Hands down one of my absolute favourite cooking channels, the family bonds, peaceful vibes, the open transparency, easy and simple recipes, I'm here for all of it.

This one looked like an absolute homerun, as usual! Keep it up you guys. Love the work!

This was a rare 10 and I agree. There is nothing more comforting than this dish and I really do prefer this red sauce version over the white though they are both great. As always the print recipe and ingredients are in the description. Thanks again for watching and liking our videos. IMPORTANT: I will never message you here or on Telegram and other services saying something along the lines of "You won, text me at 3432322323 or whatever". There are a ton of scammers impersonating and making these comments for my channel and many others. Please don't fall for the scam. We do our best to delete and report them, but they make many profiles and it is hard to keep up. Again, I will never communicate with you in that way.

Recipe looks yummy… can’t wait to make it! But can we all take a minute to give James a 10 for the best taste tester! The way he articulates is top notch! Such a great personality and so sweet… good job mom and dad ❤️

[drewbiedoobie]

my mom used to make peas and pasta just like this when i was a little kid. i hated it cuz it was so difficult to pick out the peas and eat only the pasta. Now, if I see peas and pasta on a menu, you better know I'm ordering it!

[frankzito]

My father (RIP) used to make this on Friday evenings. He and I would eat the entire batch. I've never made it myself, but I think it's time to pay tribute to dad with this recipe!

[carramaus]

You are CLEARLY so proud of James, and you SHOULD be! He’s smart, honest, fair, and loving. You guys have done a great job raising him ❤

[Glaasse]

Definitely going to be trying this tonight.

A little trick that I do when i open those cans of tomato paste is I open both sides of it. It never leaks because it's so thick and allows you to use the bottom to push all the paste through instead of needing to use a spoon.

I absolutely love how his son describes why he loves this dish….spot on explanation - smart, articulate and insightful young boy.

James, I've been watching you for some years now and I am so amazed and happy for your channel to have grown as it has. You deserve it! It's not just the food.... You and your family have a wholesome and natural vibe.

[lindalyons]

I am in love with this channel and the whole family. I just found it recently. He is amazing and his recipes are always simple and delicious.

Yes, this dish was a 10. As a fellow Italin American living in Florida and formerly from LI NY. This dish turned out great ! I just made one change. I used 1 cup of low sodium Chicken Stock and 3 cups of water. This one goes into my cookbook bible.

[joyweidental]

Thank you very much! As a vegetarian and pea lover it really makes me happy!James just made it perfectly clear, why it’s so wonderful!! I’m cherishing your recipes and I love your family❤ greetings from Vienna/Austria

I’ve made this 3 times, not just for myself but for a neighbor and friend and I got RAVE RAVE RAVE reviews. So easy yet so Thank you 🙏

[alicehagan]

I absolutely love pasta piselli!! And I agree the red version is the best. Oh, those onions and peas together are magic! Thanks for sharing Jim.

[spiderbouquet]

How is this SO GOOD?! I’ve made it a few times now and every time it’s delicious, and it’s so easy and has minimal ingredients. It’s magic I swear.

[rosecityremodel]

I’m laughing right now because I completely agree with you about the 1 tablespoons of tomato paste! 😂. I’ve always at least tripled those portions. I think my family would love this recipe!

[Iowaclass]

I made this yesterday. It was the first pasta I have allowed myself in 2 years of keto living. Boy was it worth waiting for. Creamy, almost like risotto, I also added a few leftover San Marzano tomatoes and some Passata to the broth. It took a lot longer to cook with the DiCicco pasta, but again, no problem! The results were amazing! Especially with a generous amount of black pepper and Pecorino. Frying the paste is a game changer. Thanks so much for this wonderful recipe!

[andromedamedia]

This man is a cherish in the online culinary community. Most importantly, he is an amazing example of a successful father who involves his son in his success. He needs his own TV show!

[marijodennison]

Gosh. Haven’t had this since I was a kid. I’d forgotten about it. So delicious. I’m going to make it this week for friends. I love all your recipes. Made lots of them and always a hit. Love your podcast. Nice family. Thanks. We need all the good vibes in this 2024 season.

[nickicapo]

Oh my goodness. My Italian family always made this dish. My husband and I made this following your advice and just wow! Delicious! Thank you and blessings to you and your family.
