 I agree. Macaroni and cheese in this country goes back at least as far as Thomas Jefferson, who went to great lengths to perfect his recipe. He even ordered a pasta making machine from Italy.
Bravissima Eva mamma mia, si vede che ha proprio la passione per la cucina non c'è un piatto che esagua in maniera sommaria tutte le ricette le esegue perfettamente con una tecnica da chef di alto livello, sei fortunato amico mio, in Italia donne così si sono estinte. Un bacione dall Abruzzo 😘❤️🇮🇹
I live in the UK and my wife is from Azerbaijan. She literally despairs of the fruit and vegetables here. She complains bitterly that everything tastes of plastic.
as an American I have to say giggling uncontrollably is the correct response from an adult who has never eaten kraft mac n cheese. at the same time there is a special place in my heart for it.
Your own mac and cheese was a beautiful dish as you plated it. Cooking from scratch does not take terribly long and it is just so very much better. I am so enjoying your channel.❤️❤️❤️❤️
Those facial expressions are insanely precious. And you, you're walking on real thin ice when you sample the meal before it's done. Old world teasing between couples. Sneaking a taste... getting smacked on the top of the head with a wooden spoon for your impudence. That's amore.
The pasta at the end looks great! Hope you do a follow up though and break out the American trump cards. Annie's mac & cheese, shells with cheddar, Stouffers frozen mac & cheese, Southern mac & cheese (with the breadcrumbs), lobster mac & cheese, mac & cheese burger, etc. Got to rep the country with the fanciest we got!
I had exactly the same reaction as Eva's, saying "Jesus!" multiple times!! my american friends made me try cheese macaroni, and of course it's a no-no! You two are a great couple, tho. I too want a foreign wife to share culture (mainly about food!). Harper, do you have any sister or cousin or friend interested in an italian husband who can cook??
I love your channel and your videos. My family is from Calabria, and Eva reminds me so much of them. She reminds me of how much care and pride they had for Italian food.
Americans: we stay away from carbs because it makes us fat The Rest of the world: we eat, rice, noodles, pasta, rotis, bread, yams, sweet potatoes, 3 meals a day and we ain't fat. Hmmmm..
in Croatia we eat so much bread, pasta,noodles,potatoes and all those stuff who makes you fat and especially meat, and we are still fit and healthy. its just because we prepare all fresh food and not instant-fast food
As another couple made up of an American guy married to a true Italian woman, my wife and I love you guys! We just discovered your channel and are hooked. I have all the same conversations with my Rossana and she has all the same opinions as Eva. She's from Bivio Ravi (Tuscany) and I'm from NYC. Ciao my friends!
I got Rossana to like mac and cheese by introducing her to my homemade baked mac & cheese. I make the cheese sauce myself with bechamel, onion, sharp cheddar, parmigiano reggiano, and a pinch of mustard powder & pepperoncini and I like to use shells for the pasta. I'm not a huge salt guy, so salt to taste. Top with more shredded cheddar and breadcrumbs and bake 375 until nice and crusty. Buon Appetito!
Eva knows that homemade is so much better than convenience foods, and I totally agree. Made from scratch is just as quick but so much better than boxed food.
Just discovered your videos and they are great fun. Eva's facial expressions are hilarious; she's a gem. My husband is Italian and we've been there 3 times. If we ever win the Lottery, that's where we plan to move (like in an instant). Ciao!!
I just tried the quattro formaggi pasta and it blew my mind. 🤯 I don't know what it is, maybe it is the sharpness of the blue cheese, the creaminess of the bri and the saltiness of the parmigiano, but the taste was just unbelievable and unique. Thank you for sharing this STUNNING recipe and God bless Italy 🇮🇹
I'm from South America and in my country is really difficult find Mc & Cheese so the first time I ate them I thought "Wow, this is the most delicious thing I ever had" xD something is definitely wrong with me
Eva and Harper I"m from The Netherlands , I love your Italian food, please more recipes, I myself am Moroccan and have lived in the Netherlands for 31 years, but I love foreign food, thanx
To her, this series is called "American man tortures Italian woman with food"
I think for her its called.... Why does my husband hate me? lol
Erik Skole I think it’s now remind me why I married you again?
its called "I married an American dude and now he's pimping me on YT" lol
Hahaha!
