We hope you guys have a great (and yummy) week! What are some of YOUR go-to recipes for a busy weeknight?

[lemondrizzlecake]

I had to pause because !!! Mamma Rosa's rice invention is literally THE ONLY dish my nonno knew how to cook, bless him. Only variation is he added zucchini too. On the handful of times through their 60+ year marriage that my nonna was not around to cook for him, this is what he'd cook himself. Otherwise his culinary skills were capped at preparing a fruit salad for the both of them every morning, and manning the espresso machine after lunch. This brought me so much nostalgia!

A good frittata is always my go to in case i don't have time to cook something more elaborate, and it is also a good "empty fridge" recipe.

[bugbean]

I made the beans and greens today with spinach. good. This is going to be one of my new comfort foods for sure. I'm now looking forward to my bean cooking day even more, thank you so much for this recipe! I'm living close to the Italian border and Eva has made me love Italian food even more.

[maya-gur]

Exactly the comforting video I needed as I lay in bed sick today. Thank you Harper and Eva!

[valeriem]

Puttanesca has definitely become an easy weeknight staple. So fast and so delicious! I’m glad I gave it a chance because of your channel, it’s become one of my favs!😊

[adamfreeman]

Love how you pull out the dinosaur drumstick out of the fridge right at the end

It occurred to me this week that this channel is unlike any other YouTube channel, and in fact is like “old” (1990s?) television: it comes out on a certain day, at a certain time, and I look forward to it. It’s has become a scheduled “go to” event in my week. Thanks so much to both of you. (And this week we got FIVE recipes!!!)

My hubby and his family is Italian. I really enjoyed this and will use it! 🇮🇹

[anthonyzweb]

So true, the dreaming of spaghetti, I do that when I have not had any Italian food for a long time.

[Sarah-zgqs]

The Stuffed Eggplant would also be good dipped in pizza sauce, or a good tomato sauce. Love the beans and greens but I would add pork belly to mine

[guypehaim]

My favorite is collard greens because they tend to be a little sweet, I trim the leaves off the center rib of the leaf so the cooking time can be reduced a little.

You are such an amazing Chef Eva, simple recipes and common sense techniques make all the difference in the world.

I also use escarole sometimes. I also make a sort of soup out of it by cooking it at the end in chicken broth.

[pliny]

In northwestern Italy or at least our part of northwestern Italy we make rice with butter and parmigiano in this way, or butter, parmigiano and beaten egg a lot, especially for children when they come home from school on a damp and chilly day. We also make a soup of it by putting the cooked rice in hot milk with a pat or two of butter. I also liked mine with a bit of sugar added as well. :)

[BUNNYSVINTAGE]

Haha the giant leg of prosciutto slammed on the table at the end! 🤌 Love your channel 🖤

[marincify]

I tried the bean recipe!!! Wow!! So much flavor in something So simple!!

[cherrysmith]

This is a great episode. Thank y’all so much.

[daniellereid]

Eva, I always learn so much from you. Thank you ❤

[elizabethmirarchi]

Great recipes that we will have to try to incorporate into our routine!! Love seeing Lidia's face every time Eva pulls out the breadcrumbs. And the entire leg of prosciutto 🤣
