I like how all of the ingredients flow into one another - you cook the sausage in the guancale fat, you cook the garlic in the sausage fat, you reuse the fat to make the second sauce, you use the leftover ambient heat to temper and warm that mixture. It highlights how all of these foods were originally peasant dishes, and everything would have been used and reused - including cooking heat, as fuel was something that cost energy or money to acquire as well as the food, and most people would've only had one or two pots and pans.

That is one of the prettiest looking pasta sauces ive ever seen. It's got the gloss from the fat, the creaminess from the cheese and egg. SHEESH. I'm totally making this.

Gotta thank you man. I've made 8-10 of your recipes these past 3 years. All amazing. Love the red pepper and Calabrian chili pasta sauce the best. Before finding you, I didn't even know what carbonara was. I'm 37. My new girlfriend thinks I'm some amazing chef cause of you homie. Big love and keep em coming. Imma make this one next weekend.

My wife and I just bought a new house and I made this tonight as the first dish in the new house. Absolutely best pasta I’ve ever had. Love the videos and recipes you put out. I just wanted to say thank you from all of us home chefs trying to make great food for the people we love.

Showing when you make mistakes and correcting them is just one more reason that makes your channel pure gold. This is exactly what people learning to cook need to see. Not perfectly curated content, but real cooking, mistakes and all. Keep it up Stephen - fantastic work. One of my favourite cooking channels.

as an italian i’m very happy someone is really doing great italian food taking original recipes as better as he can

I really love how you set yourself apart by doing recipes that are not viral. Like, it's common to see some of my favorite youtubers all of a sudden share the same recipe. Keep up the great work!

I can't put into words how stunning that pasta looks, just beautiful.

You're cooking video's are unquestionable some of the best on youtube. Simple, easy to follow, and good explanations of everything involved. Your video's from the past have helped me learn, and cook the Roman pasta dishes to where my mom requested my carbonara for Mothers Day this year, and a LOT of it was from learning it from you sir. Well done, and thank you for being so good at this stuff.

Brilliant, like always. Just a friendly advice: guanciale and pecorino are extremely salty, so be careful not to put too much salt when cooking the pasta

I've been watching your videos since the lockdowns, when learning about cooking was my main comfort. I'm so happy how your following grew ever since, you deserve the success ❤

I really love Rome's pastas, thanks for showing me this one - a must try!

I love this guy, he's so entertaining. Aside from having the"it" factor, everything he makes looks delicious. You can tell he's the real deal and can really cook!

[joshsos]

I love how you simplify Italian dishes and explain exactly what you are doing and why

[bradh]

I really need to start working out but I have to say after growing up in a town with Italian food (typical stuff you find at a carryout restaurant), this video made my mouth water. The combination of all those things sounds good. I enjoy your videos, you do a great job producing/editing them. Of course that's why you have so many subs. Kudos man! Hope your success continues!

[gennaroacanfora]

I mean this is just perfect. Really grateful for making our food culture clear to the world!

[lastorianostra]

BRAVO! As an italian chef, I have to say you are one of the very rare american fellow in grade to understand our cuisine!!! BRAVISSIMO! If I had to observe one stuff, I'd complain about the fact that you got rid of the guanciale spicy side. I really did not understand why you cut that part off. All the rest is an outstanding oeration extremely well done! Top! Arrivederci mio caro.
Andrea from Roma.