For a second, when he suggested that her own dish could use garlic, I thought it might turn into, "American man gets stabbed with a fork."
Just rename this channel, “I Annoy My Wife Until She Cooks for Me”. The dish Eva made looks divine 😭🤧
Thank you!

And she makes it look effortless.

Who would have thought that I would get so much joy out of an Italian individual being absolutely horrified by our pasta. Best thing ever!
Hey, if you really want to be sadistic, make her consume a whole can of Chef Boyardee.😁 I am so extremely penitent.😭 We have ruined Italian pasta. It is now the cuisine equivalent of the Frankenstein monster.😆
Brandon Johnson just wait ‘till she eats school food 🤢
It literally just tastes like salt and can 🤢
or Velvetta shells and cheese.
*Pretends not to like Chef Boyardee so y'all think I'm cool* Oh yeah, that stuff is just awful, definitely doesn't taste like my childhood....
@@AbbieH5 I still buy it and eat it. I never said I disliked it. I don't mind the spaghetti with meatballs. 😁
Every time I read the words “creamy” and “Alfredo” on a box of Italian food, especially when both words are close to one another, I get anxiety.
Who the fuck is Alfredo
@@alessandrobellia2106 I KNOW RIGHT?
Have no idea where that sauce came from . My grandparents tried it once and spit it out .
@@stanvanillo9831 never heard about it before
@@stanvanillo9831 The thing is I've never seen alfredo sauce in any restaurant in Rome.
I cracked up when she thought the cheese package was to absorb humidity (Desiccant). I totally get it. Im Italian and we never ate KD.
"It's like vomit". I just love her!
I wanted to see her spit it out.
This Chanel i one sentence:
In italy we don't...
È troppo divertente vedere il marito che tortura la moglie con il cibo......
Sti inglesi e americani che non capiscono un cazzo di cucina. Si magerebbero anche le pietre.
Povera Eva, lo deve amare veramente tanto😂😂
@@daniadalella9710 secondo me lui lo sa benissimo che la pasta fatta dagli americani fa schifo e lo sa da quando ha conosciuto la moglie 😉
@@lauraragazzi464 vabbè, l'hai visto che bono è? gli si perdona dei gusti di cacca a parer mio.
Da 1:04 è quello che succede quando stai morendo dentro, ma l'unica cosa che riesci a fare è ridere 😂
😂 this is exactly why people have weight issues, in Italy every thing is fresh...real foods 🇮🇹🇺🇸
Facts
Yeah here in America everything fresh is unaffordable . No one can afford to eat fresh food . Which is why we eat crap like this cause it’s all we can afford to eat.
@@breejames6323 I know it can be difficult to find fresh affordable foods but go to the local farms , look for sales.
It's a systemic problem, because the massive food companies / cartels have so much lobbying (bribery) power in government.
Most food in America is fresh too. You act like boxed mac and cheese is the only option. You can easily make it homemade and.....fresh. Obviously
Eva's pasta recipe looks absolutely delicious
🤩😋👌
Eva, your laugh was contagious. Thank you, I needed a good laugh to start my day.
Vi ho scoperto oggi...mi sono iscritta immediatamente...e nn riesco a smettere di guardare i vostri video!!🤣🤣🤣🤣 Amazing!!🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏👏❤
Grazie grazie grazie!
Uguale!!vi adoro!!!ma soprattutto non ho mai riso così tanto!!!🤣🤣🤣
Grazie!!
Anche io! :)
It would have been enough a "Burro e parmigiano" to win on Mac n cheese ahha, love you guys
Thank you!!!!
I'm a chef now and have worked with chefs from Italy. I would agree with Eva about the mac n cheese. She is a wise women when it comes to Italian food.
Dang -- I like it when Eva lays the smack-down! Coz your recipes are easy and the reward for great tasting food is heaven. I use plant-based meats with your other recipes but I will enjoy all the cheesy and eggy things that go into a dish. Many thanks!
Homemade! Eva's pasta dish looks positively delightful. Thanks so much for sharing!
Americans: "We don't eat pasta because it's fat"
Italians: "We eat pasta every day and we are the healthiest people in the world"
Italians eat olive oil, that´s why.
