If you want to laugh, check out the original video from 4 years ago. This one is improved in all ways! The ingredient amounts (also in grams) are right in the description and the print recipe is linked there as well. As always, thanks for liking our recipes and videos and sharing our family table each week.

The baking soda helps to stop the meat from "tightening up". This can also be done for beef in stir fries to prevent the meat from going too chewy

"We're gonna put in a half a cup of white wine. You can measure if you want, you don't ha... doesn't matter." This is how I cook and why I love this channel for both recipes and entertainment.

I love these videos. I’m a counsellor and I watch in between clients to relax ☺️

[sparkymona]

Please make a cook book! Your recipes are the best!

[brianmoore]

This is certainly my favorite cooking show to watch on the tube, and its because your recipes are really good and your instructions are slow and clear. Making your dishes has enhanced my cooking at home and made me much more confident with everything I'm whipping up.

[daphnegold]

This is like a college class. Really fantastic! These recipes can be learned from just listening. People would want to attend your college. Thanks!❤

[PacoRobbins]

So you secretly looked at my grocery order and saw I had linguine and did this recipe today. Very cunning.

[mdnghtun]

Always enjoy your videos, man. I like that you are not dogmatic about the recipe and endorse just going with the flow sometimes. Also - thanks for including the metric conversions in the video description.

You're a mind reader! I watched your older version of this recipe last night, and decided to make it for my mom on Mother's Day. Then I woke up today and saw this! Great minds think alike 😊 It looks delicious!! I bet my mom will love it!

[ja_santana]

What an AMAZING recipe, Jimmy! Thanks a lot, it looks absolutely delicious.

[JoeG]

great dish, my grandmother was born in Sicily, and use to make this for us.

[bryangolf]

Simply thank you for showing how you cook. I also really enjoy how you deliver your thoughts and how you say things. It’s refreshing and real. Perfect.

My mother who happens to dislike spicy food is out of town, so my father and I made this tonight.

Pretty much followed the recipe exactly, except I mashed the anchovy filets with a fork before adding to the pan.

Your wife is low-balling your dish with a 9/10… this was mighty tasty. 9.75/10 here.

[franniemelville]

Loved your personal stories at the end! Can't wait to make this!

As an Italian American formerly from Long Island. Your recipe turned out really tasty. I took you wifes advice and topped off our dishes with fresh basil and Locatelli cheese which took it over the top. And may I add it tasted even better reheated the next day. Good job James. P.S... Wish they would open an All American Burgers in Palm Beach Gardens FL.

Used this recipe for calameri with a little more oregano. As someone used to Bronx Italian food this was the best that I ever made. Thank you for GREAT N.Y. Italian recipes.
