I've watched so many pasta-making videos, and even though they are basically all an extremely similar "recipe, " none of them have been as EXCELLENT as this one. This guy is so funny and so wonderful! What a contagious joy!

[VictorYepello]

Giuseppe is so much fun to watch. Love his approach to making pasta.

I have to admit, I cried watching this video! It brought some very old memories of my late grandma.

She was Sicilian and very proud of her heritage. Sunday used to be “Family Day” and she would have the whole family for lunch. She used to have a wooden board to put over the table just for mixing the dough, a massive, thick, heavy rolling pin (about 4’ long!!!) and an old wooden broom stick to dry the pasta! Watching her working was a thing of beauty!

I remember the countless times that she tried to teach me how to make the dough and I’d lose count on daily basis on how many times she would slap my hand telling I’m being to hasty or careless with the dough.

One particular part of the video that struck a chord with me was when Giuseppe mentioned about the flour well with the eggs in the middle and slowly adding the flour from the pile. That’s exactly how she used to do it… *sigh*


Thank you! Thank you so much for this experience and trip down memory lane!

I bought a pasta machine and as suggested, I do feel much better about myself!

[soliviturambulando]

This is how cooking classes should be conducted... with ease, sagacity and some subtle snark.

[gerardacronin]

This is quite simply the BEST tutorial on making pasta that I have seen. Bravo!

[DanielBrownsan]

This is just about the only accurate video on all of YouTube about how to make pasta dough. Kudos!

[chanjcm]

I love Giuseppe's energy and his commentary!!!

[SerHenkan]

Guiseppe's love for pasta is contagious! Please do more videos with him, I'd love to see him cook some authentic and classic italian dishes, like amatriciana etc!

[ALR]

Absolutely superb - wonderful to watch - thank you so much.

[SigurdurArmannsson]

A perfect addition to this channel. I love fresh pasta and enjoy making it.

[mandiigraham]

Fantastic class. I have been making pasta for a while now but there is always something more to learn. Making fresh pasta is so relaxing and very rewarding. My family love it.

“First of all, if you don’t have a pasta machine, get one” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[buddha]

This man is very captivating, his speech is not mundane or repetitive and it keeps your mind wanting more. I have to say, one of the easiest teachers I have had the privilege to watch and listen to!

You only mentioned "get a good one (pasta machine)"... Would you care to tell us which one/s you have?

Thank you, wish I was still living in Germany.. I would take a week and visit.

[tina-mariehennessy]

Great video. Giusseppe, is such a good teacher and so funny. Xxx

[daxapanchal]

You are fun to watch, thank you for the class.

[shaunjohle]

Absolutely wonderful. Man after my own heart.

[markharrisllb]

I really like his approach, this is how we should all handle food. I’m glad my greatest mentor as a chef was Italian, he taught me food was about all our senses.