@Erik Cnating We're surely healthier than americans tho. Tax of obesity in Italy in less than 6%(39% oversize) while in America is over 27%(73% oversize).
@Erik Cnating hardly an achievement? so why you can't get to these numbers mate? XD
@Erik Cnating man, no one brags, someone made a joke and you felt like you have an argument to refute it, well, italians are not just healthy and live much longer because of dietary habits, but also due to good universal healthcare they have here, which state provides and it is achievement
Japanese are the healthiest actually
Non sono italiano, ma per fortuna la mia famiglia mi ha insegnato cos'è la cucina italiana.
"Is this for the humidity?" 🤣
😉
I just loved the scene in the beginning, where Eva just couldn't stop laughing. I think it will be time to prepare my pasta quattro formaggi soon...
I took a snap shot of this recipe a while back, and made it yesterday. I used casarecce as it was the only pasta on the shelf that wasn't glowing yellow and had that white porcelain pastel look to it. I loved this! One thing I think you should get Eva to try is a legit southern style Mac N Cheese with a bread crumb topping that's been baked in the oven. I've made it quite a few times and I find using little shells and even orecchiette work amazing in a baked mac n cheese.
I grew up in the US and used to eat Mac n cheese all the time... and loved it. Then I tried it as an adult living in Italy... never again!!!
Eva is like the Matrix's Oracle of the Food World.
Change my mind!
I think she is correct about boxed mac and cheese. It's garbage.
I feel so bad for her.the first Mac and cheese she tried is that nasty stuff
@@katiesnightlife7998 I agree. Macaroni and cheese in this country goes back at least as far as Thomas Jefferson, who went to great lengths to perfect his recipe. He even ordered a pasta making machine from Italy.
i always end up having to add stuff to the boxed mac n cheese to make it good
You're never wrong avoiding any processed food, especially packaged or boxed. Its even worse then garbage
@Long duk dong yes thank you from the box its decent but from the cup thing thats so bad
Eva's reaction completely cracked me up and she is right! Love you guys!
Thank you!
Bravissima Eva mamma mia, si vede che ha proprio la passione per la cucina non c'è un piatto che esagua in maniera sommaria tutte le ricette le esegue perfettamente con una tecnica da chef di alto livello, sei fortunato amico mio, in Italia donne così si sono estinte. Un bacione dall Abruzzo 😘❤️🇮🇹
I live in the UK and my wife is from Azerbaijan.
She literally despairs of the fruit and vegetables here.
She complains bitterly that everything tastes of plastic.
as an American I have to say giggling uncontrollably is the correct response from an adult who has never eaten kraft mac n cheese.
at the same time there is a special place in my heart for it.
I have never seen someone crack up laughing over mac and cheese lol
Your own mac and cheese was a beautiful dish as you plated it. Cooking from scratch does not take terribly long and it is just so very much better. I am so enjoying your channel.❤️❤️❤️❤️
Those facial expressions are insanely precious. And you, you're walking on real thin ice when you sample the meal before it's done.
Old world teasing between couples. Sneaking a taste... getting smacked on the top of the head with a wooden spoon for your impudence. That's amore.
“This means I have to try other Mac N Cheeses?”
“Yep”
*I’m literally in hell right now*
The pasta at the end looks great! Hope you do a follow up though and break out the American trump cards. Annie's mac & cheese, shells with cheddar, Stouffers frozen mac & cheese, Southern mac & cheese (with the breadcrumbs), lobster mac & cheese, mac & cheese burger, etc. Got to rep the country with the fanciest we got!
I had exactly the same reaction as Eva's, saying "Jesus!" multiple times!! my american friends made me try cheese macaroni, and of course it's a no-no! You two are a great couple, tho. I too want a foreign wife to share culture (mainly about food!). Harper, do you have any sister or cousin or friend interested in an italian husband who can cook??
I don’t have a sister but I may have an ex-wife if I keep feeding her mac & cheese 😂 She may not be foreign to you but she appreciates Italian cooks 😉
I'm married with an Irish, that's all your.
I love Italian food and cooking too. I can cook you great South Indian food😁
I love your channel and your videos. My family is from Calabria, and Eva reminds me so much of them. She reminds me of how much care and pride they had for Italian food.
