Chef John, you always come through with the best Italian comfort food recipes. My grandma was Italian, and by my recollection a great cook. She passed away before I took an interest in learning how to cook myself. I wish she could have taught me, but your videos are the next best thing.
My mom always used to say to me: Pasta, Pasta, Pasta Fazool, I'm an Italian, woo, woo, woo. Hear us laugh, hear us snort, we're so happy that we're short. Always wanted to make it! Thank's for bringing that pleasant memory to the surface! :)
I must say I always find the evolution of American/Italian cuisine fascinating. The amount of new and (certainly, even if I almost never have the chance to taste them) tasty little modifications and developments italian recipes went through in 3-4 generations in the US is amazing. I like my Italian cuisine, but it's certainly worth exploring the - different - American/Italian version.
I'm watching this while eating chicken flavored Rice-a-Roni.... I've never been more sad that I waited and made a late, last second dinner. At least I have more Rice-a-Roni to cheer me up. It also eases the hunger that this video has induced.
Elbow macaroni! One of the two kinds of pasta I knew existed when I was a kid. (The other, of course, being spaghetti.) I will make this. It looks amazeballs.
Remember "That's Amore" by Dean Martin? For years I had no clue about what pasta fazool might be. Then, along came the internet -- almost instant knowledge! Great recipe, Chef. Thanks.
I made this today for me and my roommate and we were amazed at how delicious it was! Doubled the recipe, used chicken sausage and kale (first time I've every enjoyed eating kale!), and we cannot wait to eat the left overs tomorrow!
This is a versatile recipe. I like this version, too. I've used canned diced tomatoes and less chicken broth, and spinach. My pasta was fresh tortellini (from trader Joe's) . Very good comfort food!
your one of the reason why I love cooking you have over 200 cooking RUclips posts and there all informative to me . definitely one of my favorite chefs who's humble about his art
Looks fantastic! I will need to try this recipe. I like how you added the uncooked pasta for a few min before adding the broth. Reminds me of Fideo noodles. My mother taught me to cook them dry for a few minutes with the oil and onion before adding water and tomato sauce. It always comes out great. It must be in the technique. Great video, as always.
Watched the video this morning. Made it this afternoon and eating it now! Fantastic! My late Italian mother-in-law made PF and it was really good. I now have an equally delicious recipe which will be served often in my house. Thanks again Chef John. Food Wishes has a place in my heart just like the Galloping Gourmet did when I was five. And now, time for another bowl!
I really enjoy your videos! You make laugh so hard! :D I'm italian, and I can definitively say: man, this looks good. And I have some very secret-secret to share -if you want- from my mom's kitchen to yours: we also use pancetta (kinda like bacon but thicker, similar to french lardons) instead of sausage and, this in the major treat, try to throw in a parmesan rind after adding the broth. It gives the most amazing saltiness, richness and a subtle creaminess that it's the Thing. Not to mention the slightly melted rind to chew at the end...and, last but not least: don't throw those chard stalk away! Chop them with the vegetables for the soffritto! But I know it spoils all the suspance that way...! ;D Big hug Chef!
Chef J., Dang that looks so good and easy too. Liked how you incorporated the elbows early in the game. This recipe will be perfect for a cold Friday/Saturday night - movie, vino...etc. will make extra and freeze to have a surplus.....thanks for sharing, can't wait to try!!
I like that to add to the "this soup is for one of 'those days' " affect you also left a thumbprint on the side of the bowl as well as Parmesan dusting. Well played chef John. Well played...
You won me over with the 10 minute cooking time.. I used to love cooking but I find it too much to do most of this time. This seems more than manageable, thanks chef John!
Ok, I am stealing "optional but mandatory" and adding it to my usual "take your time but hurry up". Along with "just like Italian grandma but without the perfume". Thanks Chef!
Looks good! Thank you for the recipe! I make something similar with ground beef, pinto beans and chicken/tomato Knorr. My kiddos eat it up! It's great for a quick mid-week dinner...
lovely recipe. Love from New Zealand. I personally prefer to use the whole leaf of Silverbeet (swiss chard), not just the green, and rinse it and then chop it. ; ) Arohanui
Hi Chef John, I wanted to request a video from you on a recipe for Chicken Pot Pie. Long time fan here, love your videos. Thanks for providing awesome recipes that me and my family enjoy on a daily basis.
I know what I am making for Sunday dinner this weekend. Looks fantastic, Thanks Chef John. First recipe I ever made of yours was "not so sloppy, sloppy joes" years ago lol. I have lost track of how many I have made now.
Been watching your videos for over 4 years and you've inspired me to pursue cooking as a professional career. But like, how many times are you gonna say "Like I said" in one video? I think the count is getting higher and higher with each video
7:05 -- "is this one of those recipes where we can get away with the fake stuff?" Chef John, if there's anything I learned from your videos, it's that there's no case ever when you can get away with the fake grated Parmesan.
Another great recipe Chef! One small correction though. The pronunciation "pasta fazool" is not actually a mispronunciation, it is derived from the Neapolitan (Naples) pronunciation "pasta e fasule". Both ways are correct.
Made this tonight and it was legit!! Next time I'll probably go with a mix of sausage and 90/10.....Liked that it was a little soupy but still hearty! Also - if you make more than enough for seconds - stop the cook time at al dente so they keep their form!
How interesting! My family has been making something like this except we call it "Sopas" and we use ground beef instead. Either way I can vouch for how yummy this may be with Italian sausage instead.
HI chef John! I have been loving (and using) your videos lately. I'd love to hear what kind of kitchen hardware you use (pots, pans, etc.) It would help me in appropriately equipping my kitchen!
Was driving to the grocery store when I watched this. Turned out great, just don't be lazy and buy the pre-chopped greens... Was a PITA to remove the stems, I ended up leaving some. Still tasty, thanks
G'day McShine, and all those who use pre-grated parmesan cheese from the supermarket. Kraft brand and 90% of all other brands like this contain formaldehyde as a preservative. So, if you like embalming fluid with your pasta dishes go right ahead... it may keep you alive longer so you can screw up more good Italian recipes. Kind regards. BH

