Pasta Alla Boscaiola - Woodsman Pasta

Today we're making Pasta alla Boscaiola otherwise known as Woodsman style pasta. There are many ways to make this recipe but I especially love it with rosemary. It has sausage, onions, garlic, and lots of mushrooms in a delicious cream sauce. Enjoy!

Man your channel is perfect. Clear concise recipes. Your approach is like "Here is the dish, lemme show you how to make it". Simple and accessible. Never stop uploading.

Sometimes when I feel somewhat anxious, this channel is what I like to watch: simple, soothing, rhythmic, no gimmicks or loud flashing things - just delicious food presented in an accessible and friendly way. Keep it up, this is awesome!!

0:38 "Mise en place"... Absolutely! Cleanliness and adds the aspect of fun during the main event!
EDIT: Nice recipe. Building Pasta dishes are one of my favorite activities! Thank you!

I love that you get your family involved. Nothing is better than having your family together while you are cooking in the kitchen.

Sitting at home in Denmark, watching probably my 100th video of yours is a testament to your great work in many ways. We are so far apart geologically and culturally, but you bring something everyone needs with their cooking.
Namely, enjoy the little things, do things your own way and share it with people you love.

I hope you never stop making videos James!

[LENSKA]

showing what goes inside in the first minute is like one of the best things that almost no one does. so even if it's formaliac.. KEEP IT. FOREVER.

[curtispartain]

also, really enjoy how you incorporate your family in the episodes...very authentic!

[curtispartain]

If we cant boil pasta by now we probably need watch something else! I love your series!

[smem]

I love that your family is honest about their thoughts on the dishes and that you accept their feedback so graciously, there is so much mutual respect here

[ulmersapiens]

Boiling the pasta out of frame is perfectly okay. Please continue to rock.

[KSGomez]

I know I say this on pretty much all your videos, but your cooking channel is seriously awesome! No frills, no fakeness... Just clear content and delicious recipes! Thank you for everything you do!

“Pasta alla Boscaiola” ….. Another very delicious Italian dish known throughout Italy ! 👍😋 It originates in the area of Tuscany and there are some variations of it. Greetings from Italy ! 👋

[warroom]

As always, I love the prep and organization of ingredients. Aside from other content creators, you stand out because I feel like you REALLY want us to make these dishes and you inspire us to do so by making it less intimidating! Thank you to you and your family, I'm glad to see your wife participating more🤗❤

I became a massive home cook over the past 3 years. As you can tell by my name I'm very Italian but I never got into cooking italian/italian-american dishes until I found your channel. Thank you!

I love that your family is so honest in their reviews, and don’t just rave that OMG THIS IS THE BEST (fill in the blank) IVE EVER HAD! So many channels try to attract viewers with over the top antics and strained efforts to be hilarious that just come off as cringey. All three of you come off as a nice family, naturally chill, sharing good food. And as many have posted before, you come across as a very good teacher and “explainer”. I continue to really enjoy your channel very much! (And I continue to lobby for an episode of you and James cooking together!)

This reminds me of the best quiche I’ve ever had. I told our server “This tastes like the forest!” They looked appalled. And I was like “No no! In the best way possible!” The next week, it was on the main menu as THE FORESTER🤣🥰

Aside from the recipes being excellent, I watch these before bed because of how relaxing they are!

[cretracks]

I made this tonight from the written recipe, which is just a touch different from the video but close enough. I used whole plum tomatoes and crushed them by hand, that way you get bits of tomato which gives the dish a little more texture. Didn't need any pasta water - it was perfect. This recipe tasted like the pasta dishes we had traveling through the hills of Tuscany where everyone cooks with rosemary. Really wonderful!!

[LouisShannon]

I love that you bring the whole family in for the taste tests!

[Tomezilla]

What I love most about this is how your whole family got to enjoy it with you. Seeing the smile on your face as they taste what you've put your passion into is awesome. I hope to be able to experience the same things someday.