She is just so lovely, bless her. Harper she's a keeper xx
se Harper vuole qualcosa di più colorato, fagli la carbonara! Grande Eva!
L' entusiasmo di Harper nel fargliela provare mi fa morire 😂😂
I’m sitting here laughing my butt off.. you are great... honestly. .. told my friends o watch you both
Americans: we stay away from carbs because it makes us fat
The Rest of the world: we eat, rice, noodles, pasta, rotis, bread, yams, sweet potatoes, 3 meals a day and we ain't fat. Hmmmm..
in Croatia we eat so much bread, pasta,noodles,potatoes and all those stuff who makes you fat and especially meat, and we are still fit and healthy. its just because we prepare all fresh food and not instant-fast food
Love that there's always a happy ending with happy music!
As another couple made up of an American guy married to a true Italian woman, my wife and I love you guys! We just discovered your channel and are hooked. I have all the same conversations with my Rossana and she has all the same opinions as Eva. She's from Bivio Ravi (Tuscany) and I'm from NYC. Ciao my friends!
I got Rossana to like mac and cheese by introducing her to my homemade baked mac & cheese. I make the cheese sauce myself with bechamel, onion, sharp cheddar, parmigiano reggiano, and a pinch of mustard powder & pepperoncini and I like to use shells for the pasta. I'm not a huge salt guy, so salt to taste. Top with more shredded cheddar and breadcrumbs and bake 375 until nice and crusty. Buon Appetito!
Irish here. Kraft Mac n cheese is possibly the worst thing I've eaten in America! Can't un taste! Haha
You made it wrong.
It doesn't taste any better in UK XX
Eva...sei una guerriera! Fieri di te!
If you haven’t already, enable the auto-generated captions. The captions when Ava’s ingredient list is fast forwarded around 6 minutes is hilarious! 😂
Eva knows that homemade is so much better than convenience foods, and I totally agree. Made from scratch is just as quick but so much better than boxed food.
Just discovered your videos and they are great fun. Eva's facial expressions are hilarious; she's a gem. My husband is Italian and we've been there 3 times. If we ever win the Lottery, that's where we plan to move (like in an instant). Ciao!!
Tears in my eyes from laughing. Eva is a riot.
I just love the Harper says "it's time for big guns". That's so funny
😂 I think she might have thought that I was referring to a real gun
@@PastaGrammar I can see terror on her face ahahahahahahahah
Your wife is hilarious🤣🤣🤣
Thank you!
And Harper is the perfect straight man.
This show should go on PBS, Eva teach americans how real food is easy and delicious! Siete troppo forti.
We get so programmed to make things out of a box when it could so easily be made fresh! Wow! After 68 years I’m still learning!!👍🏼👍🏼❤️
I just tried the quattro formaggi pasta and it blew my mind. 🤯 I don't know what it is, maybe it is the sharpness of the blue cheese, the creaminess of the bri and the saltiness of the parmigiano, but the taste was just unbelievable and unique. Thank you for sharing this STUNNING recipe and God bless Italy 🇮🇹
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Salviamo Eva 😂
Mandiamole I soccorsi 😂😂😂
The reaction of Eva is how an Italian would react to that thing that you call pasta. She can ask divorce in Italy!!!!
😂😂😂😂
Such good cooking!! I love your videos. So good to see how things are supposed to be cooked as opposed to the American, English & Australian versions.
Eva reading the ingredients priceless 😋 her Mac and cheese I can almost smell from here ... yum
I'm from South America and in my country is really difficult find Mc & Cheese so the first time I ate them I thought "Wow, this is the most delicious thing I ever had" xD something is definitely wrong with me
Don’t fret , every kid in the USA thought it was great when we all had it first time.
Him: is this ur first Alfredo sauce EVER?!😃. Her: yes.., And the last☺️
I wonder if she's ever eaten Instant Ramen.
Well granted that's an americanized Asian dish, not italian.
@@austinchandler3079 Fried ramen with bacon and cheese on it would be Americanized ramen.
@@austinchandler3079 Instant Ramen was invented in Asia.
Eva and Harper I"m from The Netherlands , I love your Italian food, please more recipes, I myself am Moroccan and have lived in the Netherlands for 31 years, but I love foreign food, thanx
Thank you!!!
Eva's pasta looks so good!!