Would fava beans work? I'm having a friend for dinner.

Jerry Boynton III lol, I love rice-a-roni! 😂
i like the fried rice flavor
oohhhhhhh shiiiiiiiiiiittt. waddup!
Chef John's video have put me in that position many times. Often it inspires me to make one of his recipes the next day. :)
"This is like getting a big warm hug from an Italian grandma without all the perfume" 😂😂😂😂😂
LOL
+Joey you gotta try harder man.
+Joey Cronos what's your point exactly?
this is NOT Italian!!!! NOT Italian in any way shape or form!!!!
Joey Cronos Thirsty pervert lmao
When the stars make you drool, just like Pasta Fazool......That's Amore!
"Enthusiastically simmering" is one of the best ways I've ever heard to describe a fast simmer...love the way Chef explains things 😊👍
Elbow macaroni! One of the two kinds of pasta I knew existed when I was a kid. (The other, of course, being spaghetti.) I will make this. It looks amazeballs.

Great recipe, Chef. Thanks.
I love hearing how nostalgic this dish makes you. I bet your grandma was awesome, Chef John.
I made this today for me and my roommate and we were amazed at how delicious it was! Doubled the recipe, used chicken sausage and kale (first time I've every enjoyed eating kale!), and we cannot wait to eat the left overs tomorrow!
I love your optional mandatory steps, chef John.
my mom has been getting confused as to how im making such good meals i hope she doesnt ever find out my secret
Thank you for saying it the right way :)
I grew up eating this.
This video made me happy.
This is a versatile recipe. I like this version, too. I've used canned diced tomatoes and less chicken broth, and spinach. My pasta was fresh tortellini (from trader Joe's) . Very good comfort food!

Chef John, my favourite digital chef.

John..."5 minutes to defuse the bomb or else the whole world explodes" NEVER A MORE ACCURATE STATEMENT I HAVE EVER HEARD!! 10+ : (
"As well as the optional but mandatory crusty bread" a classic Chef John line. Delicious. TFS!!
When you realize everything Chef John makes is perfect for the season, time, and weather...
100% cool, great energy and good stuff! Thanks Food Wishes!
CHEF JOHN BACK AT IT AGAIN WITH THA VIDEOS. YOU MAKE MY DAY MAN
Italian food and recipes really are the best.
Great job. Made this and it was incredible. Thanks for all you do.
This guy is sorta like the food version of Bob Ross!

I just have to say ( WHAT A GREAT SHOW " , thank you very much .
My favorite fall/winter dish. So easy and delicious!
You are the greatest!
I feel so comforted just listening to your voice over
"As well as the OPTIONAL, but MANDATORY crusty Italian bread" lmfao I love this man 😂
I really enjoy your videos! You make laugh so hard! :D I'm italian, and I can definitively say: man, this looks good.

