Thank you, Chef, you explain very well the options in the ingredients to use such as the cheeses, pasta fresh or dry. How to balance the dish with (hot) not boiling water and so on. You are a very good teacher and I noticed in every video you make, you stop cooking and explaine the why and don'ts. Love to learn from you. Best Regards. .👍❤

Love the aglio oloio e pepperoncino. We just tried it for the first time while in Roma. Have yet to try making it at home. All the pasta was very firm in Italy. Thanks!

"If you only have Parmesan, fine." You could hear tremendous amount of dissappointment from his sound in this statement.

You can use a LARGE LADLE and use that big fork to spin the pasta in the ladle. Then plate it. It makes an amazing pasta nest. Easy, simple, and makes it look like you actually know what your doing! Lol That’s last statement is pertaining to my meagre kitchen skills. But I try! I would love to have what I make look like it’s actually supposed to. Kinda like the picture they show at MacDonalds or hungry jacks, but what you get usually isn’t the same. Most times you’re lucky if the cheese is put on them straight and not only half on your burger.

Ehilà! Sono un grande amante della pasta e adoro questi tre modi di prepararla, grazie per aver condiviso la tua fantastica ricetta - una pasta incredibilmente deliziosa, immagino, farebbe impazzire le nostre papille gustative! E la parte migliore è che con il Metodo FESPA non devo sentirmi in colpa perché mi godo il mio cibo preferito. È rivoluzionario e mi permette di mantenere uno stile di vita sano pur assecondando il mio amore per la pasta. Quindi dai, facciamo roteare insieme quei noodles e assaporiamo ogni delizioso boccone!
