Pasta All'amatricana | Gennaro Contaldo | Italian Special

Pasta All'amatricana is a very classic Italian pasta dish that goes back years and years. It's one of those pasta dishes, much like carbonara, that is so beautifully simple, but delivers no matter what mood you’re in, or what time of year it is. This is an absolute must have in the repertoire - give it a go, you won't look back!

Gennaro in Italy
Gennaro doing what the Italians do best – sourcing good ingredients and making simple, bold dishes with little effort and time involved.

Rather than cut these videos right down, we have left them a little longer and kept them relaxed. We think watching Gennaro in Italy is a glorious thing, and Gennaro does such a great job at being both inspiring and entertaining. So sit back and enjoy these as they roll out – we would love to know what you think.

I love how he plates up the dish nicely and then just eats from the pan.

"It's cold, but who cares?The food is good!"

That almost made me cry.

[antrenn]

He's really incredible. You see the passion in his eyes, in how he speaks, in just everything he does while cooking. You really are one of the reasons why I love cooking. You never fail to show me how great doing this is! Thank you so much Gennaro!!

Gennaro, what is the meaning of life?
Gennaro: hmmm just a little bit of pasta water...

Gennaro making pasta is the best kind of thing on YouTube

When Gennaro commands the wind to stop, the wind listens.

[conorhughes]

Gennaro sounds like he learned English from flirting with London girls

Gennaro is the Italian grandpa that everybody wishes they had.

"You MUST grate pecorino!

If you don't have it, parmesan would do 😉"

Love you for your own love of food, Gennaro!

Sometimes I watch his videos just to make me feel good. He has such great energy.

[kodemin]

He cooks with passion, i think that watch mostly because of that, the recipes are easy

[bannedspencer]

The longer I cook Italian food, the more I realise that the simpler I make it, the better it is. There is a lot to love about French food...a lot....but geez, Italian food I think has it covered for the home cook

[georgiegan]

You know Gennaro is passionate about cooking when he don't even bother to hang up his jacket, just throws it on the floor. He has no time for it because he is cooking so good.

[arkay]

I love that this video is shown in real time. Sometimes other chefs make it so intimidating. Gennaro takes the fear out of trying his recipes. Thank you, Mr. G!

[j.s.]

I really love this guy. You can see and feel his passion for cooking which I can totally relate to and it always puts a smile on my face.
The carbonara after his recipe is probably my favorite dish to make and eat.

[axelen]

I love how he switches from italian to brittish when he talks

[devian]

I love this man, cooks with passion, cooks with love. Amazing man.

[shielalouflores]

I really admire how he puts every ingredient into the pan with so much passion.