Oh damn, this looks amaze.
That looks delicious and simple! I am most certainly going to try it out when it gets colder over here.
You won me over with the 10 minute cooking time.. I used to love cooking but I find it too much to do most of this time. This seems more than manageable, thanks chef John!
chef john i love your videos!!!
Make sure you aren't the fool of your sausage pasta fazool
Ok, I am stealing "optional but mandatory" and adding it to my usual "take your time but hurry up". Along with "just like Italian grandma but without the perfume". Thanks Chef!
Whoa! 👁gor!
Chef that looks fantastic!
Wow! That was easy! Third generation Italian-American here. I've always wanted to know how to make this. Thank you!!!!
I'll be printing this one as soon as you get it up on the blog. Looks like another one i just absolutely must do!
this looks soooooo good, chef John, you should have your own TV show
I love this soup! Perfect for fall.🍁🍂
Looks good! Thank you for the recipe! I make something similar with ground beef, pinto beans and chicken/tomato Knorr. My kiddos eat it up! It's great for a quick mid-week dinner...
Chef... that looks Awesome... I love the macaroni !! :)
This looks really good! And I already have all these ingredients at home!
lovely recipe. Love from New Zealand. I personally prefer to use the whole leaf of Silverbeet (swiss chard), not just the green, and rinse it and then chop it. ; ) Arohanui
A winter warmer, thank you for the hearty dish!!
that outro gave me a warm, fuzzy feeling. thanks!
Hi Chef John, I wanted to request a video from you on a recipe for Chicken Pot Pie. Long time fan here, love your videos. Thanks for providing awesome recipes that me and my family enjoy on a daily basis.
This looks so good, I had to watch it again. Have to try it...today!
This looks AMAZING! Thanks Chef John!
I know what I am making for Sunday dinner this weekend. Looks fantastic, Thanks Chef John. First recipe I ever made of yours was "not so sloppy, sloppy joes" years ago lol. I have lost track of how many I have made now.
Mama Mia That looks delizioso!
Hi, I'm so excited for this vid. I'm like a kid on Christmas morning!!
Very similar to my grandmother's recipe, though she would throwin a rind of parmesan! Enjoy!
1 pot/pan cooking, Awesome!
man oh man! that looks so yummy and comforting!🍝
Been watching your videos for over 4 years and you've inspired me to pursue cooking as a professional career. But like, how many times are you gonna say "Like I said" in one video? I think the count is getting higher and higher with each video
Maybe you can keep track of the count for a few months in a spread sheet, and then we'll analyze the data with a bar graph or something.
lol
Over a glass of red wine.
John Shin xD
You are the Stevie Nicks of your verbal tics
7:05 -- "is this one of those recipes where we can get away with the fake stuff?"
Chef John, if there's anything I learned from your videos, it's that there's no case ever when you can get away with the fake grated Parmesan.
they can take my green cardboard and plastic can when they pry it from my cold dead fingers
woah, this looks fantastic! another great recipe!
This is my favorite soup to make and I make it several times a year, thanks for a different version for me to try.
you are awesome chef!! Nice presentation aswell. good job!
Woot i can do this! looks yummy
"There is no Chef John, only FaZuuul"
Just made this for the family!! Really good!!
Another great recipe Chef! One small correction though. The pronunciation "pasta fazool" is not actually a mispronunciation, it is derived from the Neapolitan (Naples) pronunciation "pasta e fasule". Both ways are correct.
I made this last night after work, it was so good
You just pulled 6 winning numbers outta the lottery bowl with this one. Thumbs up
Made this tonight and it was legit!! Next time I'll probably go with a mix of sausage and 90/10.....Liked that it was a little soupy but still hearty! Also - if you make more than enough for seconds - stop the cook time at al dente so they keep their form!
I loved the Vida Blue reference. The next challenge is to find a rhyme for Bert Campaneris.
yum!, I shall try this recipe out soon. thanks chef john you're awesome.
Chef John! I love you!
Ugh this looks sooooo good! Thanks, Chef John!
How interesting! My family has been making something like this except we call it "Sopas" and we use ground beef instead. Either way I can vouch for how yummy this may be with Italian sausage instead.
Perfetto!! 😄 I need to make this bowl of awesomeness 😎
My dad used to make this all the time when we were kids.
Looks delicious!!! I'm excited about the coming soup weather! :)
HI chef John! I have been loving (and using) your videos lately. I'd love to hear what kind of kitchen hardware you use (pots, pans, etc.) It would help me in appropriately equipping my kitchen!
thanks Chef John I love soaps this one is amazing I can't wait to make it
hahahahaaaaaa right😂😂😂 I got over excited
soup scented soap? YOU MAD GENIUS!
Was driving to the grocery store when I watched this. Turned out great, just don't be lazy and buy the pre-chopped greens... Was a PITA to remove the stems, I ended up leaving some. Still tasty, thanks
This looks great.
You are the Vida Blue of your Pasta Fazool.
You are officially insane.
Love your vids man. Sorry (not really) that my Cubs beat the Giants.
Here in Finland it's becoming quite cold, I definitely want to make this!
That's some AWSOME Hamburger helper thx!
My thoughts exactly lol
if it was hamburger helper the recipe would call for a cup of salt
I though you said Harambe helper
awesome job chef john!
This looks amazing
Looks good, Chef John!
I love this guy
Super recette I could eat that everyday
Best food videos on youtube and you are funny too
That looks super tasty!
That moment when you dipped the crusty bread into the flavorful broth... it took my breath away :-)
I really want to know what, according to chef john, "those recipes where you can get away with using fake parmesan" would be.
There are none! :P
The answer is none of them, (un)fortunately.
McShine: Oven-Crisped Wastebasket Liner? Kitty Litter 'Parmagiana'?
Brick mortar and home made facial exfoliating scrubs.
G'day McShine, and all those who use pre-grated parmesan cheese from the supermarket. Kraft brand and 90% of all other brands like this contain formaldehyde as a preservative. So, if you like embalming fluid with your pasta dishes go right ahead... it may keep you alive longer so you can screw up more good Italian recipes. Kind regards. BH
This looks delicious! Going to try this over the weekend. Can I substitute the Swiss chard for fresh spinach?
