We've shown Eva making a ton of handmade pasta over the years: everything from the simplest tagliatelle to mind-blowing Sardinian culurgiones. I think it's safe to say that she knows how to make fresh pasta.
However, there's ONE type of handmade pasta that's so difficult, she's never been able to successfully make it despite trying many times. The secret behind it lies in an isolated and mysterious Italian community, so we headed there to see what we could find.
And boy, we found a LOT more than we bargained for... Hope you guys enjoy our wild pasta adventure!

Italian Dessert Recipes Made WITHOUT Sugar | No Sugar, No Problem!
Thank you to Catalina Crunch for sponsoring this video! Visit http://catalinacrunch.com/PASTAGRAMMAR and use promo code PASTAGRAMMAR for 15% off and free shipping!
We don't know about any of you, but Eva and I sure ate a lot of sugar over the holidays. There was panettone, cassata, pandoro, cantucci... and that's just the beginning! Maybe, like us, you still have a sweet tooth but are looking for ways to satisfy it without turning to refined sugar.
A lot of traditional, Italian sweets were invented when sugar was a rare luxury. Home cooks had to get creative when sweetening their desserts, and today Eva's going to show us some of these alternatives with some treats made with NO sugar!

I Just Found Out I'M ITALIAN
#christmas #naples #napoli
PASTA GRAMMAR NEWS ALERT! My mom just dropped a bomb on me: a side of the family we knew very little about is actually Italian. She tracked down the info of my ancestor who emigrated from Naples, which is where Eva and I happen to be heading. Time to find my roots!
The only problem is that we need to finish our Christmas shopping first, and Naples during the holidays can be... a little intense.
🎄 Buon Natale, guys! 🎄

ROMAN Pizza (...and the myth of "Italian" pizza)
Thank you to Squarespace for sponsoring today's video! Visit https://www.squarespace.com/pastagrammar to get 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain.
A classic tourist mistake that I always used to make was assuming that ALL Italian food can be found ANYWHERE in Italy. On my first trip to Rome, I ordered a pizza and was pretty disappointed with what I got.
While Rome is the wrong place to expect Neapolitan pizza, it doesn't mean that a visitor needs to be disappointed because the Eternal City has a host of their own, amazing pizza variations... and Eva's on a mission to show me all of them!

How Italy Helped Me Rediscover a Christmas Classic: CHESTNUTS
If you're an American, like me, you probably don't eat chestnuts despite singing about them every Christmas. Chestnuts are practically a lost food in America but they remain extremely popular in Italy. Today, Eva is giving me my first taste of chestnuts with some Italian chestnut recipes!

The Simplest Pasta Recipe: AGLIO OLIO E PEPERONCINO (...but with some twists)
Thank you to Squarespace for sponsoring today's video! Head to https://www.squarespace.com/pastagrammar to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain!
One of the dishes that Eva gets requests for the most is "Aglio, Olio e Peperoncino." It's one of the simplest pasta dishes there is... but that's sort of the problem. Eva has never really felt like she has much to add to this popular recipe so she has purposefully avoided making it on the channel.
That is, until I helped her realize that she maybe has a few tricks up her sleeve that haven't been done to death before... We hope you enjoy a few "twists" that you probably have never encountered, even if you're an aglio, olio e peperoncino fanatic.

10 "Italian" Dishes that Aren't Actually Italian... OR ARE THEY?

Like me, you might have run into some lists of "Italian" food that isn't ACTUALLY Italian. After finding a particularly incorrect entry, I began to wonder how accurate these sources were. So I asked Eva to explain, and it turns out there's quite a bit that needs clearing up!
In this video, Eva picks 10 "Italian" dishes and challenges me to guess if they're the real deal or not. Spoiler alert: I gave a lot of wrong answers... Play along and see if you fare better than I!

How Italians Cook CHICKEN (and why they don't eat it more often)
Thank you to Squarespace for sponsoring today's video! Head to https://www.squarespace.com/pastagrammar to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain!
Compared to the American diet I'm used to, Italians don't seem to eat a lot of chicken. In fact, many Italians (Eva included) will quip that chicken "is for sick people." This always gave me the impression that Italians just don't really like poultry.
Turns out, my interpretation of these observations were completely wrong, perhaps even backwards. Today, Eva is going to share some interesting ways Italians DO cook chicken, and explain why it's not quite a daily staple in Italian cuisine.

The Basics of Italian POLENTA | Polenta 101
Thanks to Thrive Market for sponsoring today's video! Go to https://www.thrivemarket.com/PastaGrammar to get 30% off your first order and a free gift worth up to $50!
Polenta can be confusing, at least to me! Just figuring out what to buy can be a minefield of potential pitfalls. Will instant polenta work? Is cornmeal the same thing as polenta? Fine or coarse? What about grits? Don't even get me started on the best way to cook it...
In this video, Eva explains what polenta is (it's not what I thought), which kinds to buy (and which to avoid), how to properly cook it, and give some "advanced" recipes from all over Italy. Welcome to Polenta 101!

Pasta Recipes That Are BETTER LEFTOVER
#pasta #recipe #leftover
Usually, when it comes to pasta the rule is that you eat it hot and fresh, the moment it's first cooked. There are, however, a few pasta dishes that some people consider to be exceptions: recipes that might be BETTER when served reheated the next day.
Today, I'm summoning all my willpower (ok, Eva had to literally lock up the fridge) in order to avoid eating some of my favorite recipes immediately, and to test which of them actually taste better the next day.

How Italians Use POTATOES (other than gnocchi)
#potato #italianfood #recipe
I don't know about you, but when I think about Italian potato recipes, my mind immediately turns to gnocchi. Even though gnocchi are sort of a specialty for Eva, she's putting them aside today to show a whole bunch of unexpected ways Italians cook potatoes.

The BEST TOMATO SAUCE RECIPE We've Ever Made... But Is It Worth It?
Thanks to Ghia for sponsoring this video! Head to drinkghia.com/PASTAGRAMMAR and use promo code PASTAGRAMMAR at checkout to get 20% off your first purchase
There's a reason Eva uses canned whole peeled tomatoes in so many of our recipes: dollar for dollar, a canned tomato is (sadly) better quality than the fresh tomatoes most grocery stores offer. But what if there's a third option?
Today, we're investigating a new (for us) method of making tomato sauce using cherry tomatoes. How good will the sauce be and is it even worth the trouble and money? The results certainly surprised us and they might surprise you, too!

Italians tend to talk with their hands a lot, but their gestures are a little bit more meaningful than simple emphasis. There's a whole, coded language in those hand signs!
Today, Eva is challenging me to guess what a few of them mean, before explaining the truth so that you all can "speak" Italian gestures for yourselves. Let us know which of these Italian gestures you were able to translate without Eva's help!

GELATO Recipes | How to Make (and EAT!) Italian Gelato at Home
#gelato #recipe #italianfood
If you've ever been to an Italian gelateria (especially in the south), you know that the experience is a little bit more than simply grabbing an ice cream cone. They craft all kinds of incredible desserts using gelato! Decadent ice cream sandwiches, "truffles" of stuffed ice cream, and Italian ice cream cakes are just a few examples.
Today, Eva shares how to make gelato at home plus a handful of our favorite gelato-based desserts. I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! Oh, and that reminds us: we've brought on a special guest to explain the technical difference between gelato and ice cream 👨🏻🍳
