Don't hate me because I love raisins.

[brooksvenuti]

I came for the drizzle-drazzle. Stayed for the snizzle-snazzle.

[alexanderalfaro]

The way Carla grabbed items from the pantry and fridge and described her swiss chard stems as languishing had a kind of amazing Nigella Lawson energy to it

[wendallyn]

Spice tour! Fridge tour! Yay for pantry pasta!

[watchasayday]

"Whatever the f*ck I just made over here, " My god I've never felt something so deeply in my soul. Carla Lalli Music, you are officially my Saint of Cooking. Praised be your kitchen wisdom 🙌 😂

[movingforwarddespiteeverything]

YUM!!!

Definitely want a spice cabinet tour!

[Sarahelizabeth]

“A thousand people just unsubscribed” 😂

Despite my hate for golden raisins, I will never unsubscribe lol! Love all of your recipes so much:)

[cassvanessa]

Love it ! This made me realize how traditional I am when it comes to pasta and how creative we can actually get. I have some old cauliflower, capers, lardons, sorrel leaves, pecorino, and some dried apricots maybe?? Top it with some hot chilies and a “ drizzle drazzle “ of lemon for sure!

[kaetmcgee]

I save these vids for after work so I can watch them with my partner. We literally had no clue what’s for dinner, made our rendition of this, followed our hearts, and it was great! 😊

[daltonmenger]

Yes we absolutely want to see the spice cabinet.. and refrigerator!

[pugglelover]

I love the picture of Carla sitting on the floor going off about peanut butter 😭😭

[juliatove]

Raisins & pasta make me feel nostalgic. My aunt used to make Nigella’s Venetian ghetto pasta - tagliatelle, roast chicken, rosemary, pine nuts aaand 🥁 raisins! Anyone hating on raisins in pasta hasn’t eaten that heavenly dish 🤤

[rikkimontero]

Wit, humor and yumminess is ALWAYS delivered with such panache! Thanks for the chuckles and smiles. We need more people like you Carla

[ManganielloMusic]

I would love more information on your pepper mill, and a tour of your spice cabinet!

[caroline]

I love this format of looking in the pantry/fridge for inspiration and making a meal!

[benjaminlundqvist]

Lovely, delightful video (as always).. and we def all need a tour of that spice cabinet 🙏🥳

[tpn]

you make me feel validated with my obsession with downsizing and labeling😂

[roxanneturpin]

Some of my best recipes were born out of desperation...and this reminds me of that. I love this kind of cooking! Create!

[papayagaaa]

secret 🤫 raisins!” ☺️ is such a good quote lol

[mrdompaul]

I heart this episode, and it inspired me to rummage through my cupboard and fridge to make desperation pasta. I took an instant noodle bowl (not using the flavor packet or the bits that were already in it, obvi), a lil bit of balsamic reduction, truffle olive oil, truffle salt, black pepper, crushed red pepper, and grated parm. It. Was. SO. G O O D . So thank you ☺️
